    I love a side slit, or a back slit, but once had a very ugly photographic experience with a front center slit *shudder*

    Love it but it's not for me... my legs aren't long and beautiful enough to show them in such a way.

    A slit can be worn with class, when done correctly. So, no, not slutty at all whatsoever. =]

    thanks for the comments on my Collages/Polyvore and yes it's a new header. =]

    I think slits are really sexy, but when they go all the way up there it makes the girl look a little slutty! But I definitely like the look!

    Some of the looks are great, but I'm not so big on the double slits or the Elie Saab dress where you can see the model's underwear.

    Every girl needs to show a little leg from time to time. Who doesn't like to feel like Jessica Rabbit every now and again?

    Tha Elie Saab gown is downright scandalous, but I love it! lol The Tuleh gown is gorgeous as well. The blue Versace gown on the runway is so innovative--even though January Jones made me hate it at the Golden Globes. If you have the legs...go for it!

    I think it all depends on how you wear the slit. Slits could be very sexy but not slutty.

    Adore! I'm looking forward especially to slitted legs and long tops flowing off one shoulder. Cannot wait until the weather permits.

    As long as you are not showing anything that you are not supposed
    to, skirt slits are perfectly fine.

    My favorite piece is the Tory Burch skirt. I love how she
    makes modern clothes sexy,
    without being over the top.

    Once I get my leg muscles toned then I'll be all for this trend ;). Until then I'm going to ignore the trend!

    oh elie saab, why give someone another reason to show their thong strap?


    teehee. i like slit-iness when it's done well, though!

    I'm a big fan of slits - as long as they're not too drastic.
    Though it does mean I'll have to spend even more hours on cardio so my legs can look fab enough to pull off this trend :)
    Great post darling.

    nothing wrong with showing a little or a lot of leg.

    I don't like my legs, I don't like my knees, so this is something I can't pull off :(

    But I think it's soooooooooo sexy when wore in the right way.

    As a transgender male, who is midway through my transformation to female, I must say the question of where the slit goes was a biggie. This site gave me some great ideas. Thanks !!
