Reader Question - Long Denim Skirt

ReaderQuestion

You seem to have the shopping gene so maybe you can help me with my jean problem! I'm looking for a long jean skirt. I remember seeing one at Old Navy a few years ago, but I lived in Florida then and didn't really need one. I've since moved north and think something like that would be prefect but as of yet I cannot find one anywhere. Do you have any ideas? Thanks!

Julie, I'm not so sure I have a gene, but I do use my resources when it comes to hunting down items. One of them is Shop Style. It's a great website that not only can you search for items but you can narrow down your search based on price, color and more.

With that, I found some long denim skirts for you. I'm not sure what size you wear, but a lot of the offerings are in plus sizes.

If you wanted to go with a bit more modern cut of a denim skirt you could grab a knee-length skirt in a slimmer pencil shape. This length can be a little easier to wear also as it can be easily transitioned from summer (paired with sandals) right into winter (paired with tights and boots).

i really like this one. i was having a problem with wearing a denim skirt at all. i thought i looked funny. i didn't think about pairing it with tights and boots so it's updated a bit. i'm going to try that!

I'm so short that I rarely wear longer skirts, but I like the examples you've shared.

Denim skirts (long and short) are always one of the pieces I find everywhere in thrift stores. They're so ubiquitous and classic that people always have them (and are therefore always giving them away!). Therefore, check out some resale shops for option, too - especially if you want to experiment with different cuts, lengths, etc.

I don't know if you have a Cato near you but they usually have LOTS of long denim skirts at great prices!
