How to Style a Slip Skirt？

If you think that there is only the maxi skirt on the fashion scene this season, that's not the case at all. The floor length tops the list of the main summer trends, but in it, you can find many stylish alternatives that will be even more comfortable to wear. We are talking about the main hit of the 90's - the slip skirt. The flowing midi made of silk with a fit on the hips was then worn by supermodels and fashionable heroines of favorite TV series - for example, Rachel Green in the cult Friends.

Today's popularity of the slip skirt is so great that it's hard to believe, and even seems a little funny, but once dresses and combinations were not the main elements of the closet at all. Rather, they were intended to be worn as underwear, so transparent dresses were not so frank. As for today, you probably can't imagine hiding this stylish item under any clothes.

Like many other trends of that time, the skirt combo has returned to the fashion arena, but with slight changes. Even six years ago, the trend was new, and dresses became an element of exclusively lingerie style. Today, however, this thing has firmly entered the basic closets of fashionistas, and in 2024 it is relevant in a variety of cuts - from a close-fitting mini to a free straight maxi. We tell you what things to choose and what to wear every day.

To make the slip skirt become a “universal soldier” in your closet, it is worth considering several nuances. First of all, this is the cut, fabric, and detailing. Equally important is the question of stylization and completion, about which we will talk a little later.

*️⃣The cut of the skirt
To choose a slip skirt for your type of figure, the most important thing is to choose the right cut of the product for you. Such skirts are always cut obliquely. Therefore, they are very plastic and fluid. And very well sit on bendy female figures and girls plus size. It's a sin not to take advantage of it.

Maximum universal will be simple slip skirts with tapered, straight, or slightly flared silhouettes. With a straight hem without cuts, draping, and asymmetry. Tapered skirts on the figure will adorn only slender girls. A straight skirt is ideal for a straight type of figure with relatively slender hips and legs.

Skirt A-silhouette with a delicate expansion of the bottom is the most universal. It will suit almost all types of figures. But the most optimal solution will be for girls with lush hips and steep feminine curves. In this case, the expansion should be very slight, slightly noticeable. This is important. The wider the skirt and the denser the material, the higher the risk of visually increasing the hips. This is not what everyone wants.

Non-basic satin skirts of a more complex cut are less versatile in terms of creating different looks. Slits, draperies, asymmetry, uneven hem significantly complicate the stylization of this skirt. But you should not completely exclude them. At least because they are usually very slimming and pull out the silhouette, look interesting and non-trivial.

*️⃣Skirt length
The midi length is a classic of the genre. The maxi slip skirt is not so practical, although it looks incredibly beautiful. Shortened satin skirts I advise you to avoid. They don't look as good in mini length. In general, as well as in knee length or even a little lower.

*️⃣Fit
It is important that such a skirt should not tighten you. This style does not provide this. It should sit on the figure freely. Otherwise, all the nuances of the figure and physiology, underwear, and tights will be visible. And this looks very bad and has nothing to do with style.

So, in the recent fashion seasons, which slip skirt is a fail-safe choice, and what are the most popular styles? Yes, leopard fever will not leave us alone for at least a couple of seasons, so if you still haven't managed to get a single piece with this print, it's time to correct this misunderstanding. And we suggest you pay attention to a linen-style skirt.

This purchase will be an ideal investment for fans of different styles, from casual to Parisian chic. For a weekday look, complement the skirt with a white T-shirt with a discreet print, classic white sneakers, and a voluminous cropped sheepskin coat.

If you are more inclined to the “new” fashion classics, but at the same time you are ready for reasonable fashion experiments, get a slip skirt in a beige color.

Wear it in a nude total look to official meetings and serious events, and for more democratic outings complement it with a sweater in tone, a bright trench or leather coat, and plaid boots.

It is not difficult to guess that the slip skirt is a “relative” of the slip dress, which means that it is also universal and will look appropriate in any situation. The most classic option is a basic satin model with a knee-length or slightly lower. Such a skirt can be worn to the office, on a walk, on a date, and even on the beach. Everything will depend solely on the “top” and shoes, which you will pick up to it - and here the choice is just limitless. From alcoholic shirts to romantic blouses, from stiletto sandals to textile sneakers, this skirt will go with everything.

T-shirt with a slip skirt
T-shirts are easy, whether it's a basic t-shirt, a brightly colored print, or an old-school t-shirt. A voluminous T-shirt can't always be tucked nicely into a skirt. But it can always be knotted at the waist, partially tucked in, or worn loose. As an option, shorten the compact T-shirt length to the waist or a little below. A compact tight top in a set with a linen-style skirt makes the image maximally sexy and attractive. The only condition - high demands on the figure and body quality.

With a zip-up hoodie
Zip-up is a hoodie with a zipper, replacing the basic models. For an elegant slip skirt, it is worth picking up a voluminous model - here it all lies in the eclectic contrast of styles. Shoes, by the way, can be anything from deliberately ugly sneakers to delicate sandals.

With a hoodie or sweatshirt
Another variation of the image from the previous paragraph, but more familiar to us. The silhouette will turn out shapeless, but this is what you need. It is not always important to emphasize the waist, so tucking the sweatshirt into the belt at the waist is not worth it - choose a longer model and leave it as it is.

With sweaters
Slip skirts never go out of fashion. Not for nothing such models have taken a firm place in the basic closet. A simple cut and the absence of small details make such a dress very versatile. The minimalistic design allows you to combine it with literally everything in your closet. In the cold season, it is worth trying an outfit with a voluminous sweater. The model of large knitting will make the outfit cozy and add texture and volume to it. You can emphasize the waistline with a leather belt or chain.

The shirt is a perfect match
A silk midi-length skirt is a masthead for the beginning of fall. Due to its simple cut and flying fabric, it will add a bit of romance to the image. A linen-style skirt will look cool with a loose-fitting shirt. This is one of the most popular techniques of modern fashion influencers.

Here everything depends more on the shirt itself. It can be thrown on as a second layer and does not fasten, you can wear it on the dissolution, you can tie a knot at the waist, and if it turns out tuck in a skirt with a small overhang. Variants of stylization with a shirt is a sea. The best option for a stylish outfit - a shirt made of dense polyester and cotton, which always holds its shape. Such a model can be worn as an independent element of the image, or open, over a T-shirt or T-shirt, instead of a jacket or cardigan.

Light satin or silk blouses and linen-style tops fall into the authentic style of the satin skirt. It remains to add delicate feminine accessories and shoes. An elegant stylistically complete image is ready.

Jacket with a slip skirt
A jacket, tuxedo, blazer, or suit jacket in combination with a satin skirt looks amazing. This is already a stable closet formula, which has been actively used by fashionistas for many years. It looks incredibly feminine. As a bottom layer, a top, tank top, T-shirt, T-shirt, or underwear. But in 2024 it is especially relevant to wear huge shapeless jackets with mini combinations. The most important thing is the length: the dress should be shorter than the jacket. High boots or loafers with long contrasting socks will do.

This is the basic model of the skirt, and it implies a wide possibility for the selection of shoes. Feminine sandals, mules, or elegant shoes will suit 100 percent, as they fall into the authentic style of the skirt.

But modern fashion allows you to play on contrasts. Therefore, it is easy to add any sporty or brutal shoes. In this case, it is still better to stylistically support the choice of shoes with a top, bag, or outerwear. If you add heavier footwear to the look, be it boots, boots, or booties, it is important to combine the satin skirt with a more closed top - knitwear, jacket, jacket, or at least a blouse/shirt.
