Slit midi skirts are the easy way to step into spring/summer territory in style
5 years ago
Get a flash of sun on your skin at any given opportunity with slit midi skirts that’ll put a spring in your step.
As the grey days start to disappear and blue skies and flashes of sunshine fill the sky, a much-needed hit of vitamin D is what we could all do with right now. Spring is here, and we’re more than ready for it.
Imagine this: the sun is shining, the beer gardens are open and you meet up with some friends for an overdue catch-up. You’ve spent an hour (okay, maybe even weeks) deciding what to wear for the joyous occasion. What do you go for? We have the answer and it’s in the form of the slit midi skirt that’ll sartorially boost your spirits.
So, what’s so special about the slit midi skirt? It’s all about attention to detail. The trusty midi skirt has been made even more wearable with the addition of a slit (or slits) at the front or sides. Breathing freshness into your new season wardrobe, it’ll also give you an actual breeze as you give a slight flash of skin after months in joggers and slippers.
Giving us reassurance that summer days are on the way, the slit midi skirt is a small trend making big waves for spring/summer 2021. Get in on the action with our edit of the best styles to shop now.
