That’s the way to do it- try it with things to see how it’d actually work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174968 Sat, 27 Feb 2021 13:54:54 +0000 LaPed 2174968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fourth option is great! Love the pop of white stitching. With the striped top and citron flats, I thought for a moment you'd posted a photo of Angie! You two will make amazing skirt twins. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174963 Sat, 27 Feb 2021 11:01:42 +0000 anchie 2174963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made my decision with your help, thank you so much. I am keeping #4!<br /> After playing in my closet this morning I have discovered that #4 is much more versatile than I thought. It can be dressed up to go to work and dress down to go to the beach. And everything in between. It can be styled equally well for winter and for the summer. I made outfits with tank tops and flip flops, and with boots, tights, sweaters and jackets. It looks equally good with sneakers, sandals and pumps. So many possibilities, can’t wait to wear some of them soon! </p> <p>Angie - how do you plan to wear yours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174917 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 23:31:31 +0000 Jenava 2174917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't read through all, but I would rule out 3 as the length isn't great.&nbsp; If you got for a stragith style, I like the style of 4 the best, as the wash and stitching is super cool and modern.&nbsp; 1 fits great though and gives you a long line with a tucked top.&nbsp; If you're going for more of a 70's a-line midi, then I'd say 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174891 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:55:48 +0000 anchie 2174891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apologies for disappearing - perils of working from home - difficult to tell when work day is over.<br /> I carefully read all your feedback, and i have some of the same concerns, especially about riding, bunching and shifting around. I am less concerned about it being too warm for the summer. I tried wearing it at home to test the fit issues but I was too cold in it. Because of the stiff fabric the skirt doesn’t touch my legs at all, making them feeling completely bare. So definitely not the same feeling as wearing jeans, which I usually don’t wear during the summer.<br /> My main concern currently are styling options. I will have a quiet weekend at home and will play in my closet to see how I like it styled in different ways. I really need to make a decision soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174873 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 18:44:29 +0000 rachylou 2174873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to 4 - the best of all worlds imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174844 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 17:02:52 +0000 Suz 2174844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the look of the last one but worry about the stiffness, for all the reasons <b>Jessikams</b> said. I would also worry about stiff denim in the heat of my former climate (which is similar to yours, I think). I can see it as perfect for my current climate, so it might work well for you in parts of June and then September, would be my guess.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's the thing. Do you wear full length jeans at all in the summer? If not, then a long denim skirt will only be marginally cooler, and might not be breezy enough for your summer climate.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, if it creases easily, it will frustrate you. For casual wear, you want to grab and go.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that, I <b>LOVE</b> how it looks on you so much that I want one myself, LOL!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174799 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 13:29:59 +0000 Jules 2174799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn’t be wearing that in my hot, humid summers, any more than I’d be wearing jeans (in fact my personal definition of hot weather is not being able to wear jeans comfortably, even cropped styles; it’s as much to do with humidity as temperature). However due to the length I think it would be great for cooler summer temps and transitional weather. The same weather people wear cropped pants and no socks for. Weather that barely exists here, sadly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174794 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:51:24 +0000 Anonymous 2174794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, 4 is the winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174791 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:47:19 +0000 Staysfit 2174791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like skirt 4. &nbsp;Your family is correct, it looks cutest. &nbsp;Hope you keep it! &nbsp;No time to go back and read the rest of the opinions..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174782 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:17:24 +0000 lyn67 2174782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DID NOT read comments but for your style I would suggest the last one-now off to see other comments for my validation(or not:-)). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174779 Fri, 26 Feb 2021 09:04:11 +0000 Jessikams 2174779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others have mentioned too, this kind of skirt tends to move around a lot on me.&nbsp; The waistband shifts up to my ribcage when I sit (and if there's a slit, then the slit is way too high and exposing everything).&nbsp; Or the skirt twists itself around when I walk, so that it ends up facing backwards.&nbsp; If the waistband is tight, then it won't move like that, but a tight waistband may not be comfy in summer.&nbsp; I guess skirts are often too tight in the thighs on me, and too loose in the waist.&nbsp; I hope your around-the-house fit tests show that it's a winner, because it does look great!&nbsp; And that dark denim won't show sweat marks or water marks from a dripping beverage either, which is nice for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174629 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 19:42:01 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2174629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa P, lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/4#post-2174592 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:19:19 +0000 Anonymous 2174592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok - re the "raw and stiff " part: how does it not slide right up under your arm pits when you sit down? &nbsp;That's always been my beef with structured skirts - and the minute I hear the words " stiff " and "denim" together, alarm bells go off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/3#post-2174591 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:17:01 +0000 Anonymous 2174591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new one is by far the most fashion -forward looking . &nbsp;I think it's great - and I don't even &nbsp;like denim skirts &nbsp;As to the fit etc, - that's something only you can decide on. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/3#post-2174586 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:01:20 +0000 Minaminu 2174586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the forth option is the best fitting one!

The quality, detailing and edgy fabric is amazing. The fit does not cling - and that's the best part. And sustainably and ethically made. LOVE IT :)</p> <p>It's not tight, 100% cotton, and A-line, so I doubt it will be too hot to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>*waving at my denim skirt twin*</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/3#post-2174556 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:58:28 +0000 Jules 2174556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love it, especially with those shoes. To me that shape reads dressier, more elegant than the others. Although understood that a denim skirt in itself is not dressy. But I am wondering how it looks with sneakers and how you're hoping to wear the skirt - casual, office, etc?&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is something I could throw on for just about any casual city activity in the summer. The new one wouldn't feel as effortless for me, while also not being appropriate for something like a wedding, but your style is overall dresser than mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/3#post-2174552 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:46:21 +0000 Star (Lise) 2174552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, agreed - no stretch is definitely cooler.&nbsp; Maybe it is heavier?&nbsp; So for me doesn't feel like a summer slip on and go item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-denim-skirts/page/3#post-2174550 Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:37:54 +0000 kellygirl 2174550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 for the win.
