How to Style a Slip Dress for Day and Night

How to Style a Slip Dress for Day and Night

A slip dress is elegant on its own and surprisingly versatile. Layer it and it works for day, night, and everything between.

For evening

  • Wear it alone with strappy heels and minimal jewelry
  • Add a statement earring and a clutch
  • A silk or satin fabric reads dressy

For daytime

  • Layer a tee or turtleneck underneath
  • Throw a denim or leather jacket on top
  • Swap heels for sneakers or ankle boots
  • Add a knit cardigan for cooler days

Styling notes

Choose a neutral or solid color for maximum versatility. A midi length is the most flattering and easy to wear.

The slip dress is the rare piece that transitions from brunch to dinner without a change.
