4 Ways to Wear the 90s Satin Slip Dress
by Millie Richardson, Copywriter
From Kate Moss to Winona Ryder and Princess Di, our favourite 90s style icons loved to don a slip dress. And it’s really not hard to see why: they’re great to throw-on and the sleek yet simplistic silhouette makes them the perfect piece to dress up or down.
Combine the 90s fashion revival with our love of do-it-all dresses and it’s safe to say we’ve never wanted one in our wardrobes more. So, the moment our £19.99 gold satin midi slip dress came into stock, we couldn’t help but snap it up immediately. Between the chic cowl neckline and soft satin fabric, it’s the dream piece to take you from desk to dinner to drinks and beyond.
Now, since we knew you’d want to get in on the satin slip fun (because who wouldn’t?), we’ve rounded up 4 ways to wear it. Whether you’re searching for the perfect pub garden ensemble or want to look extra dreamy for date night, prepare to be obsessed…
1. Pub-Garden-Ready
Al-fresco drinks are the perfect excuse to get dressed up again after months of sporting strictly loungewear. But of course, there is a fine line between dressed up and looking too OTT for what is often just casual drinks with friends.
This is where our satin slip comes in. It’s cute enough to cause compliments and versatile enough to pare down with a knit or denim jacket. Further the laissez-faire appeal with the addition of white trainers, sunglasses and the effortlessly-cool French girl staple: a trench coat.
2. For Everyday Outings
Whether you’re simply heading to the shops or going on a coffee run, our stylish slip is guaranteed to make day-to-day activities more exciting – and who wouldn’t want that?
Just be sure to keep it feeling laid-back by styling with a white tee, strappy sandals and minimal accessories - hoop earrings are a great shout. Sunny day? Feel more than welcome to incorporate one of Bella Hadid’s favourite 90s pieces: round black shades.
3. Dreamy on Date Night
Whilst our slip dress is sure to impress all on its own on date night, opt for bonus style points by channelling the head-to-tonal trend. To do this, elevate the piece with cream stilettos and a coordinating bag.
For the final touches, opt for a dainty chain necklace, gold hoop earrings and a Kim K-inspired swipe of nude lipstick. Dreamy or what?
4. Best Dressed at Brunch
The renowned 00s trend of wearing a nice dress over jeans is officially back. And when it looks this cute, and means our legs stay warm during outdoor meals, we’re not complaining.
Introduce our slip to your go-to jeans for your next brunch with the girls and add a claw clip and kitten heel mules for a subtle 90s touch. Finally, store your essentials in a sage shoulder bag – not only is the soft shade the colour of the season, but it will complement the neutral look flawlessly.
