Try the Trend: Skirts with Slits

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

Rachel McAdams was recently spotted looking positively elegant in a graphic print skirt with a revealing slit. Maxi skirts with slits are one of the hottest fashion trends for Fall 2013. New York Magazine (The Cut) says, “Fur may have been the biggest story of the season, but designers also dabbled in head-to-toe chromatic dressing, lowered hemlines to midi-length, and cut slits on skirts right up to the hip bone.” Other celebrities such as Heidi Klum and Lea Michele were also spotted rocking the trend this season.

I’ll admit it, I have always been a little afraid of slits, because they definitely are a confidence statement. However converting it from a midlength skirt to a maxi skirt makes the trend more wearable and chic. The contrast between the conservative maxi skirt and the revealing slit is the perfect combination of both elegance and sexiness. Although as college students we often think of going out in tight black mini-skirts, try one of these maxi skirt with a thigh-high split for your next occasion. Be a little daring and try something new!
