5 Ways to style a denim skirt for fall
This fall, I knew I wanted to add a denim skirt to my capsule wardrobe, but I also needed to make sure I could style it multiple ways. For me, every piece in a capsule wardrobe has to work hard, and that means being able to dress it up or down depending on the occasion. In this post, I’ll show you how I’m styling my new denim skirt for everything from casual days out to more polished looks. Here’s how I’m making this classic piece work for any situation!
Neutral cardigan + denim skirt + black boots
This outfit showcases a casual and cozy fall look. I'm wearing a neutral, buttoned cardigan tucked into a classic denim midi skirt with a front slit, adding just the right touch of structure and ease. I paired it with black ankle boots, which ground the outfit and make it perfect for a laid-back day or a casual outing. The balance of the soft, chunky sweater and the structured denim creates a comfortable yet stylish ensemble that transitions well into cooler weather.
Black blazer + sweater + denim skirt + leporad flats
In this outfit, I'm layering a rich burgundy sweater with a black open-front blazer for a cozy yet polished look. Paired with my classic denim skirt, the front slit adds some structure to the flow of the outfit. I added a belt to define the waist and finished the look with fun leopard-print flats for a touch of pattern. The mix of textures—knit, denim, and suede-like flats—makes this a perfect look for a casual day or even a laid-back office setting. Simple and chic!
Moto jacket + graphic tshirt + denim skirt + black-boots
In this outfit, I paired a concert graphic tee with a classic denim skirt and added a black moto jacket to bring some edge to the look. The front slit in the skirt adds movement and a bit of structure, while the black heeled boots pull everything together for a chic, polished vibe. The mix of the graphic details and leather jacket creates an interesting contrast, making this outfit perfect for a casual yet edgy day out. Simple gold accessories complete the look without overpowering it.
Neutral vneck sweater + denim skirt + tall boots
In this outfit, I'm wearing a neutral v-neck sweater tucked into a classic denim skirt with a front slit for added movement. I paired the look with tall beige boots, which not only add warmth but also give a chic, polished finish. The soft, casual feel of the sweater contrasts nicely with the structure of the skirt, while the boots elevate the outfit for a more put-together look. This combination is perfect for transitioning into cooler fall days, blending comfort with effortless style.
Blazer + striped shirt + denim skirt + boots
In this outfit, I styled a classic navy blazer over a striped top for a fresh, nautical-inspired look. The denim midi skirt adds a casual element to balance out the structure of the blazer, while the white sneakers keep the outfit comfortable and laid-back. The combination of stripes, denim, and a blazer creates a polished yet effortless feel, perfect for a casual day out or even a relaxed work meeting. Simple gold accessories complete the look with a touch of sophistication.
Denim skirts are an incredibly versatile piece that can be styled in so many ways, making them perfect for a fall capsule wardrobe. Whether you're layering with sweaters, adding edge with a moto jacket, or keeping things casual with sneakers and a blazer, the denim skirt can be dressed up or down for any occasion. It's all about mixing textures, adding layers, and choosing the right accessories to create looks that feel both comfortable and stylish. I hope these styling tips inspire you to experiment with your own denim skirt this season!
