Skirts from the Spring 2014 collections of Altuzarra, Jason Wu, and many more looked as though they’d been slashed with a butcher’s knife before parading down the runway. The resulting thigh-baring silhouette is a chic alternative to a short skirt, mini skirt, and can be easily worked into your spring wardrobe. Scroll down for a way to wear the trend for both work and play.
Wear It To Work
A slit front skirt is a demure interpretation of the trend, making it work appropriate. Add a structured blouse, functional satchel, and a light trench to show that you mean business.

Wear It For Play
For an evening out, try the more daring thigh-slit style in shimmery sequins. Balance the glamour with a sheer tank, tough biker vest and ankle boots. Finish with smoky eye makeup and some statement earrings.
