When it comes to style, a simple detail can make all the difference. Right now, we’ve got our eyes on the side-slit top. While you might be most familiar with skirts with slit details à la Angelina Jolie, this iteration is something different.
This detail along the side seams of your everyday top is minor but mighty, elevating any piece from its standard look. From split hems to dramatic high-low levels, these tees, blouses, and sweaters add movement and allow for styling, tucking, and twisting your top in a range of new ways.
Ready to test out a side-slit top yourself? We pulled together our favorite takes on the style just for you. Layer them over a mock turtleneck for the winter, or take a lighter version to the beach with you as a cover-up. Or, tuck the front into a pair of skinny jeans for a casual approach to the trend. Whatever you do, you’ll want to wear this trend all the time.
