From Rick Owens to Sacai, these are the Vogue-approved denim maxi skirts to shop

Very recently, the fashion industry has seen a shift in silhouette—parting ways with anything micro such as miniskirts and petite handbags. Maxi silhouettes have taken over street style and social media, with supersized tote bags and shapely longline dresses gaining massive popularity. As for the latest in the maxi family? Denim maxi skirts.

A versatile style suited for a motley of occasions, the denim maxi skirt offers an elevated twist to any outfit whilst remaining sensible and elegant. First seen on the spring/summer 2023 runways, models streamed in donning various numbers, albeit modified slightly to fit various house codes. Balenciaga showed a washed grey option, with understated distressing and dirt marks strewn all over to mimic that of a thrashed, vintage piece. Ensuing that, more powerhouse brands took on the maxi skirt, with the fall/winter 2023 season seeing a strong outing for the heavily sought-after silhouette. Provocative brands like Diesel and Marine Serre offered washed and deconstructed versions for the edgy fashion-forward consumer, while Coach showed a classic light-wash staple that would work in any capsule wardrobe.

On the streets, style savants and fashion editors have picked up on the trend, too. A double denim ensemble seems to be the go-to style option, while an oversized hoodie or crop top pairing provides a casual alternative. For accessories, opt for a flashy belt to draw attention to the midriff, or a minimal one to tie the look together. A multitude of footwear gels with the maxi skirt as well, such as heeled boots or platform derby to play on proportions. Kitten heels or strappy sandals exude an effortless air of chic, perfect for the office or a dinner affair.

With so many options on the market, one is simply spoilt for choice. Below, skim through Vogue Singapore’s curation of the best denim maxi skirts available to shop now.
