Slip skirts are a transseasonal wardrobe hero.
Slip skirts weren’t always destined for solo wear. Originally designed as an undergarment over a century ago, slips have shifted from a hidden hero to a silhouette that deserves to be seen. The 1990s pushed slip skirts into the mainstream, made from satin, silk and nylon, in bias cuts and trimmed with lace—and they’ve since become a well-loved staple among the celebrity set.
They really come into their own in the summer months, however, serving as both a stylish accompaniment to a bikini and oversized shirt, or a slinky camisole for evening. While lightweight in their construction, slips can also be utilised throughout autumn, with slouchy V-neck sweaters, blazers and bomber jackets alike.
Invest in one with an added point-of-interest like, say, a vibrant colourway or Broderie flourish, and you’ll feel inclined to reach for it when your outfit needs an upgrade. Scroll on for inspiration – and the best slip skirts to consider adding to basket, now.
