It’s not quite fall as yet, but our sights can’t stop gravitating toward autumnal styles . . . and apparently, cool fashion girls aren’t resisting either. The latest trend we’re seeing on NYC streets? Long jean skirts. They’re already everywhere with ‘It’ girls and A-listers like Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lopez all stunning in the style.

We’re ready to channel the chic denim trend that goes with pretty much everything in your closet, and these 15 options are top of our list. Instead of short minis that can veer too young, we’re noticing that the longer the hem, the cooler the ‘fit. Our favorite finds feature denim maxis, knee-length options and loose midis that deliver the celeb-approved trend with a comfortable twist. Psst, we also love that you can wear these long jean skirts now and straight through fall, giving you more bang for your buck. Check out some of the most elevated styles from Free People, Levi’s, Abercrombie & Fitch, Madewell, Quince and more, starting at $27.

15 Trendy Long Denim Skirts That You’ll Wear Constantly

1. Our Favorite: Pencil skirts are usually for the office, but not this adorable denim style! It has a casual vibe due to the medium blue wash, knee-length hem and conservative front slit. We can totally see this style worn with cowboy boots, sneakers or kitten heels.

2. Runner-Up: Amazon did Us a solid with this flattering midi skirt that has a flared silhouette to make your waist look snatched. We’re also big fans of the exposed stitching and button-front details.

3. Celeb-Approved: Doesn’t this ruffle midi skirt look just like a designer style Lopez wore? We sure think so! It has the same wash, billowy fit and tiered details that has Us doing a double take.

4. Year-Round Staple: You can’t go wrong with a denim skirt from Levi’s, and this simple pick is proof. Between the loose, comfortable fit and high-rise waist, we just might wear this fit-and-flare find every week until November.

5. Laid-Back Luxe: If fall makes you think about school, we’re right there with you. This long denim skirt gives off ‘teacher’ vibes, especially with the utility pockets and brown buckle belt. Psst, it comes in eight other colors.

6. Instant Upgrade: Your classic denim skirt is getting a big update, and it’s all thanks to a scalloped trim. The wavy hem gives this button-down skirt something extra, and will probably earn you tons of compliments.

7. Boho Babe: Free People knows how to make a brand new denim skirt look like a vintage piece. Exhibit A? The Suzy Raw Hem Denim Midi. The lived-in wash appearance and comfortably soft texture truly set it apart.

8. Coastal Chic: The light blue wash and breezy silhouette make this denim piece look like something hanging in a Hamptons boutique. In addition to the beachy appearance, we’re equally thrilled about the wrap design that cinches at the waist for a slimming look.

9. Quite the Charmer: While this Vince Camuto skirt is generally simple, we adore the little fringe detail near the hem that gives it a little extra je ne sais quoi.

10. Must-Try: Collegiate styles are back in fashion, and this Madewell mini skirt totally fits the bill. The moody dark wash and pleated design feels so ‘Ivy League.’ And don’t be afraid of this mini; it’s not as short as your old ones from college; however, the elongating style still shows off a bit of leg.

11. Slimming Staple: You may have heard that drop-waist dresses are huge right now — well, meet the skirt version with this Topshop find. The drop-waist hem has slimming vertical stitching that draws the eye down to make you appear longer and leaner.

12. Editor-Loved: Abercrombie & Fitch is the spot fashion lovers source their denim, including this shopping editor who has this exact jean midi skirt. It sits nicely on the hips, has a fun stitch pattern and a front slit that shows off the legs.

13. Total Reset: Made with a blend of linen and cotton, this comfortable flared midi is just what you’ll want for all-day wear. Not only is it breathable and soft, but the skirt is also extra flattering due to the A-line silhouette.

14. Soft Statement: Give your blue denim a break with this white midi skirt from Quince. It feels polished, put together and classy, which is why we can see this pick worn for farmers’ markets, date nights and beyond.

15. Coffee Run Cutie: Looking for something to throw on for quick errands or coffee breaks? Go with this Free People pick that’s light, airy and so cute. We love the pintuck details that make it stand out in a crowd.
