#denimmidi #denimskirt #frenchchic
I go to a gospel hall where the women wear dresses/skirts only. Sunday mornings are quite dressy but evening gospel meetings and Bible studies are more casual. A denim skirt is a staple for me because of that. I love them!!! It looks great on you for sure.
I'm 60 and I always loved denim skirts. They keep coming back into fashion regularly. The reason why I like them is that depending on the shoes, top and jacket, you can appear casual, semi-casual, or even dressed up a bit. It is very versatile.
I appreciate your courage in showing us the frumpy options as well as the chic ones! I have to agree that the runners weren't a good look with your jean skirt, but you absolutely rocked it with your heeled boots, belt and the Chanel-style jacket. Smashing!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur
Bonjour Marie-Anne,
how true is this!!!
And it does not only work in the field of fashion...
Even in, for instance, language classes
students learn from negative examples, after my experience.
Good method!
And most of the time also entertaining... :-))
So happy you have added a demin skirt to your wardrobe. I wear mine all year round but have never been happy with my styling. From now on, whatever the season I will team it with something chic and not too casual. Thank you again Marie Ann. By the way I am in my seventies and dislike the idea of dressing either too frumpy or too young. Looking chic and elegante is a must at any age
Definitely the higher heel with the longer skirt! The lower heels, especially the sneakers, do look frumpy. What a difference!
I purchased a denim skirt for the first time in years last summer. It is shorter though, the hem just skims my knees, and I wear it with a slim-fit white t-shirt and a pair of cute floral print sneakers. I think the sneakers work because the skirt is just knee-length.
(Maybe I need the longer skirt for winter now! 😊)
Hi! Good to see you back. Hope you're doing better.🥰
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Rest well, and practice shalom.
I loved the 2 blazers. The one with the check pattern was especially pretty.
(I really enjoyed your short video a while ago, filmed in a wintery landscape and you wore a blazer with a check pattern. Wonderful!)
Thanks, Marie - Anne!
So interesting to see how the same outfit changes drastically with just a change of shoes. Marie-Anne, you are a fashion scientist!
For petites, this is where the "wear what's flattering over what is fashionable" comes in. I made my own jean skirt last year when they were all the rage out of an old pair of jeans I stole from my husband. I experimented with different lengths, but below the knee is what worked best in the end, as I thought. Proportion wise, it looks similar to a midi length on a taller woman. I have not thought of wearing my jean skirt at work and in the fall, but I will try it this fall, before it gets too cold to wear denim.
That mantra should be for all women 😃 that longer length will really help you as a Petite 👍
You brought back beautiful memories from guess who? Yes, granny Mary!
When the denim skirts were the trend back in the 80’s she said, “I will wear them my way not the trendy way. I’m not a fool fashion follower”
She made one in dark denim (she received “couture” lessons from a French lady when she was a teenager), pencil shaped and with the opening in one side not in the back as everyone was wearing.
To give it a more polished look, she added some pearl buttons above the side opening and everyone loved it.
So once again we see that the clue is adjust the trends to ourselves not the other way.
Great video! I’ve always been conflicted on denim skirts. I’ve tried them throughout the years, but struggled to make them work. I found it interesting that the more elevated pairings looked the best. You look great in everything but make a great point about the sneakers! That was a definite no even for you!
You did a great job making the denim skirt work. You could probably manage to look great wearing a potato sack too!! Thank You!!!!!!
Thanks Marie-Anne for taking the time to trial items that are not necessarily part of your own style repertoire and showing the mistakes not to make when styling them. I am not into denim skirts either but I must admit that the option with the plain black blazer was my favourite on you. It's nice to have you back on a new video, I hope your recovery is going well. Take care x
This was so much fun Marie Anne, thank you!! I thought my denim skirt days were over and oh, how I missed them. I had two in the early 70's - both midi, one straight like yours and one with a slight flare or pieced bias cut and buttons down the front. Also a mini skirt but I won't count that - it lasted only a year. The other two though were worn and loved for years - with either brown Frye boots or Mia clogs and tights, generally pullover turtleneck or scoop neck tops ( poor boy sweaters) & sometimes a vest. They left my closet because they had a young girl college look. They have been missed. Today you resurrected them in my mind and grew them up to have a place in a woman's closet. I'm going to look for a vintage one! Cheers & Happy New Year!
