7 Days in Denim Isabela’s Week of Skirt Staples
Denim skirts have been wardrobe staples since the era of corded house phones and butterfly clips. Now, thanks to their seasonless charm and unexpected versatility, they’re staging a stylish comeback. This week, Isabela challenged herself to wear a denim skirt for seven days straight. From braving a work meeting to grocery store sprints, she explored just how far this classic piece could stretch.
Here’s how it all stitched together.
Day 1: Monday Minimalism
Isabela kicked off her week with a clean, understated look. She paired a mid-rise, knee-length medium wash denim skirt with a white boxy tee tucked in just enough to look intentional, not fussy. White low-top sneakers kept the confident-casual vibe going strong.
- Top: Crisp white tee
- Footwear: White sneakers
- Accessories: Tiny gold hoops, slouchy canvas tote
This look was practically made for iced coffee runs and inbox triage.
Day 2: Tuesday Texture Play
Tuesday called for texture. Enter the dusty blush ribbed mock-neck tank and Isabela’s high-waisted distressed mini skirt. She tossed on a lightweight cream cardigan tied nonchalantly at the waist—sunshine optional, layering vibes required.
- Top: Ribbed tank in muted blush
- Skirt: Light-wash distressed mini
- Footwear: Tan ankle boots
This outfit balanced flirty softness with just a dash of edge, ideal for post-work patio drinks.
Day 3: Work-Ready but Not Boring
Midweek and meetings loom—but Isabela doesn’t do dull. She opted for a black button-front midi denim skirt, styled with a tucked-in pastel blue blouse. The structured shirt softened by balloon sleeves made her feel put together without being too boardroom-brisk.
- Top: Powder blue long-sleeve blouse
- Skirt: Black denim midi
- Footwear: Pointed loafers in soft gray
The verdict? Professional, polished, and still undeniably Jemma.
Day 4: Laidback Layers
Thursday’s forecast said “muggy with a side of unpredictable,” so Isabela grabbed her tried-and-true light denim A-line skirt and layered up. A classic crop cami in ivory sat underneath an oversized oatmeal cardigan—perfect for fending off aggressive AC.
- Top: Ivory ribbed crop cami
- Layers: Oversized neutral cardigan
- Footwear: Slide sandals
- Accessories: Mini pendant necklace, oversized sunglasses
A comfort-first outfit that still felt chic enough for bumping into that one coworker who always looks fabulous… at the grocery store.
Day 5: Friday Boldness
Friday demanded pop. Isabela reached for her statement sunset-red boxy tee and let it breathe against a classic high-waisted medium wash skirt. She cinched the waist with a wide black belt for contrast and added black combat boots to tilt the look from casual to cool.
- Top: Bright red oversized tee
- Skirt: Medium wash high-rise midi
- Footwear: Chunky black boots
- Accessories: Wide belt, layered silver rings
A look that practically screams “booked and busy,” even if she was just heading to trivia night at the pub.
Day 6: Saturday in the City
Weekend energy. Isabela went full “errands but cute” with a faded black frayed-hem skirt and a dove gray oversized sweatshirt. She half-tucked the front and finished the look with classic retro sneakers and a baseball cap. Urban athleisure, leveled up with denim.
- Top: Oversized gray sweatshirt
- Skirt: Black frayed mini denim skirt
- Footwear: Retro trainers
- Accessories: Baseball cap, crossbody bag
Ideal for wandering bookstores and treating yourself to an overpriced matcha.
Day 7: Sunday Softness
By Sunday, Isabela was all about cozy femininity. She wore a light blue chambray-style denim skirt with raw edges, paired beautifully with a tucked-in cream lace-trimmed cami. A straw tote and tan strappy sandals completed the garden-party-worthy look.
- Top: Cream lace-trim cami
- Skirt: Pale wash denim with raw hem
- Footwear: Neutral strappy sandals
- Accessories: Straw tote, simple studs
Delicate but unfussy—a snapshot of just how dreamy Sundays should be.
