Three ways to wear the slip dress

A slip dress is the least complicated thing in the archive and the one people ask about most. It is also the piece most likely to sit unworn because it feels too dressed up. Here is how to bring it down to earth.

01 — Daylight

Knee socks and flat shoes. The socks break the leg line and take the dress out of evening territory immediately. Keep jewellery to one piece.

02 — Layered

Pull a printed hoodie over the top and let the satin hem show underneath. This is the single easiest cold-weather outfit in the whole line and it photographs beautifully in low light.

03 — Late

Dress alone, hair down, one dark lip. Nothing else. The fabric is doing all the work — anything added competes with it.

If an outfit needs explaining, take one thing off.
