What Is a Slip Dress?
A slip dress is a lightweight dress with thin straps, usually cut from satin or silk-like fabric, inspired by the slips once worn as underwear.
Start searchingGood to know
Slip dresses are often cut on the bias so they drape softly over the body. They became a minimalist staple in the 1990s.
They are surprisingly versatile: dressy on their own for evening, casual layered over a tee or under a knit.
How to wear it
For evening, add heels and a blazer; for day, layer a slip dress over a white tee or under a chunky sweater with boots.
