My view is that the slip lace hem line should be on show below the hem line of the skirt. May not have been like that years ago, but recently women are buying skirt extenders which are basically short slips with long lace edging to ensure its on show below the hem line of their skirt. Where there is a spilt in the skirt the slip should be visible thought the split so it would cover the length of the skirt. The beige isn't my favourite colour for slips. I think they are worn where there is less intent to show the slip like nude colour tights. Black and white slips will always be the go to colours. My wife however had a navy blue half slip with a lace adorned split up the front which was worn under a coat dress of which my wife had many in the 80/90’s. For work she wore a flowing ankle length beige skirt but always wore a black half slip underneath when wearing tights. as always wear what you want and what suits the dress, skirt , blouse. My nan always wore a white full slip every day without fail, with lace bust and shoulder straps, lace hem a semi transparent blouse in peach white or cream. When she was unwell aged 85-89 I would often have to dress her so I know this to be so. she then just wore a dark pleated skirt with her blouse.
So there are no rules in my view. Just wear what you like.
Slip sliding away
Re: Slip sliding away
A whole new batch of "rules"?
Though I land in the old geezers box more in line with what crfriend and FLbreezy offered, most of what Satindea adds though shown in runway shows and some ads, strikes me as only for those who are seeking fashionista status or attention; and invite complications into their life trying to make even more elements combine in a pleasing way -- but I I completely concur with his conclusion: "So there are no rules in my view. Just wear what you like."
The color factor in my experience is only to make the slip "invisible" or at least not a distraction from the skirt. My default, if in doubt, is that a skin toned skip usually goes unnoticed, and obscures accidental flashes. The more sheer/translucent skirts create a greater challenge -- perhaps then you have a natural & pragmatic opportunity to use Satindea's thoughts on adding texture and color to your presentation.
