Once an undergarment, now a style staple, the slip skirt has evolved over a century to become one of fashion&rsquo;s most enduring and versatile silhouettes; here&rsquo;s how designers and It girls are reinterpreting it for fall 2025.

Few garments embody quiet allure like the slip <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/designer-a-line-skirts-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skirt</a>. With its fluid drape and subtle sheen, it borrows its elegance from the world of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lingerie-fashion-trend-spring-summer-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lingerie</a>, yet has long transcended the bedroom. Its origins can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when petticoats and slips were worn beneath dresses for modesty and structure. As fashion evolved, these undergarments became more refined and crafted from silk or rayon in the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fendi-spring-summer-2025-collection-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1920s</a>. They often embellished&nbsp;with lace or embroidery, signaling a shift from purely functional to subtly decorative.
It was in the 1930s that slip skirts began to take on a life of their own. The advent of the bias cut, popularized by designers like Madeleine Vionnet, allowed fabric to cling and skim the body in a way that felt sensual yet sophisticated.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/old-hollywood-glam-takes-over-grammys-beauty" target="_blank" style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0px;" rel="noopener">Hollywood</a> screen sirens of the era, such as Marlene Dietrich and Jean Harlow, wore slinky, bias-cut gowns that mirrored the silhouette of the modern slip skirts, cementing their association with glamour and allure.
After fading into the background during the more structured fashion of the 1950s and 60s, the slip skirt resurfaced with new energy in the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jennifer-aniston-style-inspiration-retro-vintage-friends-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1990s</a>. Designers like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/calvin-klein-fall-winter-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calvin Klein</a> and Narciso Rodriguez embraced the minimalist potential of the silhouette, presenting it in pared-back satins and simple lines. It was the decade that gave us <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/carolyn-bessette-kennedy-yohji-yamamoto-dress-auction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy&rsquo;s iconic wedding dress</a>, a nod to the slip&rsquo;s lingerie roots reimagined as bridal wear, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kate-moss-naked-braless-dress-liza-bruce-1993" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Moss</a> in vintage-inspired satin skirts paired with sheer camisoles and tousled hair.
Today, slip skirts continue to evolve, balancing their intimate origins with modern sensibilities. While designers have reinterpreted this timeless style season after season&mdash;whether in liquid silks, matte jerseys, or crushed velvets&mdash;there is a new reinterpretation that has taken it by storm among girls and trendsetters. If, like us, you are constantly pulling inspiration from your social media feeds, you&rsquo;ve likely noticed that lace silk skirts have officially claimed their spot as the silhouette of the summer&mdash;and potentially fall 2025. Romantic one moment, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/brandy-melville-alternative-for-camisoles-tank-tops-white-tshirts-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">minimalist</a> the next, these lace slip skirts are the perfect transitional investment that proves its worth thanks to its adaptability.
