Rita Ora Isn't Wearing Your Average Denim Skirt

I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again, and again), denim will never go out of style—mainly becaise there's never a shortage of new kinds.
Which brings us to Rita Ora in this edgy Death by Dolls skirt.

You're used to keeping lace-up details on top (in T-shirt form, on bodysuits, etc.) and even your footwear, so why not try it on the bottom? This fresh way to wear criss-crossed style is something to pay attention to (think: it'll add instant cool-girl factor to any outfit).

One thing to keep in mind is because of the skirt's sultry nature (and skin-baring ways), you may want to keep what's up top a little more on the reserved side. Throw on a fitted, long-sleeved shirt for a complete day-to-nighttime look.
If you're feeling the occasion calls for a dressier vibe, wear heels like Rita! But if it's more of a casual thing the denim staple will be perfect with your go-to sneakers.
