Here in Melbourne we are well into winter, with temperatures hovering around 12 degrees, constant grey skies and rainy days a plenty. Our fashion has also begun to revolve around heavy coats, trendy ankle boots and big warm scarves. With all the rugging up, I am starting to miss those warm summer days with bare legs and sun-kissed hair. So I decided to do a style inspiration post on thigh-high slits, something that seems to be trending on lookbook and will probably be trending on Australian shores next Summer.
Traditionally common on runways and red carpets, thigh high slits can also be worked into your everyday wardrobe. The key to pulling off this look is to keep it classy. Slits can make any outfit risque so for an everyday look, all the other elements of the outfit should be toned down and pared back.
Look 1:
Zoe Karssen top, River Island skirt, Sergio Rossi boots, Jason Wu "Mini Miss Wu" bag and straw boater from Etsy.com
Look 2:
Dorothy Perkins top, Topshop quilted leather jacket, Roksanda Ilincic skirt, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, Dolce & Gabbana bag and Forever New cuff.
For an evening look, you can add a touch of drama with a printed skirt , peplums to accentuate the waist and some statement jewelry.
Look 3:
Miso mesh peplum top, Helmut Lang skirt, Vionnet shoes, Chanel Rewind quilted bag, Alkemie Sage curr and Angel Court earrings.
