Seven Ways I’m Wearing a Denim Midi Skirt for Summer

June 5, 2025 No Comments

When denim midi and maxi skirts started coming back into style I said I would NEVER wear them—I was homeschooled and grew up in a very conservative environment and long skirts just gave me those vibes (nothing wrong with them, they just weren’t for me!).

BUT, I’ve slowly come around and I’ve been seeing so many cute ways to style them and I really found myself wanting to give one a try. So I picked this one up from Lulus and I feel like the high slit gives it a more modern vibe and not so “homeschooled”.

So, here are 7 ways I’m wearing a denim midi skirt for warm weather. I can’t wait to find even more ways to style this skirt!

Outfit 1: Denim Midi Skirt + Lime Green Sweater Tank

Black is always so classic with denim! This little black tank has a ruffle top and cinched bust so it’s just a little cuter than a basic tank.

As you can probably tell in this post, it was warmer out and then it got cooler again.

I start out in dresses, shorts, tanks, and breezy cotton and linen and I end up trading them out for jeans and pants near the end of the post. All part of living in northern NY and the ever changing weather and temperatures. What matters is I loved every single look and felt comfy and cute!
