36 Best Denim Skirts for Fall 2025, According to Style Editors

The best denim skirts of fall 2025 are, well, pretty much any silhouette you fancy. After appearing in all its glorious forms on the runway this season—long and tiered at Zimmermann, micro-cut at Isabel Marant, knee-length at Diesel—the humble denim skirt is now undoubtedly one of fall’s biggest trends. So the good news is that whichever hemline, wash, or rise you prefer, it’s going to feel right. But where to start? That’s where the Glamour team comes in. Ahead, our editors curated a selection of standout options and pulled together styling tips for each assortment, so you know the boot trends and cute bags to wear alongside them. Scroll down to find your ideal style (or two).

The best denim midiskirts

This is the silhouette to reach for if you’re looking for a more sophisticated take on the jean-skirt trend—especially if you go for a high-rise A-line denim skirt or low-rise slim cut with a front slit. Both cuts read classically chic, styled with a streamlined riding boot and relaxed V-neck sweater. However, if you’re trying to look more edgy than elegant, something with an asymmetrical cut or visible paneling should do the trick.

The best denim miniskirts

Few pieces can feel more youthful and fun than a denim miniskirt. But to avoid taking this style in too much of a middle-school-dance direction, try a design with sophisticated details, like a slight flare or wraparound element, and stick to ladylike blouses versus graphic tees or tank tops. Pro tip: For this silhouette specifically, it’s best to eschew stretch denim with a lot of give, as even the smallest change in the design’s original shape will change how it sits on the body. Very high and low waistbands are also hard to pull off—so when in doubt, opt for a mid-rise.

The best knee-length denim skirts

If you’re looking for an easy throw-on-and-go option that feels casual—but a little more grown-up than a mini—the knee-length denim skirt is for you. For low-key days, go for a playful pleated skirt; you could also go a more dressed-up route via an ’80s-inspired high-waisted pencil skirt. The beauty of this street-style favorite is that you don’t need to rack your brain for super-inventive outfit ideas. Since this design is inherently polished, it’ll go wonderfully with more timeless wardrobe staples, like a T-shirt or crewneck knit.

The best denim maxiskirts

While there’s certainly plenty of denim-maxiskirt inspiration to be found within the freewheeling style of the ’60s and ’70s, the look has been moving in a more modern direction lately. Enter this season’s streamlined long skirts, which are perfect with a crisp button-front top or fitted turtleneck—think more prepster-cool than Woodstock. And if you’re going for a free-spirited vibe? Skip out on fading and distressing (too obvious!), and add in flower-child homages via a shirt with romantic flourishes, like lacy texture or lace-up details.

The best curvy denim skirts

The right fit is key to pulling off a denim skirt of any variety, but finding the right one requires time and research. The options gathered here, all from brands that prioritize inclusive sizing, worn on a range of body types, will make the process a little easier. As for choosing a cut and wash? That’s on you.

The best petite denim skirts

The original hem is often an important design flourish on a denim skirt, so it’s best to avoid tailoring if possible. That’s a tricky task for the under-five-foot-four crowd unless, of course, they are starting with one of the following selections. All of them have been specifically measured and made to fit (and flatter) people with more petite proportions without needing to get anything hemmed.

How to style denim skirts

Just as versatile as straight-leg denim, jean skirts are true capsule-wardrobe essentials—and they’re beyond easy to style. When in doubt, go with whatever you’d normally wear with a pair of jeans, like a white T-shirt, minimalist jewelry, and ballet flats. Style midi and maxi lengths with a denim shirt or a simple tee for the office or a dinner date; go with a jersey and slim sneakers for more casual outings. If you prefer a miniskirt, we suggest contrasting the flirty length with structured pieces, such as tailored blazers and sharp loafers. But honestly, there are no set rules—I’ve seen every length and styling choice at Fashion Week, and I think of the skirts as true blank slates.
