Welcome to The Essentials, our weekly series highlighting a must-have classic, key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.
Historically worn as négligées and as underpinnings for clingy skirts and dresses, the straightforward slip-style skirt is now officially considered to be the main attraction in 2022. This is great news, considering the fact that I've been looking for a way to stop styling my favorite denim now that spring is finally here. Goodbye, uncomfortably stiff denim! Hello flowy, easy-to-style slip skirts.
Thanks to figure-flattering silhouettes that help achieve a pulled-together ensemble, slip skirts are as welcome in the office as they are on a night out with your partner. Better yet, styling them is also super simple. Keep your ensemble straightforward with a skirt that comes in an single all-over color, or take a more classically feminine route in a spring skirt dusted with flower prints or polka dots. I would even go so far as to say that a classic, sleek black midi skirt is just as versatile in your closet as your usual pair of black office-approved pants. Some slips come with matching tops, but a basic white T-shirt, tank top, or button-down would also suffice if you're running late and need to get dressed in five minutes or less.
Ahead, the Marie Claire editors rounded up 11 of the best (and most versatile!) slip skirts to choose from this spring. From splurge-worthy picks that come in neon hues to some more attainably priced pieces from Mango and ASOS, this list has it all.
This 100 percent silk midi skirt from SVNR Shop is hand-dyed in Brooklyn, New York and comes in tons of different colors. Better yet, it has a hidden drawstring so you can customize your skirt's length.
Who said that slip skirts had to be midi-length? This mini option from Realisation Par is available to shop in five colors and prints, and is a fresh take on that leopard-print midi skirt that was everywhere a few seasons ago.
If you want a slip-style skirt that feels date-night approved, try this one from lingerie brand Fleur Du Mal.
The new spring season calls for a new warm-weather-inspired wardrobe. This easy-to-style slip skirt from Mango is available to shop in sizes up to a 3X and is so reasonably priced at only $50.
Serotonin Dressing is a thing for Spring 2022. After so much time spent in loungewear, I think we could all use a bit of color in our wardrobe. Enter: This neon pink skirt from ASOS.
Chocolate brown is often more wearable than black in the spring and summer months, so consider swapping out your usual everyday skirt for this one from Reformation.
If the classic black slip skirt hanging in your wardrobe could use a bit of an update, consider this 100% silk one from Cuyana.
Polka dots are the slightly less sweet than florals, so its great for wearing when a basic non-printed skirt isn't cutting it.
Are you getting married this year and you're not looking to wear something super formal? A white midi skirt like this one from RAILS can look formal while still looking effortless.
Show a little skin courtesy of this neon-yellow slip skirt from Michael Lo Sordo. There's even a matching silk top if you want to style the color from head-to-toe.
This slightly updated iteration has a tiered skirt design for added drama. Style it with a white tee or tank top for a classic summer look.
