Summer is officially in full swing in the Philippines. Students are out for the long holiday, fresh graduates are partying the summer away, and families are planning their annual getaways. Things are really heating up in this 35-degree weather, making it the season for bikinis, sundresses and shorts. This time around, many are also ditching clothing items like jeans. We want to avoid feeling constricted and feeling that inevitable sweat building up as the material traps your body heat. After all, we do need to let our skin breathe!
Despite jeans lacking the breathable quality that other fabrics like cotton are known for, denim is still considered a must-have for these hot summer months. Denim cutoffs may still be the summer jean staple, but how about we take a look at another denim item that recently made a comeback?
The ‘90s are alive and well with the abundance of slip dresses and chokers. Also joining us from that decade is the ubiquitous denim skirt. From the button front to the sexy frayed mini, the jean midi to the split front, denim skirts were all the rage then and are now back in style. This leaves us to question whether any clothing trend could ever be considered outdated anymore. Nonetheless, the denim skirt is here to stay.
While this denim item is clearly a product from an earlier decade, you want to avoid actually looking like you’ve time traveled from the ‘90s. One of things that you have keep in mind when reintroducing a past fad is finding a way to contemporize the piece. It’d look and feel strange for you to have your hair in a high ponytail wrapped in a scrunchie, wear jelly sandals and jean skirt. By no means are you expected to stick to one decade in your #OOTD.
So how would one wear a denim skirt in 2017? Let’s count the ways.
1) Muscle Tee and Distressed Denim
Not sure how to wear a mid-length jean skirt? Try it on with a muscle tee! Muscle tees can often look manly, but with the help of the help of the denim skirt, there’s a balance between masculinity and femininity. Plus, the distressed details are a perfect match for the tough outlook of the top. Finish the look with flat boots or simple heels.
2) Denim on Denim
No longer are all-jean-outfits considered a fashion faux pas, so long as you wear each piece in different washes. With our Denim Front Button Mini Skirt, you’ll want to put on a chambray shirt in a lighter shade. Make sure to tuck your shirt into your skirt so that the buttons are all lined up.
3) Work Casual Denim
A jean skirt with a slit in the front has a very similar silhouette to the typical office pencil skirt. If your office allows jeans, slip into that denim skirt and pair it with a white button-up. This look is sexy and smart, and it’s an ensemble suited for the work week and weekend lunches.
4) A Feminine Denim Silhouette
For those A-line and other shapely silhouettes, match the skirt with something equally as girly, such as a off-shoulder blouse, crop top or anything that accentuates those curves. Poofy midis and our High Waist Denim Tutu Mini Skirt are extra cute and make you feel you’re a dancer.
5) Denim Maxi and Statement Tee
There’s something inexplicably adorable about this outfit combination. While it may seem simple compared to the rest of the ensemble suggestions, a denim maxi skirt is a perfect match for a cute statement tee. With all that fabric in your maxi, you will need something to break it up, without ruining the consistency of the outfit. Denim midis also work with statement tees. The length is also perfect for showing off your new summer kicks.
