When “side slit pants” is mentioned, what comes to you mind first? Most people would probably answer: dancers on the stage. Indeed, when dancers do different movements, slit pants will make their image look more dynamic and energetic. In fact, side slit pants were exactly designed for dancers and Yoga enthusiast originally. It is not very long since split pants entered the daily life of ordinary people. The height of the slits can be various. Some lower slits may only reach the calf, while higher slits may reach the knee or even the thigh. In addition, you can also see slits on pants of different widths. Whether it is a slim-fitting trouser or a wide-leg trouser, the slits make them more unique. Due to their unique advantages, side slit pants have gained welcome from ladies all over the world quickly.

First of all, the slit is just a kind of design, or a style. Therefore, the requirements of fabrics for slit pants are not strict. No matter the pants are made of leather, cotton, wool or silk, as long as there are slits on the sides of the pants, then they can be called as “side slit pants”. So you have many choices among side slit pants, and can wear them on all seasons.

Secondly, the slit pants have the characteristic of providing convenience for people to move. That is exactly why this kind of pants were initially worn by dancers. So today, you can also go hiking or climb mountains in a pair of slit pants.

As mentioned above, there are side slit pants in nearly all kind of fabrics. So when you are choosing a pair of side slit pants, you need to consider about the fabric you want first. Although the application scenarios of slit pants are gradually increasing, but for now, there are still several occasions where high slits are seen as indecent. So it is better not to buy slit pants on impulse, but to think carefully before choosing the most suitable one for you.

Firstly, the fabric of the pants depends on the season and the weather to a large extent. During hot summer, a pair of slit pants made of silk or chiffon is a good choice since they can help keep you cool. On the contrary, in autumn, a pair of slit pants made of wool keeps you warm. So if you would like to buy a pair of slit pants now, then you can buy one made of wool or leather instead of silk and chiffon. In addition, the elasticity of the fabrics also matters. Especially when you buy a pair of slit pants for dancing or yoga, the pants should be made of fabrics of high elasticity. But if you wear a pair of slit pants to business occasions, then fabrics of low elasticity should be chosen to ensure that it is uneasy for the pants to be deformed.

The height of the slits is also what you need to consider about. This is up to the occasions that you are going to attend, or your occupation. If you are an office lady who has to attend business occasions, or a teacher who needs to be decent in front of a large number of students, you can wear a pair of side slit pants of course, but the slits can not be too high. Otherwise, your outfit will be considered as indecent or informal. But if you are a dancer, or a fan of street photography, then the slits can be relatively high. The high slits can not only make it convenient for you to move, but also improve your charm through showing the curves of your legs.

Moreover, the position of the slits should also be paid attention to. Today, most of the slit pants or dresses have slits on the sides. But there are also pants that are with slits in the front. You can choose a pair pants with slits on the position that you prefer.

Since side slit pants were worn by dancers or performers at first, they were always paired with exaggerated accessories and heavy makeups to achieve the stage effect. But in daily life, it is unrealistic that we wear extremely eye-catching accessories and heavy makeups everyday to pair with the side slit pants. So how can we accessorize those side slit pants in daily life to achieve better effects?

The first thing to be discussed is the choice of shoes. Most slit pants are relatively long, especially those with slits on the front of the pants. So we can say that a pair of high heels is a good partner of slit pants since it can further lengthen your legs visually and avoid falling your trousers to the ground. In addition, if you buy a pair of side slit pants for doing sports, then a pair of sneakers are also acceptable. But a pair of long boots might be in conflict with the slits, so it is better not to choose a pair of long boots unless the slits are extremely high and will never be covered by the boots.

You can pair your side slit pants with nearly all kinds of hats except straw hats. In autumn, a beret goes well with the side slit pants, while when climbing mountains or doing exercises, a bucket hat or a peaked cap is also a good choice. For the demand of exercising, a hat is necessary, since it can protect you from sunburn. But if you are going to dancing, then the hat is not necessary. On the contrary, as you move, the hat may fly away and become a burden of you. Side slit pants of different styles should be paired with different types of bags. For your demand of exercising, you can take a backpack with you to carry a bottle of water or other things you need. But when you are going to attend a formal occasion, then it is better for you to choose a clutch. For the demand of commuting, a tote bag will not reduce your elegance.

To attend formal occasions, try to wear some low-key jewelry with a pair of pants with lower slits. But to pair with a pair of high slit pants, you can wear relatively exaggerated jewelry to create an energetic feeling.

Side slit pants are welcomed also for their versatility. A pair of slit pants can go well with nearly all kind of tops. Besides, you can also explore the combination of side slit pants with dresses, skirts, sweaters and so on. Here are some suggestions for your reference.

A pair of side slit pants + a cropped top
This outfit is suitable for early autumn and for petite ladies. There is no doubt that a pair of side slit pants can make your legs look longer, and a cropped top also has the same function. So this combination will certainly be welcomed by petite ladies.

As you walk, your trouser legs and the hem of your trench coat will swing lightly, which makes your outfit dynamic.

A pair of slim side slit pants + an oversize jacket
A pair of slim side slit pants will further make your legs look longer and thinner. Together with an oversize jacket, this outfit creates a sense of contrasting between the wide top and the slim bottom.
