5 Ways to Style a Black Slip Dress
Why Slip Dresses
I picked up a black slip dress awhile back and it’s quickly become a wardrobe staple of mine! I of course love anything black and the slip style allows for so many cute outfits to be made. The key to a dress like this is layering and really having fun with accessories. Now is the time to go crazy so have fun snd keep reading to see how I’d wear the dress!
Elegant Style
Hat; Sunglasses; Dress; Heels
Hat; Sunglasses; Dress; Heels
I shot this outfit in front of two locations and honestly love how both turned out!! With a simple dress like this, sometimes the best way to wear it is with some simple heels and a hat. I would wear this to a girls night out, or you can remove the hat and wear this to a cocktail party with a simple low ponytail. Either way, less is more when styling an outfit like this; the focal point should really just be the dress!
Downtown Style
Sunglasses; Jacket; Dress; Bag (similar); Sneakers
I find this next style to be so fun and easy to wear to a brunch or afternoon adventure. For casual summer outfits, a pair of white sneakers is always a good idea. They keep the outfit clean but accessible to any sort of situation. To keep the outfit ready for daytime, I added a shorter jean jacket and a belt bag. I would recommend a more colored bag option, but my clear bag works just as well. Belts can add some nice dimension to any dress and for a slip in particular, can bring definition to your waist!
Western Style
Lately I have really been enjoying western inspired styles! I hope to visit Texas and Tennessee after the quarantine, so my style is slowly starting to reflect that. For this outfit, I think the key is playing with textures. I love the corduroy mixed with the satin and snake print boots. Some of the coolest outfits have a lot of visual interest which this outfit totally encompasses! It’ll be perfect for a dinner out or a concert 😍
Graphic Tee Style
If you’ve been following along for awhile, you knew this outfit was coming 😉 I am obsessed with graphic tees and they go so well with dresses like this!! I personally opt to wear tees the same color as the dress and really let the graphic pop on the outfit. To keep this look casual, I recommend wearing some little sneakers and perhaps tying your hair back. This is a great look for everyday and the knot in the tee helps to once again bring shape to this dress!
Sporty Style
Sunglasses; Sweatshirt; Bag (similar); Dress; Sneakers
I don’t know what it is about an outfit like this but I love adding a sporty flavor to dresses like this. The cropped sweatshirt goes so well with the dress and the belt bag really completes the look for me. I would wear this out on the town with my friends or to a brunch. It’s also a great option for after the gym when you want to get out of workout wear but still remain comfortable. Plus, nothing beats a cropped sweatshirt and skirt 😜
