Denim skirts

smittie

Hi Fabbers,
I'm wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for denim skirts that are thick (like Levis) , a-line or straight, and not too short. They can be above the knee, but mid-thigh is too short.

Have you seen anything? I can't seem to find anything. Maybe I should continue to wait a bit longer?

I've checked Boden, and they have some chino ones I like, but I'd prefer a thicker denim, with no ornamentation.

Thanks!

PS: I'm having great luck finding other things (lots of good shoe and sandal options. Ditto tops.) Just not jean skirts!

Levi's might work:

Thanks Nemosmom!
I didn't see that one (and others!). I have been browsing the sites on and off. (Also, I usually end up at the Canadian site, with fewer options).

Why are so many denim skirts 16" and the like? This white one is quite thick and may still be available at J.Crew. For the Topshop one, I ultimately picked out the stitched hem to make it longer.

Sort of buried since Boden has it listed with the chino skirts, but it looks like the Helena is available in denim.

Thanks Toban, LaPed, and Donna F.
DonnaF. I think the Jcrew skirt comes closest to what I’m look for. It looks long enough and thick enough. Yes, everything is 16” which is 3” too short.

LaPed- I saw that one but it’s not thick enough. I might just get it anyway.

Another vote for Talbots - their denim skirts last forever.

Ann Taylor has one - online only though, and belted. I have a white denim skirt I got there last year that I quite like, FWIW.

FWIW, the JCrew is 18.5” in front and 20” in back in a size 26. This is Regular; don’t know if it comes in Petite.

I wonder if Boden might add some in their summer release. Mine from them
is several years old (in fact, it’s the oldest item in my Finds), but it’s more or less just what you describe. Seems to be a staple for them.

Smittie I have a Mother denim skirt and it is really lovely - same denim as their jeans and sits below the knee. They do not sell my skirt any more (because it is about 12 months old) - but there is this one on the Mother website that could be promising, although it does have a front split- at least this skirt is long!

In finds is my skirt that is more of a classic denim skirt.

So many great options. I think i’m spoiled for choice!! Thank you so much for your replies. Your info helps me out enormously, as I find I get bogged down trying to find things.

Anyway,
The Anne Taylor looks the most promising—thanks Christina!

Also, the long Mother is TDF, Bijou. I love the colour and style. It’s not classic though, so i’d have to put it in my “wildcard” bucket.

DonnaF — The JCrew is really great too, but I’m on the fence because their fits are usually too straight for me. But I could size up and take in the waist.

I have just got this midi one from BR and it is quite nice (but size up, it has Japanese sizing). While it looks white, the denim is actually cream. I think it comes in light blue, too.
