Runway to Retail: Long denim skirts

Tracing the trend

Jean skirts were first introduced in the 1970s as a way to repurpose worn denim pants. They have retained validity as a fashion staple on and off ever since. In recent seasons, jean skirts in various styles have emerged as integral key items in many designer collections. One of the most prevalent has been the longer length version, working as a counterpoint to the mini skirt. Just like jeans, long denim skirts can work in any season.
