After years of admiring the high-slit skirt look from afar, I decided it was finally time to give it a shot myself. The past few times I’ve tried to order this look, my size was always sold out. I’ve seen the most options on Revolve, but I snatched this one up from ASOS right before my latest trip to NYC. I really have loved so many of the options I’ve seen and think the high-slit skirt is such a fun and different option for summer attire. I think maxi skirts and dresses in general are such a fun option for Summer action – especially when you’re looking to switch things up!

I wore this look to brunch with a friend earlier this month (in NYC obviously) and I got several compliments on this look! I mean, granted, it’s a statement look, but I think it’s still tasteful and eloquent and perfect for a sassy day (or night!) out in the city!

I wore mine with a crop top because I felt like the maxi was already a bit bulky on me, so I wanted to do something pretty minimal and that wouldn’t create any additional “busyness” around my waist. It would also look cute with a bodysuit or a fitted camisole tucked in! I’ve even seen some girls wear them with a bralette, but that’s a little too edgy for me personally. If you’re wearing a maxi skirt that doesn’t have a lot of waist action going on (like this one does), it would be super cute to wear a high-slit maxi skirt with a knotted white tee!

Outfit Details: ASOS Maxi Thigh Slit Skirt (wearing size 0) // One Shoulder Ruffle Crop Top // Marc Fisher Wedges (restocked) // Baublebar Gold Earrings (I wear these ALL the time!) // Ray-Ban Icon Sunglasses // Chloe Saddle Handbag

And since we’re talking about high-slit skirts in general, I thought it might be helpful to link up a few other options I’ve found from around the internets! Have you tried this look yet?! Or do you have any skirts like this? What did you wear it with?! Please do tell :) These are from ASOS (below) and then I’ll link some from Revolve as well!

and here are a few more from Revolve (they always have great selections!)
