Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Skirt Trend Fashion People Use To Make Sweaters Look Much Chicer

Every fall, fashionable celebrities seem to gravitate toward classic jeans and sweater outfits. However, this year, I’ve noticed a refreshing shift as many trendsetters put their jeans aside and elevate their sweaters with slip skirts.

For instance, just yesterday in L.A., Dakota Johnson turned heads in an oversize black crewneck sweater paired with a midi-length slip skirt. This effortless outfit was complemented by chic accessories, including cat-eye sunglasses, sleek black flats, and a large Bottega Veneta bag that added an element of luxury without overwhelming the outfit.

Dakota isn’t alone in adopting this sophisticated yet approachable look. Olympia Marie, the Creative Director and Head of Design at J.Crew, recently took to Instagram to share a photograph showcasing her in a lace-trimmed slip skirt and a V-neck sweater. Even Jessica Alba was seen yesterday in an elegant brown slip skirt paired with an off-the-shoulder sweater.

Analyzing these ensembles, I've come to appreciate the unique synergy between a slip skirt and a sweater. Each piece can make a statement individually, yet when combined, they yield an effortlessly refined aesthetic. The casual nature of the knitwear beautifully offsets the sophistication of the skirt, resulting in a balanced, stylish outfit that feels both laid-back and chic.
