STYLING: SLIP DRESSES

Slip dresses have made a significant comeback in recent years, and for good reason. These sleek, simple garments are not only comfortable but also versatile. I am not sure how many different types of slip dresses I have at this point, but I like them because they can be dressed up for a night out or kept casual for a day at the beach. A slip dress can be styled in countless ways to suit any occasion. Let’s explore slip dresses, why they deserve a place in your wardrobe, and three of my favorite ways to style them.

Slip dresses, originally designed as undergarments, gained popularity as outerwear in the 1990s. They were a staple of the minimalist fashion movement, embodying a sense of effortless chic. Made from lightweight fabrics like silk, satin, or rayon, slip dresses are known for their smoothing, flowing silhouette and lack of structure. They can be worn in various lengths, from mini to maxi, and are often adorned with delicate straps or a simple V-neck.
