I am sharing 35 ideas with you in this post. For even more jean skirt ideas, you can read my post about long jean skirts in my post “How to Wear an Old Favorite: The Denim Maxi Trend” HERE.
I love my jeans. When I had to wear business clothes to work every day, I couldn’t wait to get home to the comfort of my jeans. If I had to choose only one bottom to wear for the rest of my life, I could survive with blue jeans!
I also have a couple of jean jackets, a long denim skirt and a short denim skirt. Once in awhile, a jean jacket comes in handy. But with the skirts, I plan outfit combinations with them before I end up wearing them.
That’s because I prefer pants to skirts. If you are the type who prefers skirts to pants, a jean skirt could be as useful as blue jeans. Just substitute a jean skirt and a tee for jeans and a tee.
Age doesn’t matter. Anyone can wear denim. Wear what you love and show your true self!
