When I was about seven, my mum used to wear this denim maxi skirt that I hated. I had many strong opinions on fashion — even back then.

It was loose and sat on her hips. It didn’t have any shape. I thought it was an “old person” piece.

But I’m ready to admit that I was wrong.

Maybe it was because she was my mum — and we don’t think our parents are cool until we’re actually adults ourselves — or because in today’s Y2K re-emergence I’m seeing styles I thought I hated in a new and refreshing light. But I can’t deny that I’m becoming a huge fan of a denim maxi skirt.

Worn and styled properly, they look effortlessly cool and even a little edgy.

Camila Mendes recently styled hers with a black crop, black boots, a cropped fur coat and sleek black sunnies — which hit the sweet spot between luxe and casual.

While Mendes opted for a more refined look, ‘it’ gal Emma Chamberlain went for a more baggy casual style.

Chamberlain paired her faded denim maxi with an oversized college jumper layered over a button-up white shirt, her look was giving school-core in that chill-but-fashionable way she pulls off consistently.

A denim maxi skirt is basically a more comfy pair of jeans. They work on every body type and can be styled in whichever way you feel suits you that day.

So, if you’re into sleek and sporty, baggy and grunge or dressed-to-the-nines — here are four different denim maxi skirts to shop now.
