Slit skirts for winter? According to Jennifer Lopez, it’s a definite yes—provided the right boots are involved. Over the past few months, we’ve spotted the singer and actress in this simple but striking style combo, pairing everything from pleated skirts with platforms to animal print from head to toe. But her latest mix of rich and creamy browns has us considering how to recreate this outfit before snow begins to stick.
Worn with knee-high Saint Laurent boots, Lopez’s outfit features a camel-colored maxi skirt with a coordinating knit top and professor-esque plaid blazer, the look is suitable for cooler temperatures without looking too bulky or boring in basic black. It’s a clever way to show the versatility of wearing elevated brown basics as a seasonless neutral and part of a capsule wardrobe that can easily be mixed and matched.
Oh, and the slit to show off the boots? That’s a must—not only does it look intriguing, but it also makes long skirts much easier to walk in.
Keep scrolling to browse an array of knee-high boots in various brown shades and finishes and long skirts with slits in the back, side, or front. Try it with a longer coat for a more wintery vibe, or pair it with a cropped moto-style jacket to draw even more attention to those long legs. Either way, you’ve got the J.Lo seal of approval.
