From Stella McCartney to Victoria Beckham, thigh-high slits were all over major runways. Unfortunately, just like cropped tops, they’re a trend that can easily intimidate. While high slits can seem insurmountably daring for day-to-day wear, they can actually just as easily be pulled off by day as they can by night. By day, opt for a thigh-high slit skirt, a simple tee, and flats or a loosely draped slit dress and flats. A sexier look can be achieved by night with a vibrantly printed slit dress or a slit dress with sequins for the ultimate evening look. Pair the after dark outfit with heels and, for those on the demure side still looking to show off this trend, cover-up with a complementary fitted blazer.
