The long denim skirt is the trendy model of the moment: from spring summer 2023 fashion shows to street style fashion, here’s how to wear the maxi model
Miniskirts have dominated our style horizon for what seems like an eternity now, but recently designers have taken a (welcome) step up from hem length. In particular, the denim skirt, which immediately brings to mind micro versions of Britney Spears or Jennifer Aniston, has made a Copernican revolution. In fact, this season is marked by chic and close-fitting models with important lengths, which flatter all heights from 1.50m to 1.80m and beyond.

The outfit with the long denim skirt: our advice before the #fitcheck
At the latest fashion weeks, long denim skirts caressed pristine catwalks that left the hems clean, with the exception of Balenciaga: in Paris, Demna had his models parade in the mud in an apocalyptic scenario, smearing his dark-finish denim skirts. At Burberry they paraded maxi skirts with very high waists, at MM6 Maison Margiela and torn GCDS; low-waisted with frills by Masha Popova, while Stefan Cooke debuted with genderless models worn with sweatshirts, sweaters and jackets.
