Denim Cutoffs Used to Be Everywhere—Now, Fashion People Wear This Instead

May 28, 2026 / Swedan Margen /

I don’t know why I feel the need to write a disclaimer for these types of articles, but I’m giving you one anyway: You don’t need to get rid of your favorite tried-and-true denim cutoffs. Those worn-in shorts that you packed for spring break in Cabo and your bestie’s bachelorette party in Austin still deserve a spot in your dresser, but if you’re looking for a more elevated alternative, you’ve come to the right place.

Lately, I’ve been noticing a lot of stylish women wear a specific skirt trend that used to be relegated to the beach: mini wrap skirts. Now, fashion people like Dua Lipa are wearing this sarong-like style with heels, even if there’s no sand or sea in sight. While promoting her skincare brand in Paris, for example, Lipa wore a sequin Isabel Marant skirt wrapped around a minidress by the same brand. She accessorized with Jimmy Choo Minny Sandals and a Ferragamo Gancini Feather-Trimmed Leather Shoulder Bag ($2160). Scroll down to see her newest outfit and shop the trend for yourself.
