How to Style a Slip Skirt in Winter: 4 Easy Steps for Cozy, Pretty Outfits

A slip skirt is not just for summer. In winter, the shiny, soft fabric looks amazing next to chunky knits, and it is one of the easiest ways to look dressed up for the holidays without trying too hard.

Below are 4 simple steps, each shown on a real outfit with numbered labels, so you know exactly how to put the look together.

Quick answer: Pair your slip skirt with a cozy sweater, add tights if it is cold, and finish with pointed boots or heels. For work, layer a collared shirt under a V neck sweater.

Step 1: Pair it with an oversized sweater

This is the classic winter slip skirt outfit. A big soft sweater on top balances the sleek skirt, and the mix of cozy and shiny looks expensive. Tuck just the front of the sweater or let it hang loose.

Step 2: Try a Fair Isle sweater for a festive look

For the holidays, swap a plain knit for a patterned Fair Isle sweater. A lace trimmed slip skirt peeking out below makes it feel sweet and festive, perfect for Christmas morning or a cozy party.

Step 3: Match a knit twin set for a soft look

A knit twin set with a slip skirt in the same color is pretty and very polished. One color from top to bottom makes you look taller, and it works for brunch, the office or a holiday lunch.

Step 4: Layer a collared shirt for work

For the office or a dressy holiday event, layer a collared shirt under a V neck sweater and wear it with a black satin midi skirt. It is smart, warm and still feels festive in red.

Slip skirt mistakes to avoid

• Wearing a thin, tight top that shows every line of the skirt
• Skipping tights or boots on very cold days
• Picking a skirt that is too tight across the hips, which causes wrinkles
• Adding too many shiny pieces at once
