From Kate Moss’ transparent silver slip that she wore to an Elite Model Agency party to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Elvira Hancock number in Scarface, the slip had become a daring fashion favourite.Now, the slip skirt has become one of the most popular pieces of the moment with everyone from Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Jordan Dunn and Emma Stone wearing the sultry style.
Liberated from its lingerie status, the slip found its way to the forefront of '90s fashion, but until now, hasn't had much of a look in. However, with the industry's renewed obsession with all things throwback, this season has seen the trend back in fashion editors' and influencer's look books everywhere and anywhere sporting the looks in some fun and creative ways.
One way to wear your slip is with a ginormous jumper over the top – the combination of chunky knit and silky slip tapping into the all-important high/low styling trick. If the thought of bias-cut satin skimming your bum is making your breakfast repeat, get a jumper that hits below your bottom and stuff the front bit into your waistband, viola!
Many influencers have chosen to go tonal when wearing their slip skirt, and we love the elegance. Words to the wise –Slip skirts are rotters for VPL, so if you’d rather keep your underwear incognito, get yourself a pair of seamless briefs. You're welcome!
As for your feet? Boots, boots, boots. Punk-fuelled, western, knee-high, ankle – anything goes. Trainers and heels, too – the boot is especially a 'go-to' giving that counterbalance of edginess vs. slinkiness.
