Last season, we crowned the denim midiskirt as one of fall’s most-wanted It items. Since then, the style staple has continued to reign supreme among fashion’s chicest insiders to designers alike. With spring finally in full swing, it’s time to make the delightful denim skirt the centerpiece of your transitional weather wardrobe. Luckily, jean skirt outfits are almost too easy to style out—and right now, we’re mapping out eight jean skirt outfits that are totally trendy and forever timeless.

Start by wearing one with other closet classics already in your arsenal, like lightweight yet luxurious outerwear options, airy knits, crisp button-ups, and plain white tees ideal for layering. And while a denim skirt is a prized piece all on its own, the fashion favorite also pairs perfectly well with other top trending items—festive raffia bags from DeMellier and Bottega Veneta, a pair of mesh Mary Janes from Mango, Veronica Beard’s ladylike jacket, and sleek penny loafers from Saint Laurent all come to mind.

Vogue’s Jean Skirt Wish List:

Like your trusty Levi’s 501s, these jean skirt outfits have ample versatility, and can easily be worn dressed up with a polished leather jacket or down with a chic city sneaker. Speaking of pared-back, but never boring, Frame’s frayed denim midiskirt is worn best with a totally timeless trench coat from Joseph, Mango’s striped cardi, and a pair of fashion flip-flops from Proenza Schouler. On the opposite side of the sartorial spectrum, Agolde’s must-have maxi is a style star this season. Wear it with Dries Van Noten’s sporty striped polo shirt and a pair of Adidas Sambas. Meanwhile, nothing says easy, breezing spring dressing quite like Mother’s flared find, which is a perfect mate for Cos’ zipped-up bomber jacket and Manu Atelier’s masterfully minimalist tote bag.

And finally, because one denim pick is never enough, style Tove’s clean-lined midiskirt with Toteme’s preppy barn jacket, Banana Republic’s buttoned-up cardigan, and a pair of springtime loafers from Saint Laurent. Other jean skirts to shop this season include those from & Other Stories, Altuzarra, Ganni, and Khaite. All found below, of course.

The Everyday Essential With a Transitional Trench Coat

Of the season’s hottest new arrivals, we couldn’t help but notice Frame’s effortless yet still elegant denim midiskirt. Styling-wise, wear the everyday essential with Joseph’s timeless khaki trench coat and a striped cardi from Mango. Then, with warm weather on the horizon, slip into a pair of fashion flip-flops from Proenza Schouler. DeMellier’s raffia tote bag and a statement gold necklace from Completedworks tie the entire look together.
