While your mother may say that slip dresses should remain firmly under wraps, the spring/summer runways beg to differ. Slip dresses in a cacophony of colours sashayed down the runway at Dries Van Noten, Victoria Beckham, Pucci and Tom Ford, affording a sensuality to the season’s wardrobe. The slip dress is most commonly associated with lingerie thanks to the slip’s origins as a garment worn under sheer dresses. Modern iterations callback to its beginnings with lace inserts, sheer fabrics and cascading satin, while others stand alone in shocking brights and dizzying patterns.
The slip dress has emerged as a sartorial hero this summer; it marries a throw-it-on ease with an elegance that makes one instantly appear put-together. As we transition into autumn, swap stilettos for biker boots and layer under knitwear for a day-to-day ensemble that knocks its sensuality down a notch. Prefer to dial it up? Team with barely-there kitten heels, statement high jewellery and an up-do that displays the décolletage. Shop MOJEH‘s picks below.
