Are You Ready for the Return of Long Denim Skirts?

Bella Hadid is reviving a 2000s staple.

Love it or loathe it, 2000s fashion is back—including Juicy Couture sweatsuits, trucker hats, and bootcut jeans. Bella Hadid has just revived another tricky trend from the aughts: the long, denim skirt. We’re talking about fully-covered, below-the-knee jean action. Think less Christina Aguilera’s Dirrty-era, more Britney at the 2000 MTV VMAs.

Yesterday in New York City, Hadid emerged wearing her new take on the iconic 2000s staple. Her skirt had a few patchwork elements and a khaki, studded trim. It instantly reminded me of the styles worn by Mandy Moore, Eve, and Christina Aguilera back in the ’00s—though Hadid’s styling made it a little more modern. She offset the heaviness of the skirt with a breezy, tight tank top, and tiny shoulder bag. Her calf-length biker boots also played up the utilitarian feel of her skirt and lent it a cool, sleek finish.
