Denim Skirts – It’s a Matter of Style
Look no further than Nordstrom’s for a perfect illustration of the wide range of denim skirt styles and prices. Originally a simple take-off on five pocket jeans, denim skirts are now full-fledged fashion statements on their own. At Nordstroms.com you can find a simple Lacoste stretch denim mini for $45.00 that’s perfect for the tennis courts or a funky distressed finish, boy-cut denim skirt complete with godet inserts and frayed hem that brushes the floor for a pricey $330.00 by prestige designer 7 For All Mankind.
Twirling six-gores, A-lines, pleated or straight – there are denim skirts for every taste and budget available in a staggering array of washes, weights and textures. The immense popularity of denim skirts is in part because it combines two elements – style and comfort – in a way not available to men.
Denim skirts give a woman the feeling of slipping into her favorite pair of faded jeans but with a bit more of a polished feel for going out to dinner and a movie in the evening. A favorite denim skirt, once broken in, will stay in the closet long after other skirts have faded to oblivion. You can dress a straight denim skirt up with a twin set or give it classic appeal with a crisp white shirt. Its tailored femininity can never go wrong. Take a look at the one at www.llbean.com for $39.00; the length, color and styling make this one a skirt you’ll keep for years.
Nothing, however, beats the denim wrap-around skirt for versatility and comfort! It doesn’t matter whether you’ve put on a few pounds, lost a few, or just ate too much at dinner, a wrap skirt is always forgiving. Make a denim skirt in a wrap style and you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again. Wrap it over a bathing suit in the evenings to walk on the beach, wear it with a sweater in the winter. You’re only limited by your choice of tops and footwear. Consider making your denim skirt reversible for more options, perhaps using a lighter denim or striped denim on one side. Sewing.about.com has an excellent article on making reversible clothes with illustrations and links.
My own confession is that personally, I find denim skirts more comfortable than jeans many days. No cumbersome inside leg seams, no need to suck in the tummy, and no worrying about what your butt looks like or panty lines. Denim skirts are fashionable, attractive, comfortable and easy! It just doesn’t get much better than that!
