A jean skirt is a fun and fresh way to sport denim as temperatures start to rise. Annie Sheehan for Observer

While a dependable, flattering and versatile pair of jeans are known to be a crucial aspect of any capsule wardrobe, let's not forget about the other classic denim items that are just as key to any closet. A denim jacket is a go-to topper during the transitional months, and while jean shorts are a love or hate situation that continue to be a summer staple, there's also the oft-forgotten denim skirt.

There have been countless iterations of denim skirts over the years, from the flower child-esque jean skirts of the 1970s to the acid wash aesthetic of the 1980s. And let's not forget the infamous micro-minis of the early aughts, which were quickly followed by longer hemlines.
