7 Style Hacks for the Humble Slip Dress

#1. Wear it with socks and sneakers. Whether your slip dress cut from silk satin or soft linen, pairing it with sneakers will give it a cool, casual feel.

#2. Layer it over a pair of leggings. Adding a pair of pants to your slip dress will make slinkier styles feel more practical for running everyday errands.

#3. Toughen it up with leather boots. Swap your stilettos for combat boots and you’ll be ready for any weekend adventure.

#4. Accentuate your waist with a belt. Break up printed slips with a wide leather belt or opt for something more statement-making to embellish simpler styles.

#5. Pop a t-shirt on top. Turn your slip dress into a skirt by adding an extra layer. Knot the bottom of a printed tee to give you more shape and complete your look with sandals or sneakers.

#6. Tie sleeves around your waist. If you feel like your silk slip is too fancy for daytime, then tie a patterned shirt around your waist to break up the high-shine texture of satin.

#7. Get cosy with a jumper. Add some warmth but keep this barely-there dress the focus by layering your favourite jumper underneath.
