Denim skirt with black tights, sneakers, sweater. What is fashionable to wear with

A truly versatile piece of women's wardrobe - denim skirts. They come in many styles and colors and go well with black or even colored tights, formal blazers and open tops. Thanks to this, they can be worn in the office, and at a party, and for a walk and always be in trend.

A bit of history

Denim has long been associated with hard work and hardship. Initially, the name of the material meant hemp canvas and it came from the city of Genoa, famous for its navigators, their geographical discoveries and dangerous sea expeditions.

One of the most famous Genoese was Columbus, who discovered America, which is associated with the appearance of coarse work trousers made of durable fabric, once used for sails.

Jeans have been the clothing of prospectors, cowboys and laborers for decades. They had to be strong and durable. Their inventor, Levi Strauss, depicted horses pulling jeans in different directions on the brand label.

Only in the 30s. XX century jeans have moved from the screens, where they were worn by the heroes of Westerns, into the everyday wardrobe.

During World War II, they were first worn by women who replaced men in American factories and factories. In the 50s. jeans became part of a glamorous, elegant wardrobe when Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn appeared in public in denim capri pants.

Unlike denim pants, denim skirts have never been part of work wear. Their appearance is associated with the hippie movement. Its representatives wore not only colorful floor-length skirts and acid shirts, but also frayed denim vests and bell-bottomed jeans that swept the ground with their trousers.

Hippies were famous for their love of second-hand clothes and hand-made items. As a result, the torn jeans of the hippie girls were altered into skirts. And then, in the 60s, the invention of the mini-skirt by the British fashion designer Mary Quant became a real breakthrough. However, it took more than one decade for an element of the street wardrobe of the "flower children" to become part of a business or glamorous style.

Model Description

Now women have a large selection of styles and colors of denim skirts. Among this variety, you can find a suitable option for any age, body size and style.

To make it easier to understand the styles of denim skirts, they should be divided into specific categories (often the same skirt corresponds to several categories, and the categories themselves overlap):

• by lenght;

• by silhouette (straight, flared, with wedges);
• by the type of cut (pencil, bell, sun skirt, bell bottom, pleated, trouser skirt, trapeze).

Also popular are skirts with a yoke, a peplum, a high waist, a slit, and a wrap. When choosing a denim skirt, it is necessary to take into account not only the type of figure, but also the age, style and color of the skirt. However, some models are considered universal, as they suit any type of figure.

Pencil

It is no coincidence that the skirt belongs to the basic wardrobe items. It visually lengthens the legs and fits perfectly into the most strict business style.For women with an inverted triangle and rectangle body type, it is better to wear it with a peplum, so it will allow you to create a line of the waist.

Owners of not the most beautiful legs (too full or too thin) should give preference to a length slightly above the knee, so as not to draw too much attention to the shortcomings of the figure.

Even large girls can wear a pencil skirt, but the length should be chosen at knee level. This style is appropriate to combine with a classic blouse, top with a jacket. And for a relaxed casual style, you can wear it with a biker jacket or a bright, oversized sweater.

With wedges

The model will allow you to add the missing volume in the hips to the "apple" and "inverted triangle" figure and emphasize the dignity of the "pear" and "hourglass" figures. For the last two types, a skirt with a length below the knee with gussets starting below mid-thigh (“year”) is suitable. The blade looks great in combination with a silk blouse or a thin turtleneck.

A-silhouette

The skirt also suits all body types, but "apples" and "pears" should choose options above the knee, and "hourglass" - with a length to mid-thighs. You can wear it with tops, T-shirts, thin turtlenecks and high-heeled shoes.

Pleated

Accentuates the waist, enhances or accentuates the hips. It is suitable for all sizes, you just need to choose the right length. It can be worn with sweaters, crop tops, tank tops, blouses and blazers.

With smell

A skirt with a length just above the knee is considered universal, but girls with lush curves should not draw attention to them with their pockets, but for slender women of fashion, pockets will be a great way to give seductive curves to the silhouette.

It can be combined with tight tops (T-shirts and tops with shoulder straps), classic lightweight blouses and thin pullovers, as well as platform shoes or heels.

Bell

Denim skirt with black tights looks especially impressive when it comes to the "bell" style. In shape, it resembles an upside-down glass. Such a skirt is usually made from hard fabrics, including denim. It masks well both overly full (like in a “pear” figure) and overly narrow hips (“like in an inverted triangle”).

