Spring might be here but with the temperatures still erring on the side of chilly (or downright freezing), we’re not quite ready to break out our mini dresses just yet. Thankfully, there’s one trending style that’s not only flattering and chic, but will help keep you warm, too.
A denim maxi skirt is a great alternative to your favourite jeans, and will keep the cold at bay whilst still having a lighter, springtime feel to it. If that sounds like an instant must-have, Marks and Spencer’s Denim Split Front Maxi Skirt, £35 here, is the perfect pick to add to your wardrobe.
The M&S denim maxi skirt has a relaxed, straight fit with a high waist and a split at the front that makes it comfortable and easy to wear. It also has a raw hem detail that helps make it look more relaxed and contemporary, with a classic button and zip fastening and belt loops to rival the look of your go-to jeans.
It’s available in three different lengths – petite, regular and long – and comes in sizes 6 to 24 so you can get the perfect fit for your body type. You can also choose from three different colours of denim, with black, medium blue and light blue options available so you can pick the colour that best fits the rest of your wardrobe.
Shoppers have been singing the skirt’s praises for how flattering and versatile it is, as well as the quality, saying: “Soft denim, not too thick , very on trend and versatile.” Another added: “Great skirt, looks equally good with trainers or boots.”
A third wrote: “Comfortable and easy to wear” with someone else adding: “Lovely soft denim with a washed finish. Great flattering cut.”
Others were also stunned at how smart and chic the skirt was, saying: “Classy, very versatile skirt” whilst another penned: “So surprised that denim could be so smart.”
If you’re worried about being swamped by the denim, you don’t have to be. The style is surprisingly flattering and chic, and can be styled in a whole host of different ways. Pair it with a simple white T-shirt and trainers for a casual weekend look, or wear with your favourite knee high boots and a blouse for the office. You can even team it with a bodysuit and heels for a more evening-ready look.
However, you could always opt for a midi length, rather than a maxi, if you’re worried about the length being too much for you. We’re loving H&M’s Midi Denim Skirt, £27.99 here, which stops mid-calf and comes in a classic dark wash blue colour that’s perfect for spring – and baring a little more skin. We know exactly what we’re doing to upgrade our denim this season!