Oh, I am so glad that Marie-Anne has changed your outlook!!
(I am most definitely not a style expert, but I think this specific style of denim skirt would look beautiful on any age and any body type). ❤️
The only exception I see is if someone (for whatever reason) cannot wear heels. In that case, I think a shorter skirt would be more flattering and feminine. 🙂 If this person is not particularly crazy about their legs or knees, then I bet putting on a pair of opaque tights would solve the problem! 👍
I just got a denim midi skirt and never wear heels.
It will be sandals just now. trainers later and boots in the winter.
I love the skirt with all the jackets...and you are so right about footwear changing the look from frumpy to chic 🥰👏👏👏
Great video, Marie-Anne! I especially loved your leather trench coat over the outfit😍
Thank you Marie-Anne, I am quite fond of wearing my denim skirt, so now you have taught me to make it look stylish! Much better!
💙
I have always loved a denim skirt but they looked frumpy on me. Watching you helped me realize I was dressing it too casually. My favorite was the jacket. Thanks for a great lesson!
Now I know what to do with my denim skirt for the winter months. Thank you for these refreshing ideas, Marie-Anne! Thanks & Happy New Year!
Looks great on your Marie-Anne! I struggle with chic sometimes but was heartened to see that I wear my denim skirt correctly!
That denim skirt really suits you especially with boots and plaid jacket. Haven’t worn my denim skirt in ages, so will now start experimenting. Thanks for the tips
Bonjour Marie-Anne,
Wow! This video is a lesson in the power of accessories! Changing your footwear made such a huge difference and the high heeled boots were definitely the winner. Boots plus belt plus blazer added up to a chic and polished denim skirt look. I don't have one, but your tips would adapt to any midi skirt! Thank you!
Hello Marie Anne. I got ready to go out recently and something looked wrong. Then I remembered what you said about shoes and, of course, that was the problem. You are so right. I changed my shoes and everything looked better. Thank you.
Hi Marie-Anne Funny thing l purchased a skirt exactly the same. So glad l took the leap having fun with it. Hope you are well, have a great week ahead. Thank you for the informative video throughly enjoyed 😉
Toller Kanal, mit soviel Ideen. Gut das ich dich entdeckt habe.
I am upset that I got rid of my maxi denim skirt , I am learning to love my clothes , and not to always worry about trends . Thank you for explaining the frumpiness and elevated French chic .
You surprised me, Marie Anne. You have made me reconsider the denim midi!
Thank you Marie-Anne, I will dust off my denim skirt and style it following your advice. Bonne soirée!
Definitely, the boots look best with the skirt. And that long leather coat is divine!
😘
Fabulous Marie- Anne !
Thank you for this video . I am traditional too and and don’t like when the skirt is longer then the jacket .
Season for denim is officially open now 😉
Wow! You really made that denim skirt work! I wonder how it would look with the slit on the side?
Thank you, I really needed this inspiration for my denim skirt. Your leather trench coat is perfect!!
Perfect timing, I have just purchased a really lovely second-hand denim midi skirt from a highend brand in excellent condition. Some fabulous feminine options to now style it. I completely agree that shoes can make or break an outfit. Thank you 💐
Thank you so much Marie-Anne - omg, you're psychic! I literally have a new midi denim skirt coming tomorrow - it's a very new look for me too :-) However, I work in an (excessively?) casual workplace so I'm really gravitating towards "casual elevated" so that I can feel my best, but also not be over-the-top for my particular situation. You're really helped me out so much today as I've been wondering how I'll style it. I loved it with the heeled boots and patent belt and also with those gorgeous mary janes. I wouldn't have thought of trying them - was sure boots were my only option. I loved that leather trench too.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur It finally arrived, and I love it, but I only have flat riding style boots at present. For my workplace it will still be a lot dressier than most of my co-workers aspire to (I live in the birthplace of Lululemon so I'm sure you can imagine the general vibe here....). That said, I'm looking around for a pair of heels for a casual ++ look.
