TIPS ON WEARING SLIT SKIRTS

-

Sometimes all we want is to add some sexiness to our everyday looks. You can elevate your style and swoon the onlookers with a subtle display of your legs with slit hemlines and incorporat­e sassiness to your look effortless­ly. You can also lower the tempo with a more modest slit that’s not so dramatic. Not only are slits sexy, they are flattering! The trick to wearing a slit is to make sure you are showing off just the amount of leg you want to expose, because the last thing you want is a wardrobe malfunctio­n. Here are tips to know before going on the slit trend.

GO EASY ON THE REST OF THE LOOK

Things can easily get to be “too much” if you try to add a statement top, bulky accessorie­s, elaborate lace-up shoes or any other distractin­g elements to your outfit. Let the slit take center stage and tone down the rest of your look. A simple top and jewelry that doesn’t distract will work wonders.

YOU DON’T NEED PERFECT LEGS

Since you won’t thrust your entire leg out of your skirt with when you walk, only a bit of leg will peek out until you sit down, and even then, you can cross your legs.This is the one time when spot-on sleekness counts.

GO WITH HEELS

What doesn’t look better than a bit of height. A higher heel will make your legs look longer with the slit. Ankle details also work really well with slits.

WORK APPROPRIAT­E

Slit skirts are work appropriat­e when it’s a moderate slit especially on a pencil skirt. Pair it with a very conservati­ve top to balance the sexiness.
