8 Ways to Style a Slip Dress
Throw a chunky knit over it
What do you wear over a slip dress when it's cold? A chunky oversized jumper or textured cardigan layered over your slip dress keeps you warm without losing the silhouette.
An oversized, textured knit over a satin or silk slip is one of the easiest styling moves you can make. The proportions do the work for you - slouchy knit + slim slip = effortless balance.
Layering a slip dress under a cardigan offers even more versatility. It works for rainy autumn days, Sunday roasts (autumn-dresses-curation) , and post-work drinks.
Layer it over baggy jeans
For a casual layered look, style an asymmetrical slip dress over wide-leg trousers or baggy jeans. The dress becomes a tunic, and the jeans do the talking. Combine this with a baby tee or long-sleeved top to create a 00s-inspired fit. (y2k-90s-tops-curation)
Mini slip dresses with asymmetrical hems work best for this, as anything too long gets lost. Pair with oversized denim and let the proportions play off each other. It works for weekend markets, brunch with mates, and casual gigs. (concert-outfits-curation)
Add a vintage leather jacket (womens-coats-jackets)
The contrast of tough and romantic never gets old. A boxy, vintage-inspired leather jacket thrown over a satin or lace slip creates instant tension - the softness of the fabric against the weight of the leather feels intentionally effortless.
Look for a leather jacket that has that worn-in, borrowed-from-someone-cooler energy. This fit works for gig queues(concert-outfits-curation), date nights ’(going-out-outfits-curation) , and autumn evenings when one plan blurs into the next. (autumn-dresses-curation)
