Styling thigh-high slit skirts can be tricky, but they’re versatile and trendy. These skirts can be dismissed for their revealing design, but with the right styling, they work for both work and play. Check out how these six celebrities rock thigh-high slit skirts for some inspiration:

1. Emma Stone’s Sequin Pencil Skirt

The stunning actress wore a sequined flowy pencil skirt with an equally sequined boxy top tucked in at the waist in contrasting colors.

We love how Emma kept the silhouette simple. The high slit already drew enough attention to her figure, and the loose-fitting fabric kept the sexiness understated. We think a fun, sparkling outfit like this would be perfect for a date night, right?

2. Iggy Azalea’s Casual Maxi Skirt

The Australian rapper, songwriter, and model added a casual flair to her maxi-slitted skirt by pairing it with a sweater and accessorizing it with a fedora hat and slip-on loafers.

Wouldn’t this make a wonderful travel outfit? Amping up your accessory game like Iggy did will help make the long skirt and sweater combo look less frumpy and more stylish.

3. Lauren Pope’s High-Waisted Slit Skirt

The British television personality, actress, glamour model, DJ, music producer, and entrepreneur toughened up her slitted skirt with a cropped leather top and jacket.

High-waisted slitted skirts work so well with cropped tops. They increase the sex appeal and make a perfect combination for a night out! Try layering with a leather jacket like Lauren did for an added edge.

4. Mel B’s Sleek Slit Skirt

The British presenter, television personality, recording artist, actress, author, and model kept it sleek and simple with a white tank top and a statement accessory.

Doesn’t this outfit make Mel B look office-ready? The slitted skirt didn’t look too overwhelming or sexy when paired with a plain white top, and her statement necklace added the perfect stylish touch to even out attention to the upper body!

5. Jourdan Dunn’s Striped Slit Skirt

The English fashion model added a fun twist to her ensemble by pairing her striped skirt with a cropped slogan shirt.

Slogan shirts never fail to turn dressy clothing into something more casual. We love the funky design of this slitted skirt when paired with a graphic T. This outfit could be good for a casual daytime outing with friends or dressed up with some accessories for a classy night out!

6. Kate Middleton’s Elegant Slit Skirt

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, paired her skirt with a mandarin-collared long-sleeved shirt.

Even the Duchess of Cambridge can stand to expose a bit of thigh skin. The key to maintaining modesty, like the Duchess, is balance. Her long-sleeved button-down shirt was an excellent choice to make her outfit demure with a taste of playful femininity.
