9 Ways to Wear a Slip Dress This Summer
Slip dresses are one of those trends that just never quite go away. In the ‘90s, it was all about metallic versions; a few years ago, lace was en vogue; and now? Anything goes. Street style stars and celebs alike have been spotted in the style over the past few months — pairing their silk slips with everything from faux fur jackets to plain white tees.
Though this week’s style set went a slightly more minimal route, there was plenty of inspiration to take away. Check out the latest looks ahead, and expect to see a lot more slips around.
