I’ve been seeing the denim skort trend lately and I’m all for it. It’s a chic way of elevating a pair of denim shorts without having to think twice before bending down or crouching to pick up a toy your toddler dropped for the 237th time. The one I’ve been eyeing on is from Zara, pictured above.

Now let’s put together some outfits!

Here’s the thing – these looks are inspired by my own closet. I already own these pieces, not exactly the pieces I used to put together the outfits but similar that I can truly recreate these looks.

And these looks are geared towards the mamas who are 30++ and who literally feel like they cannot find anything to wear to look put together – just like me!

So here’s 5 effortless ways to wear and style a denim skort this summer!

1. Classic White Tee

The classic white tee will never not be a go-to item in my mama closet. Paired with a simple necklace and a pair of small hoop earrings, this look will be elevated immediately. I am a tote bag kinda mama (living in Hawai’i would do that to ya!) and a pair of espadrilles always make me feel “dressed up.”

2. Striped White & Blue Button Down Shirt

I love this next look. A striped white and blue button down shirt is a classic piece in anyone’s closet in my opinion. Half tucked-in, fully tucked-in, not tucked-in at all, buttoned up or not, this piece is so versatile. For this look in particular, I would front tuck-in to keep the look casual.

3. Crochet Top / Dressy Top

One of my favorite pieces in my closet is a crochet top I got from Gap. And I think it will pair perfectly with a denim skort. In this look, I opted for sandals and a crossbody bag – something I would wear when going to a brunch with my family or an ice cream date with my daughter. It’s also an effortless yet pulled together look for a day date with the hubby when the little one is at daycare.

4. Ribbed Tank Top

If there’s one key item in my closet that I have in several colors, it would be a ribbed tank top. I have it in black, white, gray, and brown – and looking to get more colors this summer. Target has the best one and it’s only $8! What a steal! This look is what I would wear when taking my toddler to the playground or at a kids event when I know I’ll have to walk – slash that – run around chasing a little wild child. Maybe I’ll take a backpack too instead of a tote bag. But I think this look will be worn many, many times this summer.

3. Knit Cardigan

My absolute favorite look with the denim skort! This outfit truly speaks my style – chic yet relaxed. I love wearing white pieces – even with a busy toddler. Have I had shoe marks on my clothes when I carry her? Yes! Have I had juice squirted on me or ice cream drips on my clothes? Of course! Never stopped me from wearing white. Now going back to this look, I often wear my knit cardigan with a tank top or a bralette especially if I don’t plan on taking it off. In this particular look, the knit cardigan is the outfit. I have my next look for my next grocery shopping trip!

Now, there’s a lot more you can match with a denim skort. Upgrade your boring denim shorts with this classic piece! If you’re not a fan of the skort, any of these looks can be worn with denim shorts or even a pair of your fave mom jeans. And these are seriously easy looks to put together when you just don’t have the time or even the energy.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Looking forward to connecting with you mamas and hearing about what y’all think of these looks.

You got this, mama!
