How to Wear a Slit Skirt Like a Street Style Star

For those of you who do want to show skin, pair your slit skirt (preferably knee-length) with a slightly cropped sleeveless top—it will give you the same shape as wearing it with a fitted tucked-in blouse. Complete the look with a cut-out pump that is equal parts sexy and ladylike.

Take down the inherent seductiveness of the slit skirt by wearing it with a long tunic or dress (you will create a long lean line if you choose tonal colors). Continue the laidback theme with a flat oxford shoe.

Show off your figure by tucking a full sleeved blouse into a slim pencil skirt—the billowy sleeves make sure things don't read too overt. Strappy ankle-strap heels show skin in the right places.  

For a "I woke up like this" feel, throw on a oversized men's shirt and haphazardly tuck it into a body-skimming slit skirt. Pointy-toe ankle boots up the decidely cool-girl vibe. 

On days when spring has not yet sprung, pair a floaty slit skirt with a lightweight sweater and strappy heels—you'll feel seasonally appropriate, but not too cold!

On leather jacket-wearing days, make sure to choose a cropped boxy style to wear with your slit skirt, it will hint at the body and show off your waist. Finish by adding statement heeled boots.
