I did a post on cotton slip underskirts but there’s an even more versatile essential layering item- the cotton slip pants! It took me a long time to find a suitable pair since it doesn’t seem like this is a common item but it’s so useful. Let me know if you guys spot anything similar, I’d love to find better deals!
Transparency protection!
These pants can be worn under literally anything: pants, dresses, skirts! Most wide pants are transparent unless the fabric is really thick, so this helps solve that! You can also wear these pants under shorter skirts/dresses/pants with long boots/socks as a styling choice.
Comfortable!
I own a pair of silk slips and they are so uncomfortable. They always slip (ha) down and end up showing below my pants/skirts and it’s really awkward to fix. This is why I recommend cotton, because it offers the same functionality, but it’s much more comfortable and it stays put. Cotton is also more breathable so it’s good for the summer, and it’s soft and insulating during the winter.
Keeps wide pants wide!
The problem with wearing wide pants is that sometimes they cling more to your legs than a skirt would. These pants fix that problem because cotton is a neutral fabric so it won’t cling to your legs or to the pant fabric. Also, these slip pants have a bit more structure to them than a satin/nylon/silk version would, so it helps the wide pants stay wide and not follow the outline of your legs.
