Slip skirts have been trending for years now, and honestly, we never want to see them go. Stretchy around the waist for comfort, flattering on curves and a fashion item you can work back into pretty much any dress code, there’s a reason slip skirts have been a top selling style, and even more reason for you to consider picking one (or two!) up for yourself.
HOW LONG IS A SLIP SKIRT?
While there is no exact rule here, most slip skirts are mid-calf length. This means they pair really well with heels, flats and sandals. However, you’ll also find plenty of gorgeous mini slip skirts, which look great with boots, and maxi slip skirts, which give outfits a distinctly 90s feel. The main element to look for is that the skirt gently hugs your hips, then falls straight. Also, silky materials are often the most wearable as they skim the body nicely without bunching.

HOW DO I WEAR A SLIP SKIRT TO WORK?
Great news! Slip skirts are the perfect piece to incorporate into your work wardrobe. Just team one with a plain white tee, some ankle boots, and a blazer for a smart-casual feel, or a blouse and heels for a more corporate office. You can also dress a slip skirt down well for casual offices with white sneakers or flatform sandals.
Below you’ll find our favourite slip skirts, from workwear options to casual pieces.