I love your videos Marie-Anne. You are so helpful and I have learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you Marie-Anne, I bought a midi denim skirt during winter and it has been so versatile. You’re so right, footwear is so so important especially for me as I’m only 5ft and I need to be careful otherwise I can look shorter and heavier. This video is awesome 🌹PS I finally added my photo, smiling at everyone 😃
Thank you so much for this very instructional video! It really opened my eyes about how shoes change the look.
I really love how you show multiple options and explain why they're better or worse AND you share people's Instagram pics to give us even more ideas and spread the love. I've grown to really love your channel!
that leather coat is just gorgeous Marie Anne!
I learn so much from your videos but watching you go through your thought process when styling an outfit is fun & very informative! Thank you!
Hello
I shy away from denim skirts because of the frumpy and ageing look it gives.
With the heeled boots you like pled stunning.
If I find one in a charity shop in my size I will give it a try.
That check jacket also looks amazing.
You have given that denim skirt hope 😂
Thank you xx
The heeled boots make an astounding difference! I recently purchased a denim skirt, almost identical to yours, paired with a black turtleneck cashmere sweater and tried on black riding boots…did not like one bit. The heels are the decisive difference! Thanks for this great video. I almost gave up on the skirt
@@MarieAnneLecoeur certainly will! On the lookout for a new pair. Have another question: I am a high contrast/winter palate. Love camel coats and blazers but think I will be washed out in that color. Do you agree?
I'd never wear a denim skirt but I have some midi corduroy skirts that I consider 'country casual' so your suggestions were helpful. My boots are flat or low heel or wedges so I draw the eye up with hat, scarf or necklace. I am tall and thin, so that helps a bit.
Great to see you back. Fantastic skirt on you & VERY informative video. Happy 2023
Marie-Anne, thank you so much for this video. For better or worse, the States tend to be much more casual. Denim skirts of all cuts and lengths have been popular here for decades. So I very much appreciate that you chose to stretch your own style sensibilities for your viewers. 🤗
I noticed that you took care to not make your outfits overly casual, and I was stunned to see how much better they looked as a result! I was shocked at how quickly it can become dowdy.
Thanks for showing us the "ouis" and the "nons" because it proves that developing a chic sense of style is a process. It also empowers me to believe that I can do it, too.
Sending you love. ❤️
Agree with your recommendations completely! Refreshing video.
Great video.. I agree the flat shoes are a no no… the blouse is a no no for me. I absolutely love the skirt with the various jackets and the long coat. They step up the outfit completely. Marie-Anne, the video really stresses how important one’s shoes are. Thanks as usual…and best wishes in 2023.
I am loving what you are wearing at the beginning and the final outfit with the plaid.
Love this video. I have a denim skirt in my closet and have been struggling to figure out how best to wear it. This video answers that question and then some. Brilliant!
Good evening Marie-Anne! You look great in your denim skirt with the boots and even the Mary Janes? Love your long brown coat and the plaid jacket! Thank you for styling the denim skirt! Happy New Year! 💕
The first heeled boots with no belt looked best xxxx
Yes! The blue-brown/plaid jacket and heeled boots looked awesome. I don’t wear a denim skirt because if all the “No” combos you found! I found those 2. Lol. Looks great on you! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Love your explanation of why some styles works and others don’t. Thanks for showing us what makes a denim skirt look elevated .
