I like having pieces in my closet that can be worn throughout each season and in various ways. This dress will easily do well in the fall with a solid crew neck tee underneath and either a pair of booties, thigh high boots or sneakers. Depending on how the temperatures are where you live, this could even be a transitioning piece to wear in the Winter. I personally don’t care for turtlenecks but I may be able to stand a long sleeved mock neck top to tie in an edgy look with a motto jacket for the perfect work to dinner transition.
5 Ways to Style a Slip Dress
Add a Blazer
Any classy and sophisticated version of an outfit is right up my alley. I’m also always cold so if I choose this dress even in the Summer for a dinner date with the girls or beau, I won’t compromise the sass when I throw a blazer over it because the temperature in the restaurant is uncomfortable for me.
**Add a pair of sneakers with your Slip Dress & Blazer look for a chic streetstyle look.
Accessorize
Playing with accessories with an outfit is always fun & this simple slip dress is no different. Consider adding a chain belt to create a waist line if you’re wanting to go for something sleek and sexy without adding too much to take away from the overall simple look of the dress itself. Finish the look with an animal print clutch & strappy heels.
Dress it Up
Wedding season is approaching which means the hunt for the perfect wedding guest dress/outfit is on. You’re sure to get tons of compliments going with this choice, without taking the spotlight from the bride. Get best dressed with a bold open toe shoe or closed toe pump like this Steve Madden sandal, shoulder bag & soft jewelry pieces and get nothing but head turns and approval nods. Just make sure your date is just as dapper and chic.
Dress it Down
Throw a jean jacket over your shoulders or transform the look completely with a graphic tee knotted at the side or in front making your slip dress appear like a silk skirt. You’ll get the effect of a skirt without having to continuously adjust it throughout the day to make sure its shifted correctly. Add the jean jacket for a casual vibe & lose the graphic tee & use the jean jacket alone for a stylish look to weekend errand running.
Tone it Down
If you’re not comfortable with the thin straps or are just wanting the look of a slip dress but with a turned down sexy tone, adding something underneath could be the solution. A crew neck t-shirt, tank or button down will give you the right amount of modesty you’re looking for.
