Hold Up, Is the 90s Delia's Catalog Maxi Jean Skirt Back?
Yes, the denim maxi skirt is trending and you can rock it–shop styles for all budgets.
A look Millennials will remember all too well is back: The denim maxi skirt. Once a coveted item in the Delia's catalogue, long denim skirts paired perfectly with flowy white tunics (probably from Wet Seal) for a boho-chic look. It was hard to race home to see if Backstreet Boys upended *NSYNC for the top spot on TRL...but Millennials managed.
TRL may be gone, but celebs have clearly voted the denim maxi back in...so long, minis. In October, Bella Hadid walked the Givenchy Womenswear Spring/Summer 2023 show in a denim skirt and was spotted in a similar style the next day. Julia Fox put a modern twist on the cowboy tuxedo in a mermaid denim maxi, big jean jacket and bralette. And Yoyo Cao's patchwork denim skirt kept a bomber jacket from feeling too tough at Paris Fashion Week.
TikTok is on board, and users are raving that the denim maxi skirt complements also-of-the-moment cropped tops, upgrading the style from its boho days. Some are even transforming their baggy jeans into skirts. It's understandable. Long jean skirts are in short supply or sold out at retailers like Old Navy, Revolve and Free People. But no worries if you don't have time to DIY or browse for hours. We found a denim maxi skirt in your size.
