Getting a denim skirt was one of the first suggestions made to me on YLF and often I have solved a wardrobe dilemma with wearing it.</p> <p>I'd like to get a new one without a front zip too, as others have pointed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-832021 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:15:50 +0000 Makrame 832021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the denim skirt from JCrew that Angie's client Karen was wearing in the blog post and it's great! I tired a few denim skirts - many of them are too short and some (like Not Your Daughter's Jeans Andi skirt) just did not feel right. I think the longer length on JCrew skirt is appropriate for all ages, and if you like pencil skirts, this is a nice variation on the style.</p> <p>I think this is the skirt <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~65324/99102596604/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~denim%20skirt/65324.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navig...../65324.jsp</a> but there is only one sizer available. They will probably have more in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831912 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:27:05 +0000 Mia 831912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am close to your age and I just acquired another one. I think like jeans they are ageless but the distressed mini's best left to those with the gams for them!</p> <p> I love them for warm weather travel as they are very versatile and comfy if you get the right one for you. Net a Porter has them so that's current enough for me.I think they are one of those items that can be really strong some seasons not so much others but is never completely out of the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831907 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 07:08:41 +0000 Astrid 831907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one on my list too! I don't think you are too old to wear one. I like these two from Boden, they have options that are a lovely blue without fading or distressing. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Skirts/Above-Knee-Skirts/WG444/Womens-Everyday-Mini.html?NavGroupID=13" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....GroupID=13</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Skirts/Knee-Length-Skirts/WG455/Womens-Everyday-A-Line-Skirt.html?NavGroupID=13" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/.....GroupID=13</a></p> <p>I'm thinking about getting the mini in the longer length once I'm finished with SYC. I also like Beth Ann's idea of a chambray skirt with inverted pleats, sounds fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831864 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 05:56:49 +0000 stitchywitch 831864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two denim skirts and I love them! I like a pencil style in a stretch denim. I don't like the jeans style fly - I had a Gap skirt with that style, and it always rode up and looked strange. I think they are always in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831858 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 05:47:24 +0000 Adelfa 831858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not too old. I have one that I mostly love, that I get compliments on. However I too have the bulky zipper problem. Somehow in jeans the zipper gets pulled flatter, but in a skirt it can kind of bunch up. So be aware when shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831800 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:54:36 +0000 DonnaF 831800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm your age, so hope I'm not too old! I got my NYDJ Andy cut skirt a year or two ago and really like it since it has quite a bit of stretch and is small enough at the waist. Their more current Emma cut is quite a bit straighter and doesn't fit me. (I find many, many skirts are too big at the waist for me.)</p> <p>If I'm wearing tights and a skirt isn't lined, I just add a slip and that seems to solve the problem. I have an ancient taffeta slip, so cling is not an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831782 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 03:27:22 +0000 Beth Ann 831782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another happy owner of two denim skirts -- two different washes. This year, I'm going for a soft chambray -- full with inverted pleats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831741 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:42:43 +0000 Kristin L 831741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a denim pencil as well. I like that it doesn't have the bulk the front zip ones feel like they have, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831707 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 02:21:06 +0000 TraceyLiz65 831707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't owned one in years but have been thinking about getting one myself! Glad to hear they are still in... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831680 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:59:02 +0000 K. Period. 831680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a denim pencil skirt and I love it. I wore it all last summer and into the fall, especially on casual Fridays at work. No idea why I haven't been wearing it lately--it seems perfect with boots and tights. I definitely think they are a fun piece to have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831660 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:49:22 +0000 Sarah A 831660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a great functional piece, I have a dark wash just above the knee with pencil skirt cut from Talbots many moons ago and a newer one (still many moons old) with more the the typical aline cut that is a little shorter from Old Navy. I would recommend both stores for options based on the quality and wear I have gotten from these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831656 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:43:44 +0000 Krista 831656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a denim skirt that I purchased from Tommy Hilfiger last year - I wear it quite a bit. I added a photo for you to see!</p> <p>My only complaints:<br /> - when I wear it with tights, it's like the two fabrics (skirt vs tights) are not compatible and I am always feeling like the skirt is riding. Something to consider if you live somewhere where tights under a denim skirt are a possibility!<br /> - similar to what Glory mentioned - the zipper in the front adds bulk sometimes, and that's just where I don't need bulk.</p> <p>I had a really cute pull-up/pull-on style a few years ago and I really liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831650 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:39:20 +0000 Glory 831650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! I was thinking of adding one for the spring. I actually do have one but it has a zipper in the front like a pair of jeans and it always feels that it is bulky there so I rarely wear it. I will follow this thread to see what some suggestions are. I am wondering about a pullup style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831620 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:04:46 +0000 Thistle 831620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just found this, so yes, I think they are still in style!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/18/karens-summer-style-denim-skirt-linen-blazer/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/.....en-blazer/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831619 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:03:55 +0000 Aziraphale 831619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? No! Of course you're not too old. Remember Karen, that client of Angie's? She had on a J Crew denim skirt last year. With a blazer, I think. It looked great. And she was in her seventies.</p> <p>As for "in style": I think they always are.</p> <p>No recommendations, though, as I'm not much of an online shopper.</p> <p>ETA nothing sexier than a mature woman in a denim skirt, heels and white shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831617 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:03:33 +0000 Thistle 831617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you are too old to wear one, but I have no idea if they are style or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jean-skirt-questions#post-831611 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:00:42 +0000 deb 831611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of a sudden I have a nagging desire to purchase a jeans skirt. I have never owned one and have no clue why I think I need one for spring. So I have questions......</p> <p>Am I too old (59) to wear one?<br /> Are they even in style right now?<br /> Do you have recommendations? </p>
