We all have a bit of 90’s nostalgia right now and for good reason. The decade’s style is back in a big way and many of us have vivid memories of our favorite stars like Kate Moss and Winona Rider stepping out in what are now iconic slip dress looks. There has been a major resurgence of the style and it’s become one of the most versatile pieces in today’s wardrobe. There are so many different ways to wear this sleek dress. It can take you to work, running errands, or out for dinner if you know how to style it right.
Own a slip dress but don’t know how to wear it to more than one occasion? Here are some of my favorite style ideas to incorporate a slip dress into more of your daily activities.
THE DOWNTOWN LOOK
For a more casual look with a street-style vibe, style your slip dress with retro white sneakers and a leather jacket. The slinky, luxe fabric of the slip dress is a nice balance against the masculine style of the sneakers and jacket. Don’t forget the socks & sunnies.
THE ALL BLACK LOOK
I love this black slip dress look with a blazer and cowboy boots. It transcends age and looks chic for so many different occasions. You can never go wrong with an all black look!
THE BELTED LOOK
Adding a waist belt to a slip dress is such a simple way to change the silhouette of the dress. To keep it on the casual side, wear with sneakers. Layering a denim jacket or a leather moto jacket over it like this look is a great way to wear this into the fall months.
THE UPTOWN LOOK
For a dressy update to the slip dress, layer a vest over it, add a chic bag, feminine pumps and simple jewelry. I love new ways to incorporate vests into my wardrobe and this styling trick feels really fresh.
THE LINGERIE LOOK
Wear a slip dress with lace trim to get in on the lingerie-inspired trend. This dress works hard so you can keep the rest simple with ballet flats or simple sandals.
THE LAYERED LOOK
A slip dress can be really versatile with a simple added layer on top. This cozy sweater adds a warm texture against the slinky skirt. With mesh shoes and your favorite accessories, you have a chic fall-time look.
THE SUMMER BRUNCH LOOK
This classic slip dress with flip flops, a raffia bag and an oversized blazer is the perfect relaxed summer morning look. She’s ready to head to brunch, the farmers market, or for a walk to get coffee with friends.
THE FALL STATEMENT-MAKING LOOK
Your summer slip dress just got an upgrade. Add a trench coat and an ankle-length boot to your dress to make a huge style statement this fall.
THE CLASSIC SUMMER LOOK
This is such an effortless style for those long summer days. Sometimes a simple silhouette and sandals is really all you need. This white slip dress can take you through the day and then out for a date night with ease.
THE 9 TO 5 LOOK
A midi length slip dress is a wardrobe staple that works hard (just like you). Styled with a black blazer and strappy sandals, it’s perfect to wear to the office for a chic work look.
THE FALL EVENT LOOK
An easy way to transition a slip dress into fall is to layer a matching cardigan in the cooler months. To dress it up a bit, wear a cowl neck slip dress with a pair of pumps. I love how chic this look is in a mix of neutral shades.
THE FORMAL EVENT LOOK
A silky slip dress with spaghetti straps is all you really need for a formal event. Pair with a matching, strappy heel and you have such an effortless look for all those weddings you’ve been invited to….best dressed guest anyone?
