WHEN it comes to ever evolving denim trends, the last one I expected to have a comeback was the skirt.
For most millennials, the denim skirt is a symbol of our youth attached to shrug cardigans, big belts and crippling Topshop ballet flats.
In the past month, Noughties It girls Kate Moss, Alexa Chung and Anne Hathaway have each been spotted wearing minis, midis and maxi denim skirts, cementing their status as a key denim look.
Like so many trends this season, and last, they seem to have sprouted from the Y2K era.
Whether it’s bodycon dresses being brought back to shelves, pedal pushers being a must-have item, or even wearing a headscarf. this once-deemed ‘naff’ era is having a major moment.
And when the icons of the time start to dig out their old looks and spin them into new, updated outfits, we have to pay attention.

Thankfully, denim skirts are an item that we can look good in – with a preferred length, shade and size to suit everyone.
Kate Moss, 51, is still clinging onto the early noughties look of a frayed denim hem with a thigh-grazing length – so if it’s good enough for her, it’s definitely good enough for us!
She’s – naturally – paired it with ballet flats, but she’s kept her look up-to-date by opting for a lace-up style.
As one of the celebrities who immediately springs to mind when I think of denim mini skirts, it seems fitting that Kate sticks to her signature, iconic style.
Even though Kate’s choice of mini might be vintage Levi’s or high end designer, F&F at Tesco has its own version for just £9.
Anne Hathaway, 42, was pictured wearing hers on the set of the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
The designer (and expensive) Agolde style would set you back £300 if you were looking to channel your inner Andy Sachs, however high street alternatives are just as good.
New Look’s denim maxi is just £35, has a high waist, which will enhance your figure for a defined hourglass shape, and a front slit to the knee.
Meanwhile, for Alexa Chung, 41, a denim mini was a go-to in the Noughties, but now she’s opting for longer knee lengths.
Seen on the streets in New York ateaming her skirt with a slogan tee and knee-high boots, she gives us a fresh take on an old classic.
And of course, she makes it look cool.
If you’re inspired by her knee-length look, head to H&M, which has a £27.99 option that channels Alexa’s style.

Opt for a lighter shade that pairs well for summer days with whites and creams.
This micro mini has a slight fringed hem, similar to Kate’s, for a supermodel-esque look.
A button-through style like Alexa’s, this option from Oliver Bonas in even in the sale.
