Here’s a sentence I never thought I would say: denim mini skirts are back. When I first heard this, I literally cringed. I have a lot of embarrassing memories of wearing tiny denim skirts with ripped hems and visible pockets hanging out of the bottom from Abercrombie and Fitch, pairing them with Uggs and a polo shirt. Who wants that kind of early 2000’s fashion back? No one.

Luckily, the denim mini skirts that are making a comeback for fall are more reminiscent of a different time. With button-down fronts and mainly darker washes of denim, these skirts have much more of a boho ’70s vibe to them than a preppy, early 2000’s vibe – and I think that’s something we should all be thankful for. After seeing more than a few style bloggers rocking this style, I knew I had to write about it. Get yourself a denim skirt and you’re set for school… almost. Here are 20 style tips on how to wear denim mini skirt:

1. Keep things simple with a white tee and a cute necklace. You really don’t need anything else sometimes!
