Some women love to show off their toned legs by wearing a short dress or a skirt, while few others prefer to go the peek-a-boo way. And if you are one of them, who prefer not to show too much leg, but still want to strut your stuff, then your best bet would be wearing a maxi dress with a slit.They are not only popular with Hollywood celebrities, but Bollywood beauties as well. But carrying off a slit dress is not that easy. Commit one fashion faux pas, and it might just ruin your overall look. TOI offers some tips on how to carry off this hot trend with style:
1. Consider your height before choosing the dress. Shorter women shouldn't pick a long slit dress as it will make them look shorter. Go for a short slit that will accentuate your overall look. Taller women can have it easy by going for long slits.
2. While your height plays a major role, the comfort factor is also something that one needs to keep in mind. Before you decide to slit wide open, remember to pick a dress with a slit that is comfortable for you to carry off. Wearing a high slit dress and trying to cover up is a no-no. So choose something that you can carry off without trying to cover up.
3. If you are blessed with a hot bod, then you can afford to go for a thigh high slit. But if you are not confident about showing off your legs, then go minimal like how Parineeti Chopra chose to reveal at an event recently.
4. Belt/hip chains make a lot of difference to your overall look. Wearing a belt not just highlights your waist, but it gives a flow to your gown.
5. A flattering dress needs the right footwear too. Choose the same colour footwear as your dress. Wearing a contrasting colour will take the limelight away from your legs.
6. Maxi dresses with slits are usually figure-hugging. Make sure you choose the right underwear. Try wearing a thong, but if you are not comfortable, then choose seamless underwear.
A flattering figure and a comfortable pair of stilletoes is all you need to pull off the slit dress. But make sure you don't go over-the-top, and keep your hairdo and make-up minimal.
