In this exclusive series of blog posts by our Shopform editors, we share various fashion styles for you to experiment with. From unique looks to creative ways to style your outfits, come with an open mind and go bold with us! Who knows – you might just find a new style for yourself.
To start off our Experiment with Shopform series, we’d like to talk about slits today. Yes, slits! Fun fact: This particular style originated from the 21st century and was an instant hit with women. Once known as the ‘Angelina Jolie leg’, this skin-baring phenomenon ranges from high slits to mid-thigh slits and many more!
Yet in this somewhat conservative sunny Singapore, clothing with slits may not be something that most people have tried. We know when some people hear ‘slits’, it may sound a little inappropriate or controversial at times due to some negative connotation with only looking sultry. But we believe you can definitely elevate your style with a few gorgeous slitted pieces that we’ve picked out for you and your special occasions!
What are my options?
1. Slits for Special Events
First impressions matter! There might have been occasions where you’ve found yourself wondering what to wear for an event happening just round the corner. It’s the best time to try out a new fashion style if you haven’t already done so. Above all, they make great conversation starters.
