Mirah, I suspect the reason you are having a hard time finding an ankle length denim skirt is because they are impossile to walk in. I had one once, exactly as you described, not heavy denim, but not stretchy. Long A line down to my ankles. Even though it was A line, my stride (especially going up stairs) was impeded by the fabric.

even with a slit in the back? :( ...but i can see your point..

My skirt did have a side slit--about 12". It didn't help with the walking.

Is there a reason it has to be floor length? I agree with Nicole, they're impractical when they're literally ankle length. Also, denim skirts that long are hard to find partly because they tend to look extremely dated, very hippie dippie. But if you shorten the length just a little, to calf length or just below the knee, and get it in a very dark wash, it will look much more modern. The medium length are also easier to find. If you just want to cover your legs, maybe you could pair a medium length denim skirt with knee high boots. It's a wardrobe staple for me.

I've seen skirts like the one you are looking for at Coldwater Creek. I've never had an A-line denim skirt, so I wouldn't know about not being able to walk in them. I have had several straight denim skirts though and slits that come above the knee seem to help with the walking issues. Hope this helps. :)

Super advice Plushpenguin. Ankle length skirts are dated and hard to pull off with style. They are the last item a 5ft 6 or shorter women should be wearing. If you don't need to wear an ankle length skirt (because of a religious requirement), don’t wear one. I’ll be blogging about this soon so stay tuned.

Mirah, I was perusing the Boden website and they have a long washed linen skirt. Even though it's not denim, the image online looks denim-ish. (I just made up that word hee hee). Maybe you can trade fabric so you can still acheive the look you're after without sacrificing mobility.

hi nicole sarah and plushpenguin..u are all great! thanks so much for the tips! I do wear skirts with knee high boots all the time..love the style :)

Angie, it makes sense that shorter women should stay away from ankle length skirts.and i'm 5ft 4 so i do fall in the category..i just feel very comfortable in them.
It would be great if you could please post some tips on how to pair them up (not denim but ones in nice flowy fabrics . ).. or do u completely recommend against them ? :)

I do not prefer ankle length skirts for women unless they are tall. The model in the Boden catalogue looks great in the skirt because she's pushing 6 ft. Mid-calf skirt lengths for shorter women are great, especially when they are paired with knee high boots. This can even look quite funky. I bought a mid-calf length skirt last year which I love and I’m not tall either (5ft 6). My suggestion Mirah is to try and shorten your skirt length to at least mid-calf and show off those boots! It’s a more current and flattering look.

Mirah - I know you are looking for a longer A-line skirt but if you do decide to go for shorter (knee lenght perhaps) dark denim skirt. I bought one at Nau and absolutely love it. Its not A-line but very well contructed skirt for my body type - just in case you are interested :)

Oooh that is a cute skirt. I like how the model's socks are peeking over the tops of her boots....Don't know if I can get away with that look, it might be a bit young for me. But it's really cute!

Now that's a fab denim skirt moremirchi. The front slit makes it a little young, but if it were without the front slit, it would be a pretty ageless and timeless style.

that is really a good skirt ..thank you moremirchi ! Its not something I would wear (due to the slit being a little higher than I'm comfortable with :) ) Thanks everybody.. I am going to listen to you all and stick to my usual knee length skirts . I havent tried calf length yet because I thought they would make me look more round but will try one.

Angie, my "too young" concern was about the socks peeking over the boots. I don't know if I could find boots that are loose around my calves anyway.

nicole..i found some great wide calf boots on http://www.silhouettes.com recently..another great site for wide size boots is duo.com ..

sorry its http://www.duoshoes.co.uk

Thanks for the links Mirah~!

Lovely young lass like you Nicole could sport a sophisticated version of a sock peeking through above her boot if you wanted too!

I like this denim skirt and am seriously considering getting it:

Another really good denim skirt Dancingstar. Nice length, great vertical seaming and possibly even a dash a-line. It gets my vote.

Check out this Liz Claiborne skirt...it's a little on the longer side without being down to your ankles.

I liked the chunky stone necklace on the same page as the NY& Co Skirt too!

Angie,
At what age should people not wear those cute socks sticking out above tall boots? i saw that and thought it was super cute and a good way to wear boots in the late spring without being too hot in tights...

I've been curious about the socks sticking out boots look myself, and decided to just try it out today. I wore black knee socks that peeked out from my red boots, which are a bit "western" (but not completely cowgirlish), under a dark grey denim skirt. I was surprised how good it looked. Definitely a fun look, and I didn't feel that it was "too young" for me (I just turned 40.) Stephanie, just try it out, you might be surprised :-)

Great Antje! I can see you pulling off this look. I think that the secret is in the sock and the rest of the ensemble. If you choose a juvenile looking sock, it's not going to work. Keep it sophisticated, tailored and streamlined and you'll pull the look off appropriately at 40 plus.

I don't if it helps but you can find one here, made of alpaca wool
