Slip skirts have long served their time for practicality purposes, worn discreetly under transparent fabrics to stop you accidentally revealing too much. But they’ve now become a wardrobe staple in their own right.
You won’t find them in dull nude shades this season. Instead it’s the luxe, satin-finish designs that are satisfying the fans. From jewel tones to pastel shades, there’s a slip skirt option for every body type and occasion, whether you’re a wedding guest, weekend brunching or heading (whisper it) back to the office.
If you’re looking for a versatile addition to your wardrobe that looks more expensive than it really is, a satin slip skirt is what you need. Here’s our pick of the ones to buy now.
Leopard Print Satin Bias Skirt, Topshop, £35
We love leopard print here at HuffPost UK and this slip is why. It’s lightweight enough that you won’t overheat on the commute but long enough to keep you warm when it’s unexpectedly chilly. We’ll be styling this with mules and white silk cami for an ultra luxurious look.
ASOS DESIGN Bias Cut Satin Midi Skirt With Splits, ASOS, £28
The simplicity of a slip skirt means it’s never been easier to play with colour. This lavish blush pink number is both minimalist and eye catching. Team with a cream knit jumper over a grey t-shirt and chunky trainers for a cool but casual outfit.
Midi Satin Skirt, Mango, £35.99
A powder blue midi might not be the first thing you go to, but worn with a matching top, you’ve got yourself the chicest of co-ords.
Polka Dot Satin Midi Skirt, &Other stories, £59
If you’re stuck in a jean rut – that is wearing denim all day, everyday – this polka dot slip is a great alternative. If you wear it with a crisp white shirt and box fresh white trainers, it makes the ultimate smart casual combo.
Petite Rust Satin Bias Cut Midi Skirt, New Look, £19.99
Embrace a jewel-toned palette with this rust orange skirt. It’ll fast become a staple, and we’ll definitely be wearing ours to more than one wedding in the calendar this summer.
Satin Wrapover Skirt, H&M, £34.99
Play it safe and simple with a little black skirt that’ll serve you well when the heatwave (hopefully) hits and dressing for formal occasions in hot weather becomes increasingly difficult. A ruffled top adds a touch of formality or you can dress it down with a simple black tee.
ASOS DESIGN Bias Cut Satin Slip Midi Skirt In Bright Floral, ASOS, £30
This acid yellow floral skirt is bold, bright and beautiful. Layer up on jewellery with stackable rings, dainty silver necklaces and a round-handled bag.
Bias Cut Satin Skirt, Warehouse, £36
Khaki is the most transitional colour in your wardrobe to take you from spring to summer. All skin tones look good in it, and it’s easily dressed up or down. We’ll be wearing this with trusty Birkenstocks, tank tops and a denim jacket.
Satin Finish Skirt, Zara, £29.99
If pastel denim isn’t your thing, then introduce the summer shades into your closet with this luxe-looking pale yellow version, which will look particularly good on darker skins.
