So I'm curious as to what religion the "Women of the denim skirt" belong to.  I often see them grocery shopping, usually in pairs and never with a man.  The uniform from the waist down is oddly the same for all:  long denim skirt and sensible tennis shoes.

I don't know,  but am more curious about the short denim skirts.

Do they have name tags? They may be Sister’s on a mission.

Baptist. They teach that women aren't supposed to wear the clothes of a man, hence denim skirt instead of jeans.

It all depends on how easily they come off.

Homeschoolers. Usually some variation of Christianity.

Around here they don’t seem to homeschool OR discipline their kids.

Usually Menonites, Apostolics, or Pentacostals around here. You also might notice they wear no jewelry or makeup and never cut their hair.

Not any of the 8 billion Baptist churches I’ve seen in NC.  Pretty sure it’s Pentecostal here.  I had a friend growing up that wore the denim skirt but I never asked her the deal on it.  She quit that shit when she got older.

That’s what I’ve always heard.  Used to see quite a few of them when I was a kid, but I can’t remember the last one I’ve seen.  I see more nuns nowadays compared to the Pentecostal women.

Pentecostals for sure. There were 4 in my highschool one year, 3 of the 4 came a back to school bonfire party at the farm and decided to ditch those silly assed skirts and comically long white t-shirts on and joined in on the festivities and jumped in the creek with some of us. These chicks were untouched and built like. I don't think they were suppose to do any of that

Did they have covers? Little white doilie lookin' things on the backs of their heads? Them's Mennonites around here.

Pentecostal as said before. The long hair being already mentioned. And no makeup, and not unpleasant to look at, usually.

Other denominations may be similar. Mennonite, etc

I attended a Pentecostal church as a kid, don't remember any ladies wearing denim skirts.  Attended an independent Baptist church with my ex wife, 80% of the women wore denim skirts.

Had a neighbor dressed that way. Whole family strictly religious. We lived out and one day I saw her in pants doing yard work, scandalous.
She didnt expect to be seen out where we lived.

You mean "sin sifters"  Mennonites and Brethren wear them here. I think Brethren is kinda like Amish or Mennonite Lite.

Funny thing about the Mennonites is their different levels of adherence to the doctrine (whatever that is).  Some would drive normal cars.  Others would drive cars, usually a Chevy Caprice, but they would paint all the chrome black.

And they're all named Yoder.

Yeah, it was Holiness in north Alabama when I was growing up. Not sure if they are Baptist, Pentecostal, or something else.  Never remember seeing any other denomination identifier on the church names.

They also did the speaking in tongues and snake handling thing.

Story from that area in 2013.

Pretty sure that pertains to the roles of men and women. The Baptists took it literally.

It's generally one of the various pentecostal denominations (United Pentecostal Holiness and also many smaller or more independent denominations, as well), but women in some holiness churches are required to wear non-sexualized feminine attire, as well.  There are a few independent baptist churches that teach that women should wear modest clothing and that women are not to wear men's clothing, so pants are pretty well out.  That is not a common baptist distinctive, though.  Mennonite, Amish, and Hutterites traditionally wore distinctive outfits, but some congregations have gone more modern, and dress more similar to what you're talking about.

For most, a dress is also acceptable, rather than just a skirt.  They also can't show cleavage or midriff, and must wear sleeves of some length.  The length of the skirt or dress is variable depending on denomination or congregation, with some requiring something much longer.  Cutting of hair is often discouraged or prohibited.

Men have a dress code, as well in a lot of those churches.  Long pants, sleeves of some length, no bare chest, etc. are often requirements.  Also, they generally require short hair.

I grew up baptist as well. None of the ones in my location do that, but then again they don’t promote home schooling either so the children actually get to lead normal lives and learn how to interact with society and people different than themselves.

Growing up in southern WV they were Church of God women.  So much so that I never even thought of them being anything else.

Denim skirt, long long hair, goes to church on Saturday instead of Sunday.

My uncle married one, she was a horrible woman.  Her daughter from a previous marriage had a baby with her drug dealer after said uncle and woman got divorced.  

Not a reflection on all of them though.  Her parents were married from youth until they died of old age.
