About Those High-Waisted Denim Skirts

So last week in our comments we received the following inquiry:

Myself and at least another 2 of your readers (my roommates!) are going crazy trying to find high-waisted denim skirts (not minis) with pencil and circle skirts.

Help! We can't find any that are affordable (i.e. under $200) and really great looking!

Let us know!

Dear Daniela,

We can understand why you're looking for high-waisted denim skirts. If you check The Sartorialist as often as we do, you might have noticed that like every third picture the woman is wearing a high-waisted pencil skirt, and just last week there was this:

And we can also understand why you're having trouble finding them, so did we! We don't know about you, but we didn't have the time to check every shop in our guide one by one to see what they have. So we quickly built the Jargol shopping guide inventory search. In the top left of the front page you'll notice a "Find Products" search box. Just type in what you're looking for and this searches the sites of all the shops in our guide that have online shopping.

We typed in "denim skirt" and on the second page of the results this came up at La Garconne:

It's an A-line wrap skirt, it's $150, it's high waisted and it's from Rag & Bone, who know how to do good denim.

In looking through La Garconne's site we also came upon a high-waisted skirt from Phillip Lim. It's chambray not denim and is over your budget but we quite liked it so we thought we'd mention it in passing.

Unfortunately that's all we could dig up from the stores in our guide. Everyone is in that summer/fall transition stage right now so there's just not much available but we're betting if you check the product search in a month or so you'll have more luck.

Going away from our guide, something told us to check Yoox.com. We seemed to remember them having lots of denim skirts. We found 3 possibilities. Each is a high-waisted denim pencil skirt, each is on sale and each is available in exactly one size.

There's this from Christina Santandrea for $84 in size 4:

We don't know what that gold thing is on the side but we're hoping it has nothing to do with the skirt.

And this from Dolce & Gabanna for $85 in size 8:

Don't worry, we checked and we couldn't find any hint of sequins or sparkles or pleather on the thing, as those crazy Italian are prone to do.

And this from Diane von Furstenburg for $134 in size 6:

We hope this helps and like we said check the product search in a month or so and you might have better luck.

Love, Jargol

P.S.: If any readers have any ideas/suggestions, please don't hesitate to put them in the comments!
