The denim days of summer are almost upon us, and no other piece is as versatile as a denim skirt. Dress it down with a T-shirt and flats for barbecues, brunches or another leisurely activity, or dress it up and wear it out at night with heels and a blouse. You can even throw it over your swimsuit after a day at the beach instead of your cutoffs — the options are endless!
