Bella Hadid is reviving a 2000s staple.
Are You Ready for the Return of Long Denim Skirts?
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.
So, are you ready for the return of the long denim skirt, too? Or, like the trucker hat, will you be keeping this 2000s relic at the back of your closet? Hadid, at least, provides a chic new way to wear it. Maybe it’s your new fashion styling challenge for the fall. Below, shop 6 similar styles, should you dare.
