The slit is back with a vengeance. Ever since Angelina started wearing them, designers can’t stop showing off their expertise for designing the perfect slit. The slit has come a long way and today I plan on featuring slits for the everyday gal.
This pink maxi allows you to keep a lot to the imagination, but also exudes a pop of sexiness because the slit will make you reveal some leg action. I guess this is why I chose to feature it. It’s got a round and conservative neckline but is offset by its bright pink color. I like the fact that it is appropriate for many functions but still allows you to be bold, beautiful, and playful.

Do you need a sassy red skirt with a sexy slit for Valentine’s Day? This form fitting pencil is appropriate for all ages and body types. The material is very forgiving. You can pair this with a tight top if you are feeling in the mood for cocktails and dancing, or you can pair this with a loose fitting top for extra breathing room for the 3-course dinner. Pair with strappy stilettos, or try some with fringe to add personality to the look.

Are you thinking about Valentine’s Day? I don’t blame you because it is just around the corner. Although this article is about slits, this dress fits all the requirements for a perfect Valentine’s Day dress. This one shoulder floor length dress is pretty without looking like you are trying too hard.
Don’t over accessorize while wearing this dress - keep it simple. It is red, elegant, and it has got a slit that sends the right message. Whether it’s for Valentine’s or not, this dress is worth the sale price just to have for the night that you can’t decide what to wear.

Finally I recommend you check out this basic black long skirt with a slit. This is a piece every gal should have in her closet. You can literally wear this dressed down with booties in the cooler weather for a grungy look, or transform this into a flashy evening outfit. The fact that it’s a skirt allows you to change your vision and execute your preferred look. My favorite part would be pairing this skirt with bold or a patterned crop top and pointy shoes.
