How to Style a Slip Dress: Outfits for Work, Weddings & More

A slip dress is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Its clean, minimalist silhouette makes it the perfect canvas for layering, accessorizing, and experimenting with textures.

A slip dress is a lightweight, usually satin or silk dress with a simple, spaghetti-strap silhouette. Known for its fluid drape and minimalist cut, it’s a versatile piece that works with countless layering options, making it wearable year-round.

Why it’s still in style:

• Minimalist and timeless

• Easy to dress up or down

• Works for layering in all seasons

You can style a slip dress by layering it with sweaters, cardigans, or jackets, pairing it with sneakers for casual days, or adding heels and jewelry for formal occasions.

For work, wear it with a blazer and ankle boots; for weddings, add delicate accessories and strappy heels; for winter, layer with tights, boots, and a chunky knit.
