How To Wear And Pair Your Slip Dress

The ‘90s-inspired slip dress is an effortless way to add some sex appeal to your summer look. But the versatile style can be a go-to for a number of summer activities. Not only does the slip dress’s vibe vary depending on length and fit, but accessories can, of course, totally dictate its use.
Here are my top ways to wear – and pair – a slip outside the bedroom, no matter what your summer plans entail.

WEDDING

Sick of your usual summer wedding guest attire? Try a floor-length slip dress like Anne Hathaway for a look filled with understated elegance. Pair yours with a hand chain for a whimsical flair.

1. Nili Lotan Alexa Gown ($695)
2. Bobi Island Maxi Dress ($84)
3. Gorjana Kelsi Quin Hand Chain Bracelet ($85)
DATE
For a simultaneously fun yet sultry date-night outfit, a body hugging slip dress like Selena Gomez’ will have you feeling like a million bucks. Worn with strappy heels and a swipe of kissable coral lipstick, you’re ready in 1-2-3.

4. Raquel Allegra Tie-Dyed Silk-Satin Slip Dress ($390)
5. Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandal ($415)
6. Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Fallen From The Lipstick Tree in Coachella Coral ($32)
BRUNCH
Casual-cool girl is totally what you want to channel for a brunch with friends. A slip dress worn with a jean jacket – a la Gigi Hadid – or sneakers – like Rihanna – will achieve just that.
TRY:

7. Sea Guipure Lace Slip Dress ($470)
8. Madewell The Jean Jacket ($118)
9. Adidas Stan Smith Sneaker ($75)
WORK
Sure, business attire and slip dresses generally don’t go hand-in-hand. However, if it’s a more modest cut and paired with a blazer like this street style star, it’s totally office-appropriate. We also recommend flats to prevent showing too much leg.
