What’s that? Another ’90s trend that’s refusing to go away? That’s right, the silky slip skirt – just like the boob tube – is enjoying a renaissance as the temperatures rise. The modern take? Make it ultra-sheer. Chalk it up to the exposed lingerie trend that ruled the spring 2023 runways (see Gucci, Miu Miu), it’s a mood that has seen A-list celebrities stalking the pavements with their underwear on display.

As a supermodel is wont to do, Emily Ratajkoswki has interpreted the trend in the most literal way, stepping out in Manhattan in a see-through black slip skirt with a matching bralette that, for most mortals, would definitely stay in the section of their wardrobe marked “nightwear”. A long-time fan of the summer boots trend, she added a pair of Western-inspired black knee-highs.

Fellow fans of the ’90s slip skirt – defined by its silky fabric and low-slung waist – include Kendall Jenner, who styles hers with a classic tank and The Row’s Ginza flatform sandals, to amp up the Rachel-Green-in-a-turn-of-the-millennium-episode-of-Friends factor.