Thank you so, so much for this very informative video. I never really knew how to wear my denim skirt without looking too casual so it just sat in my closet. I will definitely be pulling it out now and trying your suggestions. 💕

Merci beaucoup Marie Anne for this video. I am thinking for a while about knee-length denim skirt, and you showed perfectly how to style. I am sick of wearing pants and jeans, so lately I am looking for dresses and skirts. Is hot summer in South Australia, so I would choose thinner denim and light colour, but the rules apply the same. No sneakers for sure. About flats - if skirt would be shorter and more fitted then nice sandals wouldn't hurt, but for more feminine, look at least 4cm heel could be great. To add some nice top or silk blouse, accessories and voilà.
Btw from your winter outfits I just adore black heel boots and Chanel style sparkly jacket. Très chic et élégant 🥰
Right. Time to buy a midi denim skirt. It looks fantastic! Thanks for the ideas.
Great video Marie-Anne! I'm so happy you added a denim skirt in your wardrobe! I love the look with heeled boots, with the jacket , fabulous!
Amazing how different the denim skirt looks in different outfits! Showing looks that work and don’t work us very helpful. I love the Chanel jacket! Definitely needs the heels. I’m only 5 feet tall, so you are right. I need to be careful with a skirt like that. Thank you!
NOW I have to look for my denim long skirt and try these things out. I'm sure that it's still "lurking" in the back of the closet -- somewheres...
Those were the times when we cut open an old denim trouser and sewed a denim skirt using the under leg part for wedges to close the gaps. I still got one..
My first choice with denim is a Chanel-style jacket. If I don't like it with the top then I wear something else, but they are my go-to, I have 3 in different colours.
I also have a lovely black Luisa Spagnoli blazer that I never wear even though the fit is lovely. Not sure why.
I enjoyed this one very much.
I'm so glad you did this video because I have just purchased a long denim skirt from Zara. It has a belt and side seams which means I can wear it casual or with boots. 🌹
I am a big fan of a denim skirt with boots and feel they are a great alternative to jeans. I like them in the summer with high sandals or espadrilles and a scooped neck t-shirt. It is casual, but I live in a town by the sea and next to the countryside. Most people do not dress up here. I think you got some great styling here and hope you enjoy your skirt.
The addition of the darkk blazer elevates the look.
I like my midi denim skirt with a shrunken blazer as it adds interest and structure. I wear it to teach class.
Only you could make a denim skirt chic👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Inspiring!
Bonsoir Marie-Anne, I’ve got a lovely denim midi skirt in my wardrobe but have never known what to wear with it! Loved your ideas, especially the black patent belt. x
Hi ladies please don't forget to like the video. Have a great week.
Thank you so much! I always wear long denim skirts!
Fun fun fun! I just bought myself a denim skirt with button split in front, under knee length. Because a denim skirt is a classic, smart, casual and great to walk the doggies or do shopping!
Lovely. I honestly love anything denim.
I love my midi denim skirt. Modest and feminine. Thankyou
This was fun to watch! I liked this type of video of constructing outfits & seeing the way it changes with changes in one piece.
This is the way how to get my 3 favourite topics in 1:FRANCE,ENGLISH AND THINGS AROUND FASHION 'COZ I USED TO MAKE DRESSES,SKIRTS,BLOUSES EVEN COATS WITH BURDA AND NEUE MODE. ALL THE BEST IN 2023
Glad to see you looking so well. It's nice to have you back!
Happy New Year Marie-Anne! Nice to see you again! I hadn't seen a video from you in awhile then a note on FB that you've been under the weather? Great video! I'm debating about getting a denim skirt either knee length or midi! Thank you for the styling tips!!
Salut Marie-Anne. J’adore ton style! La pièce de Luisa Spagnoli et le trench coat de Mango te vont formidablement! Greetings from Montreal ❤
As always, I enjoyed your latest video. I love the plaid jacket that pulls the blue from the denim! I recently purchased my first denim skirt in many years. I went with a dark blue, knee-length. Like you, I struggled with the midi length. I found my silk blouses work best with my skirt, with a sweater tied over my shoulders. I have block-heeled 2" Mary Janes and 1.5" chunky loafers that work with the shorter length. I think a nice handbag is crucial with mine. Thank you for showing something so challenging to style!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Have you tried that LilySilk navy vest with the skirt? I may try it with my skirt.
