6 Anti-Denim Skirt Trends That Are Timeless, Elegant, and Beloved Everywhere

Though I love a classic denim skirt, there's something to be said for the vanguard of skirt trends that are as elegant as they are cool. Skirts always make a sophisticated statement, and my top six favorites are true classics for all occasions.

Silhouettes include A-line and pencil skirts, which are both aptly listed under timeless in the *fashion dictionary.* These opposing shapes are fashion-crowd favorites and maintain their supremacy, from the runways to our IG feeds. When it comes to fabrics, lace and sheer knitwear, satin, poplin, and leather reign supreme.

Ahead, shop the best of each category and prepare your wardrobe for years of sophisticated, non-denim skirting.

Slip Skirts

A slinky slip skirt comes with endless styling opportunities. Whether in an ageless neutral or a romantic print, this skirt will be your plus-one for years of work events, date nights, vacations, and then some.