In the first case, preference should be given to knee-length or slightly higher skirts. It will not help slender thin girls to emphasize their legs, and the more beautiful the legs, the shorter the bell skirt can be. This style is very dressed up in itself, so you should not wear too elaborate top with it. You can choose the same garments as with the wrap skirt.

Flare

The skirt can be called conditionally universal. It allows you to visually lengthen your legs. It is very important to choose the right length. There is a general rule: the lower the flare line begins, the more slender the legs seem.

It suits slim, thin or tall girls very much and helps to align the silhouette of girls with an inverted triangle figure.

With the "pear" figure, it is worth giving preference to skirts slightly below the knee, but the "apple" figure or short girls are better off abandoning this style. The flared skirt is combined with a tight-fitting and a free top.

High-waisted

Skirts were popular in the 80s. XX century Now the fashion for her is back. Its main advantage is that it lengthens the legs, adds femininity to the silhouette. It is suitable for almost all women, except for the "apple" type, as it focuses all attention on the most problematic area for them - the waist. The more details and decorative elements on the skirt, the simpler the top should be, and vice versa.

Combination with black tights

In combination with matching shoes, black tights greatly lengthen the legs and stretch the silhouette. However, it is important to choose black tights very carefully to match the style and shade of denim, and also take into account the style and type of figure. Otherwise, the image will turn out tasteless.

Black tights are not worn in the summer (sometimes the most transparent options are allowed) and are never combined with light-colored shoes, light-colored clothing (for example, white denim). Although in glossy magazines you can often see peach, apricot or other pastel colors of suits and skirts in this combination. The work of the stylist and his ability to choose accessories and shoes are very important here.

The range of black tights is quite large:

• dense tights (50-200 den);
• transparent;
• patterned;
• with a stocking effect;
• in a mesh.

Thick tights are an option for cold weather, demi-season or winter. Only matte tights visually slim the legs. Any shine will indicate all the imperfections of the legs. An important nuance: the darker the material of the skirt, the denser the tights should be.

Thick dark tights are perfect for office style. They are indispensable for a navy or black denim pencil skirt or straight cut.

Sheer tights can be worn by young girls with mini skirts. They are appropriate with light blue denim. This combination is suitable for warm spring and autumn. Black nylon is also suitable for a business suit, as it looks less formal than tight tights. In this case, the skirt should be of medium length.

It is strictly forbidden to wear patterned or mesh tights to the office, even if there is no dress code at work. This is such a catchy piece of clothing that the rest of the wardrobe should be as laconic as possible. Patterned tights are suitable only for owners of long and very slender legs, because due to the specific texture and the presence of a pattern, they visually distort their shape.

A big plus of black tights is that they can be combined with colored denim - the fashion trend of this season.

Jeans can be either the brightest shades (lilac, red, turquoise, yellow, smoky berry), or calmer (for example, gray or khaki). They can all be paired with a variety of black tights, even sheer polka dot tights. Even the most defiant types of black tights can be balanced with plain skirts and blouses.

For example, a leopard print can be paired with navy, gray, or black denim miniskirts and a solid color blouse. Denim skirt with black tights is absolutely not combined with open shoes. Such tights in combination with sandals or sandals look ugly.

With sneakers and sneakers

10 years ago, there was a categorical taboo on wearing sneakers or sneakers with any style of clothing except sportswear. Now they are worn not only with clothing of youth or street style, but also business.

White sneakers

This is the best option for combination with a denim skirt. It is suitable even for the office. As part of the smart-casual style, it can be complemented with a classic blouse or a white or blue shirt and a dark denim pencil skirt.

White sneakers and a pencil skirt can be paired with a plain or striped tee. If you complement the outfit with a strict jacket, then this option is suitable for the office. For a more relaxed, soft and cozy look, a pencil skirt or straight skirt of any length and white sneakers can be worn with a pullover or oversized sweatshirt.

Black sneakers

Black sneakers with high white soles are trendy this season. They are suitable for youth style and are combined with black tights and a variety of denim skirts.

Colored sneakers

A denim skirt with black tights looks good when paired with colored sneakers. It is important that the color of sports shoes matches the color of some accessory or item of clothing (belt, print on a T-shirt or bracelets). Then the image will turn out to be harmonious and consistent.
