There is no other season I look forward to with great enthusiasm than summer. I often equate it to the island girl in me. But there’s more to it than that. For me, summer can be likened to a magical place, beautiful yet hard to put in words. Perhaps it’s the warmth of the sun, the ability to do more outside and of course the light and easy effortless summer style. This season, the side slit midi-skirt trend is one that has fully captured my attention and I’m completely sold. In full transparency, I must admit that I have not only added one, but two of these skirts to my summer wardrobe. Ladies, its the perfect amount of sexy – without doing too much. The styling options are endless with this skirt. Continue reading to learn 3 simple ways you can style this skirt and shop this look as well.

3 Ways to Style a Side Slit-Midi Skirt

1. Oversized Shirt – Styling the side slit-midi skirt with a buttoned down oversized shirt is a stylish, fun and simple way to jazz up this skirt. This is a shirt that most of you may already have in your wardrobe and if not, you can always borrow one of the hubby’s shirts. In this post, I have opted to style this skirt with a slightly oversized silk blouse which I’ve simply tucked through the middle part of my bra to ensure that the blouse stays fixed and flat against my chest. Then simply tied it in a knot at the front. While I’ve worn a silk blouse to dress this skirt up for a summer evening out, any shirt will do. In fact, a simple linen or cotton shirt are additional great options to style this skirt for the summer. Here are three shirt options from Express, Nordstrom Rack and Zara. Be sure to size up if you’d like a more oversized look.

1. Bodysuit – A bodysuit is another ideal piece to wear with your side-slit midi skirt. It is a chic basic which will still allow you to show off the side-slit midi-skirt’s beautiful silhouette. A bodysuit is a good basic to have in your wardrobe. They are versatile and come in a variety of styles. I wear bodysuits with everything – be sure to get them in multiple colours, starting with your basic black and white. Shop my favourite tank bodysuits here and here.
2. Cropped Tank or Tee – Pairing your side slit midi-skirt with a cropped tank or tee is another way to style this skirt. This summer I’ve been on the hunt for good quality cropped tees and tanks. I found some great ones at Aritzia that you can shop here and here.

Accessories

I chose to accessorize this look with my Saint Laurent Kate Tassel bag which you can shop here; this is a purse that will elevate any look. If in the market for a high-end luxury bag, I highly recommend it – especially the croc leather. For sandals, I opted for these Vince Camuto heeled slides which are pretty comfortable and great for elevating any look. You can shop them on sale here and here in a variety of colours. For jewelry, I went with a simple gold necklace, you can shop a similar one here and my favourite chunky oversized hoops from Madewell, which you can shop here.