I am so happy to see you again. I missed you. I did watch your little shorts and enjoyed them immensely. But I love seeing a full video. I have worn jean skirt since I was probably 10 years old. I have always loved them. Thank you for some new wonderful ideas on how to wear them. Back in the day when I was a lot younger I wore the mini skirts but now I do like the longer ones. Lol. Thank you. BTW: You look wonderful in your first jean skirt. ❤
@@MarieAnneLecoeur I am sorry you were ill my prayers are with you. ❤
You really can put things together and make them elegant! I will follow you forever!
Love the high heel boots, turtleneck m the blazer, Chanel coat the best. So happy to see you up and running again ❤❤❤❤
Finally, a beautiful, and fashionable way to wear Maryjanes. I don't like them! But, with opaque stockings, they really do chick. Thank you so much for styling this skirt. I have one, and you've just given me more ideas on how to styling them. Je vous apprécie.
Well now you have me thinking. I’m still not sure I’ll be doing the denim skirt, but if I do, I’m styling it your way. I think your choices were spot on.
Nice to see you back!
Not the most flattering kind of skirt, even though you are both slim and tall. But it was brave and interesting because I've always wondered, considering that I like denim...
Front splits are always a “non” from me
I've had two dark denim midi / pencil skirts for ages and love their versatility, however I tend to keep them casual. My black leather biker jacket looks good with them. Loved the elevating black blazer with the skirt and will be trying that now! 👌
Frump City! I love it. Definitely don’t want to end up there! 😂
I love this video! I have quite a few denim skirts, but now I'm nearly sixty I didn't know how to stile them. Now I know! Thank you!!
Great video Marie-Anne, one of the best i've ever seen because we can see not only what is beautiful but also what is not!! I would like more videos like that, please. Makes me understand more...
The right shoes for a skirt or dress is also very important. I love your blasers!! Mostly the last one!!
Your choice of outfits were right on the money! Love your channel !
I love the Jean skirt on you!!
That shot if before I'd finished!! My favourites are 1 and 2. But naybe not for over 70's I do wear blue denim jeans though with sweaters love it.xx
Thank you for this, denim skirts have long been a favourite of mine. After watching your video, I found one on eBay which is absolutely perfect. I already have a grey and a navy turtleneck, so I'm looking forward to trying these looks. xx Pauline
Best video you ever done!
I love your denim skirt and keep on wearing it also, have a great week
Nice to have you back❤ you look so good in denim skirt. Denim skirt have never worked for me. Maybe it’s time to try again 🙈
Hey French Girl😊 I Love the Combo with the leather coat from Mango. I Like the leather structure and IT does Look edgy to me with the more Casual Maxi Denim skirt that I own right now a good bargain. Ilove IT. Moreover the Blazer IS definetely your Favorite one. IT dies Look very formal to me but IT IS an inspiring Idea to be formal and elegant and a Kind of effortless at the Same time. Looking Forward to watching and listening more of your content. Take Care, Helen
Bonjour Helen 👋 and a Big French Chic Welcome to you 😘
Amazing love it. Thanks for the ideas ❤❤❤
I agree with your “wows” and “nons”. I’m wondering, however, if the skirt were styled for summer whether some of the looks would work better. For example, instead of a heavy black turtleneck and black boots, a light/white breezy blouse worn alone or as a coverup, along with flats or white sneakers, would add a vibe that is casual yet fresh. My humble opinion!
I have been so afraid of denim skirts as I could go Frumpy so fast but man you look amazing!!!!!
Chokma Marie-Anne Lecoeur! 🤩 I gave you a shout out in my newest Chickasaw Classes TH-cam video at about the 5:15 minute mark. I wore my colorful sneakers to an art show. Styling my blue jeans. 😅 By the way, I love your white bell sleeve sweater in this video! ❤❤❤ I’m in the market for new sweaters. The looks you created with the blazers definitely worked. 👍🏼😁
