And I do have one skirt that can use one...oops! That said, I used to wear slips, probably through the '80's. They were totally normal.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1921175 Mon, 21 May 2018 17:34:14 +0000 delurked 1921175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabric is definitely key in slips. Cheap fabric doesn’t even seem worth buying, as it then doesn’t do what its intended purpose is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1921173 Mon, 21 May 2018 17:31:13 +0000 The Cat 1921173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As (midi) dresses and skirts are on trend, let's hope that retails will soon understand the need for more slips and half slips--preferably in comfortable qualities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1921123 Mon, 21 May 2018 13:15:43 +0000 Ginger 1921123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear slips with almost every skirt and dress. I don't with self-lined items, and occasionally I leave it off with snug sweater dresses that I wear with Wolford tights, which are smooth like dance tights and don't get static.</p> <p>Most of my half slips are Vanity Fair, which I get from Kohl's. Others are from the department store Dillard's. Their store brand Cabernet has the best selection of both traditional full and longer slips; it's hard to find a slip nowadays without a slit to mid-thigh, but they do have at least one. I think they discontinued the shorter ones. I have a big collection of both black and nude half slips in different lengths, depending on the color of the skirt/dress and legwear. I wear the 16" black one quite a bit in winter because it keeps short dresses/tunics from riding up on leggings and thick tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1921020 Mon, 21 May 2018 02:48:46 +0000 3style 1921020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In colder weather I sometimes wear a slip skort. I find when the skirt and shorts are attached together there isn’t as much sliding around as with two separate pieces. I also sometimes wear nylons under it! I don’t like built-in control top stockings because they tend to dig into my hip-meets-leg crease, in a way that shorts don’t. </p> <p>This thread is a good reminder though about summer slips. I have a white denim pencil skirt which I like for when it is very hot, but it is sheer enough that I always wear tunic tops over it, which is visually less than ideal. I should go find a light-colored slip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1921006 Mon, 21 May 2018 02:13:51 +0000 Diana 1921006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of half slips to wear under unlined skirts or dresses with tights - they really help prevent static cling. Two places I can usually find them are amazon or target. </p> <p>In the summer I orften wear culotte slips (in a loose,silky nylon material) for comfort on hot, humid days. I tried and disliked the jockey slip shorts when they first came out as they felt too warm to me, but may try them again as I think they might have changed the fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips/page/2#post-1920998 Mon, 21 May 2018 01:53:10 +0000 Anonymous 1920998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have black and nude half slips in different lengths and wear them with skirts and dresses all the time to smooth things out and prevent cling. Older slips are more likely to be nylon or silk. Now it is hard to find one that is not polyester. I wish I could find some pretty full length slips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920986 Mon, 21 May 2018 01:09:09 +0000 Sal 1920986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two black slips and one white one.&nbsp; I have a couple of dresses that require them and one or two where they provide another layer in transitional weather.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920953 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:56:50 +0000 Aquamarine 1920953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of very old half slips. I can’t remember when I wore them last. My favorite slip was a type of shorts slip and I felt most secure in those for some reason. I guess because they couldn’t ride up or bunch up. I no longer have them. Now I’m more likely to wear Jockey skimmers or something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920952 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:56:17 +0000 delurked 1920952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew I had some slip shorts, but wasn’t sure the brand. They are jockey shorts in the longer length. Since I’m wearing a skirt just below the knees today today, I put them on. They are my regular size, so I didn’t need to size up. They feel good and stay put. The waist doesn’t roll down and the legs don’t roll up. Not sure why they’ve been hiding in my drawer forgotten for so long. I will definitely wear them this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920947 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:36:42 +0000 Windchime 1920947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is interesting. I’ve been wondering if anyone besides me still wears slips; I’m glad to not be the only one! I wear a half slip when a dress or skirt is sheer enough to see through.</p> <p>Slips are becoming harder to find in retail these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920944 Sun, 20 May 2018 20:17:35 +0000 The Cat 1920944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a slip or a half slip when I feel that it is needed. I own a few and have had them for years.