13 Slip Skirts You’ll Want to Wear All Fall (And Beyond)
Slip skirts are having a moment. As with so many back in vogue trends, the slip skirt was a mainstay of '90s fashion, with nineties stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Moss donning the style for nights on the town, film premiers, and iconic roles (who can forget Gwyneth’s enduring all-green ensemble from 1998’s Great Expectations). Effortlessly chic and universally flattering, the silhouette slipped back into the fashion forefront in 2018 thanks to The Naomi, the cult-favorite leopard slip from Réalisation Par, and the style hasn’t left our look books since.
Feminine and elegant, the easy, fluid drape of the style upgrades any look. The appeal of the slip skirt is its simplicity, which makes it the perfect base for trying out fall’s biggest trends. Pair it with a cable-knit sweater and thigh-high boots (a major theme from Paris Fashion Week), or use it as a neutral and style it with colorblocked sweaters and a tailored trench.
We’ve rounded up 13 slip skirt styles that will transition with you into the colder weather. From classic shapes to hip-hugging bias cuts and playful prints, these slips will redefine your autumn ensembles.
Alice + Olivia

Cut on the bias with a side slit and an asymmetrical hem, AllSaints’ Ani Slip is a slinky, sexy take on the trend. The bias cut gives the skirt a curve-hugging fit that will flatter your form. Contrast the delicate fabric with stomper boots and a longline leather coat for a utilitarian look.
