15 Cute Ways to Wear a Slip Dress

15 Cute Ways to Wear a Slip Dress Of all things ’90s, our favorite closet hero from the nostalgic years has got to be the slip dress. It’s everything we want in a garment after all: comfy, sultry, and universally flattering. But just how did this loungewear earn its place beyond the boudoir? Find out below and scroll down further to discover how you can maximize its sartorial potential.

FOR THE OFFICE:

1. Add a pullover

Slip dresses usually come in thin, satin fabric, which may be a little to slinky when worn to the office. Balance off its sultriness by layering a relatively thicker material. Chunky knitted sweaters are perfect to achieve this; not to mention, it will keep you warm while working.

2. Put on a blazer

If you need an outfit add-on that will turn your look into something boardroom meeting-ready, your trusty blazer will accomplish this feat without a fuss. But don’t succumb to the usual neutral palettes. Add a pop of color into your attire by opting to pair your blazer with a brightly-hued slip. Think happy, warm tones like yellow, orange, or maybe hot pink to keep you from looking too plain.

3. Layer over pants

As you’ve noticed, a slip dress can be a tad too sexy for the office, thus the goal is to offset its allure. So for casual Fridays, you can opt to layer your slinky dress over a pair of denim jeans. If you can’t wear sleeveless pieces to the office, add a cute jacket or a button-down to make the look more work-appropriate.

4. Go for a dual-toned look

Make a simple shirt and slip combo look extra profesh by opting for a two-toned outfit. Choose one neutral and one bold hue to make a statement. Keep things modest by wearing a long-sleeved top underneath your slip of choice. Put on a pair of heels and ace that meeting!

5. Style with a button-down shirt

Turn the slip into your office uniform by wearing it with another closet staple: a button-down shirt. Experiment with different color combinations to keep your looks effortlessly varied.
FOR A CASUAL DAY:

7. Wear with something floral

For a brunch date with your gals, wear a nude slip and layer it with your favorite floral shirt dress. Show off the slip by treating the button-down dress as a light trench. Cinch your waist with a belt and complete your look with a pair of cute mules.

8. Stay comfy with a cardigan

Who says you can’t be fab when at home? For casual stay-at-home lunches or merienda, stay stylish in your slip dress by adding a comfy cardigan on top.

9. Go sporty

Slips can fit your athleisure style, too. Don’t be afraid to pair your fave slip dress with chunky sneakers. You’ll easily balance the slinky look of the dress with the comical bulkiness of your beloved dad shoe.

10. Make use of a button-down shirt

Your favored office button-down can also be your slip dress’ chic add-on. Look summer-ready with a seductive slip and a linen button-down knotted haphazardly around your waist. This nonchalance is what makes the look uncomplicated, easy, and comfy.

FOR A NIGHT OUT

11. Learn to color-block

Get creative with your slip and intimate wear. Bright slips will look extra stylish when worn over colored bralettes.

12. Go printed for a beach soiree

When on the beach, night parties can feel extra hot so you can’t afford to feel sticky in dark-colored pieces. Hence, keep the look party-ready by opting for printed pieces—plus points if they’re bold and tropical!

13. Toughen it up with your choice of footwear

If heels aren’t your thing, try combat boots to add a bit more edge and grunge to your slip dress as you party the night away.

14. Opt for thigh-high slits

Bare more skin with a slip dress that has slits that go way up your thighs. You can compensate by wearing your shirt over your tee if you don’t feel like going hubadera all the way. Don’t forget your layered necklaces for a touch of glam.

15. Show your wild side

Sartorially, that is. Animal-printed slips are the au courant versions of this vintage piece so don’t fall behind and ride the trend!
