The slip dress has made a triumphant return, channeling the effortless glamour of the 1990s. But styling this iconic piece goes beyond simply wearing nightwear as daywear. Here are three fresh ways to wear it this season.
Layer with a T-shirt
For a casual yet chic look, pair your slip dress with a simple T-shirt underneath. Choose a classic white tee for contrast or a graphic version for a playful twist. Complete the outfit with chunky sandals and a crossbody bag. Add a slick of lipstick for instant polish.
