Denim Skirt Outfits You’ll Love This Fall & Winter

Skirt alert! We’ve got good news when it comes carrying over your warm-weather skirts into fall and winter – a well-placed layer or two can keep you cozy no matter what you have planned! Find out our fave ways to wear denim skirts through fall and beyond below.

Denim Maxi Skirts & Layered Tops

Stay warm all season long by pairing maxi skirts with layered tops. Choose a longer length skirt with alllll your favorite details (trending now: cargo pockets, slit fronts, and Y2K deets), then go for a tank top, thermal shirt, and faux leather jacket on top. Bonus: thermals are the easiest, most versatile layer for fall and look good with everything you already have in your closet.

Complete the winter wonderland vibe with a long scarf, crew socks, and boots or high-top sneakers. Wondering where to wear this ‘fit? We’re loving it for family outings, holiday concerts, and coffee dates! 

Denim Mini Skirts & Jackets

When leaves change and temps dip, you can still reach for your tried-and-true denim mini skirts with a little planning (and layering!). Balance a high-waisted mini skirt with a cozy sweater and jacket, then add leg warmers for an easy but warm winter outfit.

Choose a fun striped sweater or plaid flannel shirt for a splash of color to beat the winter blues, and a jean jacket for an on-trend denim-on-denim vibe. Long socks or leg warmers keep you warm and cozy, and hiking boots mean you’re ready for any adventure that comes your way.

Denim Maxi Skirts & Sweaters

Sometimes more really is more when it comes to winter skirt outfits, so grab your fave maxi skirt for more coverage and wear it with a soft sweater for your next night out. Mix and match your look with oversized sweaters, comfy turtlenecks, and long-sleeve blouses, then add cool lace-up boots and add a cute fringed scarf for ultimate winter style. 

Need a little more layering before you head out into the winter tundra? Add tights, fuzzy socks, and a beanie hat to round out your look.

Skorts & Sweatshirts

Keep your fall and winter outfits casual ‘n’ cute by wearing go-anywhere skorts and sweatshirts when temps drop. This “it girl” outfit is as easy as 1-2-3. Just choose a skort in your fave color and fabric, add an oversized sweatshirt, and throw on a pair of slouchy socks and sneakers. 

Skort are the ultimate versatile pieces – skirt in the front, shorts in the back, and cute and comfy from all angles! Wear ‘em with crew socks and sneakers for an old-school vibe or switch up your look by pairing them with combat boots or clogs.