</p> <p>Slip shorts are an unknown concept to me. and I can't say I feel attracted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920909 Sun, 20 May 2018 16:24:15 +0000 Toban 1920909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, try the Jockey cooling slip shorts. They are perfect for DC summers. They’ve never felt sweaty or sticky to me. They are also not spanx or other body shaping, so they don’t cut in at all. They are also available in two lengths. I now have them in multiples for DC summers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920900 Sun, 20 May 2018 15:59:07 +0000 delurked 1920900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane - I also have static problems. It’s frustrating when a slip adds to the problem, as that’s most of the point in my mind. </p> <p>I have had shorts that have really worked well in past, and others I’ve tossed into the trash in frustration. It’s crazy how some have been so good and others worthless. </p> <p>I also can’t stand the slip peeking out at bottom, and have definitely adjusted where it sits at my waist to avoid it being seen. When I was in college I wore a lot of short skirts. I actually found a slip that ended just under my bum. I don’t have that one anymore, but it shows how I wore them even then. :)</p> <p>I purchased a slip for my DD because she had a dress I found too sheer without it. I don’t think she’s ever worn it with a different dress, so I doubt she will ever wear a slip as a regular practice. TBH, she’s not into dresses at all right now, so maybe a moot point anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920888 Sun, 20 May 2018 15:05:53 +0000 Gail 1920888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few half slips that I rarely wear but keep just in case. I have some of the slip shorts but I find that they tend to roll up my thighs in a rather uncomfortable manner, anyone else have this problem ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920879 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:36:44 +0000 Anonymous 1920879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do - once in awhile if the dress is too sheer or thin to go without. &nbsp;I prefer slip shorts in summer, &nbsp;as I'm not thin enough to have upper thighs that don't touch. &nbsp;The feeling of my thighs touching when walking or sitting makes me crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920868 Sun, 20 May 2018 14:01:19 +0000 Jane 1920868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh!

As a matter of fact, I was wearing my BR skirt with a ruffle on the hem without a slip because it is lined and I realized that at the end of the day the fabric was getting puffy on the butt and did not look good at all.<br /> The next time I wore it with a slip and did not have that problem so slips may be a necessary evil. Now that you are all pointing out that you cannot even find them I will make a point to stash a few so that I will never run out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920851 Sun, 20 May 2018 12:05:29 +0000 kkards 1920851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i wonder if most women under that age of 30 even know what a slip is....that being said i don't wear them....like Toban if needed i like the Joceky slip shorts... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920850 Sun, 20 May 2018 12:00:51 +0000 RobinF 1920850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am much more likely to wear slip shorts than slips, although I have hung onto my old ones just in case. It was always hard for me to find ones the right length because I’m only 5’2” so I often felt like they were peeking out the bottom. Hated that.</p> <p>My 25 year old daughter does not wear slips and never has, and since they’re getting harder to find in stores I think they’ll soon be obsolete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920842 Sun, 20 May 2018 11:15:03 +0000 Toban 1920842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like wearing Jockey slip shorts under skirts and dresses — more because I find them comfortable to walk in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920837 Sun, 20 May 2018 10:10:38 +0000 Katerina 1920837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I don’t wear slips actually. The few dresses I wear are loose in shape, I never felt the need for one.<br /> Actually now, when I am thinking about it - I wear one, it came with a dark blue silk shirt dress, it is also in silk and the dress is not possible to use without it because it’s rather see through.<br /> Since you all are fond of slips, I will try this one with some other skirts and dresses, thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920830 Sun, 20 May 2018 09:10:13 +0000 Jane 1920830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear slips, but they are tough to shop for. I have two on which I absolutely rely; a camisole, so not a slip, and then a longer in the same style that is a slip. Love them both and I am thinking about the same combination in white. I bought them from Rigby and Peller. £££ but worth it. </p> <p>I have a few others, but they aren't the same quality and feel a bit cheap and a compromise. They don't really stop static for me. I have a lot of static problems and have to be super careful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-slips#post-1920821 Sun, 20 May 2018 06:30:25 +0000 rachylou 1920821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. And I also like Jockey slip shorts, I find them nonbinding. And I have a full slip of my mother’s from the 60s that I’m hanging onto for dear life... haven’t seen one in a store in decades. </p>
