How to Style a Slip Dress in 24 Classy Ways
I want to give you some ideas for how to style a slip dress.
Learning how to style this staple piece in different ways will give you lots of mileage. Let's get started.
1. Minimal
Keep things simple. Wear your slip dress with a nice necklace. Add a simple belt at the waist.
2. Minimal elevated
Wear a pair of dangly earrings. Put on a pair of classy-looking heels. Carry a fancy purse or clutch to polish off the look.
3. Edgy chic
Wear a sheer cover-up over your shoulders. Choose a fun color and wear a belt with matching shoes. Add a bag in the same color to pull it all together.
4. Glam
Add some glamour with a statement piece. I’m using a fluffy green sweater. A fur coat or a nice shawl can work for this look.
5. Casual Friday
Wear your slip dress with a nice three-button blazer. Put on a pair of casual shoes and a matching bag. Push your sleeves around the elbows for a more relaxed feel.

Put on a classy one-button blazer and pair the look with some gorgeous heels. Add some sunglasses and a great bag.
7. High contrast
Try adding a white blazer and belt to a black slip dress. Sunglasses and a white purse will complete the look.

Wear a loose and casual brown sweater over your slip dress. Pull on some slip-on shoes and carry a bag with a bit of a beachy vibe to it.

Dress down a slip dress for a casual walk on the beach. Slip on a pair of flip-flops and a sheer cover-up. Accessorize with a sun hat and sunglasses.
