Madelyn Cline Just Wore the 2023 Trend That's Replacing Miniskirts

Fashion trends sometimes ebb and flow even quicker than we can track them, but there's no denying that long denim skirts are usurping minis right now. Just look at Madelyn Cline's most recent outfit or the slew of street style looks at this year's fashion weeks in Copenhagen and New York. Yes, I'm aware it's cold in both of those cities, but that has certainly never stopped the fashion set from wearing whatever they please!
Attending a Tommy Hilfiger dinner in NYC, our January cover star styled the trend with a couple of unfussy wardrobe basics. I adore how her outfit combines trendiness in the form of her denim maxi and pure, unadulterated timelessness via her white button-down shirt and matching pointy-toe pumps. Scroll down for outfit inspo and to shop the trend for yourself.
