If you follow latest fashion you will notice that denim-skirt is back. Celebrities and models are often photographed wearing jean skirts just about everywhere. Even high end fashion houses like Chanel included denim mini-skirt in the latest collection. That means one thing – denim skirts are trendy and you should have it in your wardrobe.
According to Amy Scattergood from Lost Angeles Times, perfect skirt should be casual, slung low on the hip and fit nicely your body. You should avoid pleats or detailing and stick to simple design. Denim minis will always go well with flip-flops or casual sandals, T-shirts or linen.
The good news is that you don’t need to spend much money on fashionable skirt. You can even make one at home. You will need an old pair of jeans or a vintage pair from a thrift store. Levi's have the trim fit and thick, durable weight that you want, as well as the minimalist styling that makes these skirts instant classics. The trick is to start with jeans that ride down a little on your hips that are roomy enough to allow for comfortable movement after you're done and that won't require any additional fabric when you're making the conversion from pants to skirt. It's an easy cut across both legs, a satisfying amount of seam-ripping, some quick stitching, a wash and dry to fray the edges -- and you're done.
