Clever stylish people, can you find me the perfect denim skirt???

[IHeartKingThistle]

I had no idea it would be this difficult!

OK I would like a denim skirt for the summer, knee-length or thereabouts. I like the retro look of the button-through ones. I hate stiff denim or obvious bleached patches. I think a mid-shade would be best, don't mind light or dark but really don't like that very dark denim with contrastng stitching.

Any help gratefully appreciated - I am well out of practice at shopping!

Any joy in Gap?

I bought this bargain and love it

Surprisingly little in Gap - nothing with buttons.

I quite like that Next one wherecanIhide -how obvious are those bleachy bits on the sides?

M&S have a few.

It's weird but I had been looking for a denim skirt for a year or two - everyone seemed to stop making them. I kept thinking I could see them in shops only to find they were those denim short/culotte things.

I love denim skirts and am so glad they're back.

Not too bad. I don't like the bleachy bits either but happy with this skirt.

I prefered this one, but they never have my size on their website and it isn't in any of their shops www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33053&storeId=12552&productId=2414623&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208660&parent_categoryId=208600&pageSize=20

White stuff Havana Harbour skirt here. I only take mine off to sleep...

I'm quite impressed with the M and S selection actually! I like the last one best I think.

Hmm, actually it does have enormous faded patches.

Why does so much denim have these? I understand an overall faded or vintage look, but why two random pale patches on the thighs? I don't understand it!

Warehouse 1

Warehouse 2

Jaeger

Bought the one in White Stuff then half hour later so almost identical skirt (but a useful inch longer so just sits on knee) in Mantaray section @ debenhams but £15 cheaper. Needless to say returned White Stuff skirt

Love that Jaeger one! Never had anything from them, do you get what you pay for does anyone know?

I heart Jaeger. Everything I've had from there has been great.

But size down, their sizes are enormous.

Good to know. But they don't have it in the next size down! Well that's probably a sign from the shopping gods. Back to have a look at the M&S ones...
