Y2K Plaid Patchwork Denim A Line Midi Skirt

A high-waisted blue denim A-line midi skirt with a red and white plaid panel sewn across the lower half, a raw frayed hem where the two fabrics meet, ruffled plaid trim running vertically down the front, small ribbon tie bows along the trim, gold-tone button detailing at the waist, and two front pockets. It's the kind of skirt you'd wear to a vintage market or a Sunday brunch with your mates. The upper half is clean blue denim and the lower half drops into a red plaid checker print, with the asymmetric cut sitting longer on one side than the other.

This skirt is easy to style because it already has a lot going on, so keeping the rest of your outfit simple works best. A fitted white baby tee tucked in at the front pairs well with it, or go for a cropped knit in red to pull out the plaid colouring. It's versatile enough to work with chunky Mary Janes, ballet flats, or even white trainers depending on the mood. The unique vertical ruffled trim running down the front with the ribbon bows is the detail that makes this skirt feel properly coquette and retro at the same time. Layering a thin long-sleeve top underneath keeps it wearable into cooler weather too. Finish it with simple gold jewellery to match the button hardware at the waist.

Designed to add to the outfit, it slots easily into a simple daily errand outfit and just as easily into a more thought out tailored weekend fit. It works with many outfits across loads of aesthetics, not just Y2K.
