How to Wear Thigh-High Slits. The new trend dominating the fashion world by storm: thigh-high slits. Whether they be skirts with slits up the side or jackets with slits running down the side, slits are a daring but super fashionable look that will bring your wardrobe to the next level.
They tend to look very feminine and stylish and can be worn to formal evening dates and dinners galas. You can find skirts and dresses with slits of all lengths. You can experiment in so many ways, too. Wear plain skirts with either a sweater or a printed blouse and if you want textured skirts, go for silk blouses in a solid color. You can wear flat sandals but heels with slits can make your legs look longer which is what you want. Just remember that slits don’t mean that you need to be uncomfortable. If you are not happy with a lot of skin showing (but don’t mind showing a little) then find yourself a slitted skirt that stops at the knee.
Tips On Wearing Thigh-High Slits
Let’s start with some simple tips to show you how to wear thigh-high slits in your skirts and dresses.
- As a rule, wear heels. Whether you are wearing a skirt or dress with a slit up the side, heels will elongate your legs and create a streamlined look. Flats will bring your hips closer to the floor and make you appear shorter. However, there are some instances when you can pull off a thigh-high slit dress or skirt with flats and that is if the dress is midi. Otherwise, a maxi dress with flats is suitable for the beach or a pool party.
- Thigh-high slits are quite daring and expose a lot of the leg. Balance the look with a dainty camisole (if wearing a skirt) and consider adding a pretty shawl or another coverup, especially if you fear getting chilly, whatever the event is you are heading to.
- If a thigh-high slit is just too much skin for you but you still love the slit look, opt for a skirt or dress that has a modest slit, perhaps one that stops at the knee. Or you can wear thigh-high boots to limit the amount of leg shown. Plus, it’s a seriously gorgeous look.
- Consider wearing stockings or sheer tights for an extra smooth leg look.
- If your aim is to look elegant, avoid flashy jewelry, gaudy heels, or an overly juvenile appearance. Choose quality pieces of jewelry, sophisticated heels, and a classic hairstyle.

This look is perfect for photoshoots, beach parties, and vacation dates with your love. This is a great option for the gal who may not want to bare her whole leg. Instead, a sheer white miniskirt keeps the looks modern and stylish without sacrificing modesty. The overskirt as well allows for bare skin without showing the upper thigh or even hip. Accessorize with a statement ring and style your hair in loose beach waves. This is a look you will feel like a million bucks in.

Fashionistas, take notes! This is a seriously stylish ensemble that will make a statement, no matter what the occasion. We love its individuality and coloring. A look like this is easy to accessorize! Also, heads up to our petite ladies in the audience: if you want to rock a maxi dress, a thigh-high slit is a great way to elongate the leg. Add an oversize tote designer purse, statement sunglasses, and a pair of strappy stilettos.
↓ 44. Formal Dress
A thigh-high slit is always daring and in some cases, it is truly alluring. Consider donning a full-length gown with a thigh-high slit next time you have a formal event to attend. With this dress, which shows more skin than most, notice the high neckline and modest sleeves. You can also rock a pair of serious statement earrings to tie the look together.
↓ 43. Dinner Date Look
For semi-formal events, especially during the colder months, this look is to die for. Here is an example of how you can wear sneakers with a thigh-high slit dress. For one, a semi-casual maxi dress is required, one you can knot just at the knee or below it. You can layer this with a gorgeous shaggy coat and pair it up with white Adidas. Then, it’s all about the accessories! A statement necklace, stud earrings, and a designer handbag make this one look you won’t soon forget.
↓ 42. Bold Print Dress and Knee-High Boots
Here is a fantastic example of styling a thigh-high slit dress with knee-to-thigh-high boots (oof, try saying that three times fast!). It limits the amount of leg shown and it is ridiculously chic. For the curvy ladies who fear bold prints: you can see here how absolutely fabulous it looks. We also love how this dress covers up the shoulders and cleavage area, perfectly balancing the amount of leg shown. Less can sometimes be more! This is one stunning look you should definitely consider trying.
↓ 41. Stylish Black Dress with Sandals
We love this look for its versatility. You can throw it on for simply running errands or you can add a few accessories, swap out the sandals for heels and wear it to a party. It’s chic and understated but comes with that daring slit that brings it to the next level. This is also one of the singular examples of how you can wear flats with a thigh-high slit dress. In this case, the dress hits mid-calf which allows for enough leg to still keep an elongated look. If the dress were maxi-length, we would definitely recommend heels! (Unless you are headed to the beach, in which case a maxi dress with sandals or flip-flops is perfectly acceptable.)
