violent than "slits."
If designing a skirt for a man, typically robust and active (not that
women aren't equally so) and getting in and out of vehicles a lot,
two 2 1/2 inch trim-tabs on either side functions better than one
5 inch trim-tab on the back. And less chance for exposure. On my
denim skirt that has these, they are at the bottom of side-seams.
Okay... if "slit" is too violent, then 'walking vent'...

Most of my skirts are like this girl's, if the vent keeps the shape of the skirt tapered inwards which is the style I prefer, it's good. I prefer a more snug fit as it can keep me warm in colder months. I asked a female friend what she thought of my skirt, and she said it looked nice, but she advised me that satin look or skirts with slits on either side was a little slutty, especially if the vent/trim-tab/slit (delete as appropriate
) was too high. I generally prefer dark colours like black or navy, sometimes grey, but no real issues with work which is nice. The only disadvantage is low seating, so some may inadvertantly get a view up your skirt, which is where a slip helps, even though most of my skirts are lined. My female friend told me that exposure is just part of the territory, and not to worry about it. I also make sure none of my slips are longer than my skirts which can just look messy. I am slowly getting the hang of this...
