How to make a denim skirt look age appropriate

If you want to learn more, please visit our website.

Well, currently in Dallas it&#;s approaching 100 degrees and it&#;s very humid and hot!  I don&#;t know about you, but the last thing I want to put on in this Texas heat is a pair of jeans (although I still wear them a ton in the summer).  A great alternative to wearing a pair of jeans that&#;s still very effortless and cool (no pun intended)  is a denim skirt.  The a-line ripped denim skirt is being seen everywhere on celebs, fellow bloggers, and even some famous models, and on people of all ages.  You might be wondering this:  Am I too old to wear a denim mini skirt?  Well, the answer is this, if you style it appropriately and wear the correct size then my answer is no.  I&#;m 44 and think both of these ways I styled this fabulous a-line ripped denim skirt are appropriate for my age.

3 STYLE TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR A-LINE RIPPED DENIM SKIRT LOOKS AGE APPROPRIATE:

 

1.) WEAR THE CORRECT SIZE:

The worse thing you can do is wear a skirt that&#;s too small or too short, both things will make you look cheap and like you&#;re trying too hard to look .  My tip for you is that if your between sizes, always opt for going up one size.  This high-waisted denim skirt I&#;m wearing is by Agolde, it runs true to size, I&#;m wearing a size 25.

2.)   PAIR IT WITH SOPHISTICATED PIECES:

An oversized blazer (as I wore in look 1)  is a perfect example of a sophisticated piece that will balance out the amount of skin showing when you wear an a-line ripped denim skirt.  Since this blazer isn&#;t tight fitting it also balances out the proportions making you look polished and very put together.

3.)  WEAR A LOW HEEL, WEDGE, OR A FLAT SANDAL

If you pair your denim skirt with a pair of sky high stilettos or crazy high platforms you can end up looking like a woman of the night if you know what I mean, lol!  Keep it simple and sleek as I did in this post.  In look one I wore my favorite silver heels by Veronica Beard, the heel height is only 3.5 inches, low enough to look tasteful with a denim skirt, but high enough to make my legs look longer and me look taller, always a plus!

In look 2 I wore my go-to flat sandals for summer by Sam Edelman, these are so comfy I feel like I&#;m walking around in slippers!  I love them paired with cut-offs too.  They come in 7 colors and they&#;re under $80 making them a definite summer staple!

My linen blazer by Frame is so light-weight and cool making it the perfect jacket to wear in the summer time!  I adore the fun yellow and faded blue stripes, it looks fabulous paired with faded blue jeans and I even love it paired with white denim.  It runs true to size, I&#;m wearing a size 0.  If you don&#;t already own a linen blazer, I highly recommend it adding one to your summer wardrobe.  I hand picked some of my favorite linen blazers above at all price points, happy shopping!

My comfy tee by Free People tee I wore in look 2 is such an easy go-to tee to throw on with just about anything in the summer time and look chic and stylish!  It comes in 3 basic colors and it&#;s only $58, quite a steal for such a cute top!

In my K/R thread today I discovered that the denim skirt is an opinion divider. I've experienced negative comments on that particular piece from friends, too. This puzzles me, because the fabric in itself is everywhere else - in jeans, obviously, but in also shirts, dresses, jackets and jumpsuits. Why is the denim skirt so difficult to like? Is int only this particular shape, (A-line with buttons), or the whole lot?

I'm not very fond of the denim pencil skirt, but I have a sugar eye for the A-line shape in denim. Recently I saw this one from AG by Alexa Chung, and loved it. But, being 46 and not 23 AND a high school teacher, I prefer a midi version, so that's what I've been tracking down.

Over to you: Do you like denim skirts? If you do, which style do you prefer? If you don't, why?
