How to wear a pencil skirt with a slit: models and looks
The pencil skirt emerged in the 50s and gradually became an essential piece in the female closet. They are sensual, elegant and quite versatile. After all, depending on the fabric and style, they can go from a casual look to a composition for a job interview.
The traditional model is fitted, has a high waist and tapers when it reaches the knee. But, today we are going to talk about an adaptation, the slit pencil skirt. It has the same format as the usual one, but has a slit that can vary in location and depth. To better understand these differences, see the topics below.
Black
To begin with, let's talk about the sexiest model on this list: the black pencil skirt with slits. Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to have that sexier connotation. But if you want to put together a bolder look, it will certainly help you with that. An excellent example is the leather ones, like the one worn by actress Grazi Massafera in the photo below. To make the item even more interesting, it even has a zipper in the slit.
The choice of blouse can vary greatly. You can opt for one with lace and transparencies, like the one in the photo above, for a crop top, a shirt or even a T-shirt. Now, regarding the shoes, if the intention is to keep the sensuality of the piece, prefer high heels. You can use open sandals, mid-legged shoes, pumps, among others.
But, to show you that the black pencil skirt with slits can also be worn in a casual look, we bring you a great combination idea. How about embellishing the garment with a basic t-shirt, a jacket and some sneakers?
White
Now, let's talk about a color that brings a little more lightness to the look, but without taking away the charm that this piece has. White goes great with pencil skirts with slits and is one of the best options for work. After all, the piece with this shade does not abuse sensuality and still maintains femininity.
Because it has a neutral color, it is very easy to combine. You can wear yellow, red, burgundy, blue, green, print and many other shades and styles. Not to mention that you can still put together a total white look, plus it looks amazing.
Although most of the slits are on the side of the skirt, on one of the thighs, it is also possible to find models with central slits.
Regardless of the style of blouse you choose, you just have to be careful to match it with the rest of the accessories.
The photo above is a great example of how to make the piece even more interesting. The buttons add a special touch to the garment and, despite highlighting the slit even more, they don't make the piece too provocative.
Stamp
Since we've already talked about two classic colors, it's time to show some more colorful examples. So it's time to see an amazing selection of printed skirts. Here the styles can vary a lot and, usually, the sensuality scale of the piece will be directly linked to the print it has. For example, flowers always bring more femininity to the outfit, but in the example below, the colors chosen and the depth of the slit also make the garment quite daring.
However, to make you realize the importance of combining the other elements, we bring you the following example. Although the skirt had similar colors to the previous one, the combination of the blouse and, of course, the difference in the depth of the slit, made the look a little less provocative.
The prints may or may not appear all over the piece. This can also go a long way in making your body fit better.
Running away from floral prints, we also brought some options with stripes for you to fall in love with. They can appear vertically, horizontally, diagonally, forming chess or creating other different compositions on the piece.

And to close, if you want a pencil skirt with slit that goes well with serious looks, but can also be worn on casual occasions, the one pictured above is a great option. The mix of black, white and grey gives it a slightly more understated look. But at the same time, the tie at the slit brings modernity to the piece.
Other colors
Finally, this theme was made to show that the slit pencil skirt looks amazing in all shapes and colors. For starters, we have two examples of skirts, one burgundy and one purple. Although similar, they form completely different looks. The first one, is paired with a t-shirt, jacket and sturdy black shoes. Already, the second photo, brings a more traditional composition, great for a work day.
