The piece

How to choose and wear a slip dress

A bias-cut dress on thin straps, usually in satin or silk. Elegant at night, and relaxed by day with a knit or tee layered over or under it.

How to choose

  • Heavier satin or silk skims the body; thin satin clings.
  • Midi length is the most versatile.
  • Black, champagne, burgundy and deep green.

Common mistakes

  • Visible bra straps if you want it to look polished.
  • Thin satin in bright daylight without a layer.
  • Chunky, sporty shoes when the look is evening.

Care: Hand wash or dry clean; steam, never iron satin directly.

In a capsule: The evening dress of a capsule that also works in daytime with a knit.
