Slip Skirts

Our women’s slip skirts are all about effortless elegance and figure-enhancing fits. The style, which is usually cut on the bias, is a flattering option for daywear or special-event outfitting. Explore our collection to find slip skirts by Ghost London, the occasionwear specialists. Pieces by brands such as Nobody’s Child, Ro&Zo and FatFace also feature.

The thing that makes our slip skirts so effective is simplicity. The look takes its inspiration from classic lingerie pieces that needed to be super-smooth and understated. Expect slim waistbands or elasticated waists and straight or A-line shapes that skim over your curves without clinging. A hint of flutter at the hem adds movement as you walk. In our selection of slip-style women’s skirts, you’ll discover midis that are cut to below the knee and women’s maxi skirts that fall to your ankles. To make sure you achieve your perfect fit, we offer plus-size slip skirts in sizes from 18 to 28.

Ladies’ slip skirts are chic choices to reach for when you’re dressing for a wedding, the races or a sophisticated evening do. Opt for women’s black skirts or inky-hued blue skirts for women to channel timeless glamour. Satin options in delicate shades of dusty pink, mossy green or subtle ivory have a romantic feel. Pairing silky slip skirts with drapey T-shirts for women and layering on women’s cardigans knitted from cashmere gives a contrast of supersoft textures. Pick women’s shirts or blouses with balloon sleeves and ruffled necklines to put together a vintage-inspired ensemble. Nude-tone high heels complete the look.

Slip Skirts FAQs

What is a slip skirt?

Slip skirts started off as lingerie items, which accounts for the flattering and feminine nature of the style. The design is deceptively simple – you may be forgiven for thinking these are just straight pieces. In fact, slip skirts are cut on the bias from smooth fabrics, including silk and satin. This means you get a drapey fit that skims your body and offers plenty of elegant movement. Expect details such as super-slim waistbands and fluttery hems.

When can you wear a satin skirt?

Satin slip skirts are versatile pieces that can be easily dressed up or down. The luxurious feel of satin fabrics is ideal for smart events when you want a polished look. By choosing separates, like slip skirts and camis or cashmere knits, you can put a modern spin on eveningwear. Slips are equally at home during the day when paired with tailored shirts and blazers or crew-neck tees and longline trench coats.

What shoes can you wear with a satin slip skirt?

You can go for feminine, sporty or chunky footwear when styling satin slip skirts. Maxi lengths work well with high-heeled mules or courts featuring pointed toes, which can peep out from under rolled hems. Two-tone ballet pumps look especially chic when paired with a midaxi slip that falls to your mid calf or high ankle. To dial down the glamour for daytime, choose low-top trainers and a midi satin slip skirt.
