Wear a Slip Dress

You can never go wrong with a slip dress! Layer one over a printed tee and ta-da! – you've got a fresh, personalized look. Want to dress it up? Add a statement heel and gold jewelry. Would you rather dress it down? Try a platform sneaker and playful sunnies. See, when it comes to the slip dress, the outfitting possibilities are endless.

Even our best-dressed employees can't stop singing the silky little number's praises! Here are just some of the things we've overheard around the office: A slip dress can be worn in so many different ways! They're so easy and flattering! I love how effortless the silhouette looks on my body!

Now that we've got your attention, you're probably wondering – how do I wear a slip dress? Here are five easy-pretty ways our employees styled this ever-versatile piece, from sporty to casual to feminine.

Whether you work in an AC-chilled office or are just looking to tone down a bright piece, a laidback summer sweater tied over a sleek slip dress is equal parts cool and casual. "Layers always make me feel and look more put together – even if I'm just bumming around the house," says Designer Alexis Lam. "Plus, I’m a total sucker for off-beat hues – and this tangerine orange is a stunner."

Proof that slip dress outfits don't always have to be dressy: this playful high-low pairing modeled by Associate Designer Sarah Mraz. "I absolutely love how the lilac cardigan looks with the deep emerald green dress – plus, it's great for those cooler summer nights," she says. For a similar vibe, try throwing on a cute jacket with chunky gold hoops!

It's hard to compete for attention with such a bold, effortless slip dress, but these sporty sandals are the perfect complement to its neon citron color. "I wanted the slip dress to feel simple but chic, so I added my favorite accessories to elevate the look," says Associate Designer Bree Saya. Bonus style points if you layer on a couple of delicate gold necklaces for balance!

What you wear should make you happy, and what could be happier than a vibrant and versatile shade of violet? (Hint: not much.) Since Design Director Megan Quinn Albert's days involve running around with her daughter (literally), she needs easy, cheery outfits only. Cue this tee + sneaker combo: "The t-shirt made it perfect for a day look – at night, to dress it up, I'd style the slip without the tee," she says.
