This summer pleases us with beautiful weather and fiery fashion trends: this is exactly the case when the abundance of open skin on the catwalks can be safely transferred to ordinary life and embodied in your summer looks. Trends include not only short length and translucent materials, but also such seductive and provocative slits!
How to style the slits in the look, organically fitting them into a summer outfit? Which slits make the body visually slimmer, and which ones will add a couple of extra pounds to you? And what other models should you pay attention to, besides a dress with slits?
WHERE DO THE SLITS COME FROM?
Initially, slits on dresses and skirts were the elements of convenience: they were provided in order not to restrict movement and allow comfortable walking in tight outfits. However, along with the fashion for tight dresses among aristocrats, high slits have become a way of seduction in cabarets and boudoirs, revealing the piquant part of the skin, but not showing it completely. Since then, much has changed both in fashion and in the perception of the female body, however, the functions of slits on dresses and skirts have remained unchanged. For example, for a sheath dress or a pencil skirt, a slit is about convenience, but for a floor-length evening dress with straps, a slit to the middle of the thigh is definitely about seduction.
FASHIONABLE DRESSES WITH SLITS
There are a lot of them in the 2022 season! I advise you to buy a dress with puff sleeves, a closed top and a slit in the front (it can go both in the center and along one of the legs) – you can wear it both in the office and in a bar or for a walk. You should also look at the off-the-shoulder sundress with high slits on the sides: this is the most summer clothing you can imagine. Well, as an evening dress, pay attention to a dress with an asymmetrical slit and a pleated skirt.
However, the slits do not have to be vertical and go along the skirt. This season, slits are placed on the ribs, back, shoulders and décolleté. The most popular models with slits are bright or black and white dresses with cutouts under the bust with a mini skirt coming from the waistline, as well as strict midi dresses with curly cutouts on the back or sleeves.
ALTERNATIVE CLOTHES WITH SLITS
Slits are everywhere this year: on shirts, trousers, longsleeves, T-shirts, shorts and even tops. They can imitate tears, have torn or even edges, be curly or regular in shape, go along different parts of the top and bottom. The choice of such clothes directly depends on your stylistic preferences, but I advise you to pay attention to flare trousers with slits on the front or side of the leg, longsleeves with slits on the collarbones, blouses with slits on puff sleeves. Slits will add some emancipation and courage to your look, and will inspire you with a confidence and a good mood.
