Make The ‘90s Slip Dress Your Summer Staple

While trends of the past come and go, there’s some that remain in our wardrobe regardless of what’s heading down the runways that year.

Popularised by Kate Moss in the ‘90s, the slip dress is one of them with its simple, slinky silhouette that transcends seasons, occasions and personal styles.

If you’re yet to invest in the iconic staple — or want to breathe new life into your own nostalgic collection — scroll on for the slip dress looks we’re taking inspo from this summer. ☀️

1. Monochrome Mood

Like the beloved ‘90s number, monochrome colour palettes never go out of style – they also never look out of place, so work for whatever your day has in store. Following the lead of Ashley Roberts, let a black slip dress take you from morning errands to date night by pairing with a striped top and the chicest of accessories – Audrey Hepburn-style sunnies. 🕶️

2. Bright Side

Is it really summer if you haven’t embraced starburst brights into your rotation? We think not. This street style star has got the memo, opting for a hot pink slip and matching blazer combo. Offset with black platform sandals and a zebra-print bag for maximum impact. 🦓

3. In Print

Whether it’s a smart-casj brunch or day at the office, take your style cue from Vanessa Hudgens who toughens up a strawberry-motif slip with black loafers and chunky gold earrings. Throw on a leather-look tote or cross-body to finish. 🍓

4. Block Party

If you’re yet to try dopamine dressing (i.e. wearing as many rainbow hues as possible), we’d bet that’s about to change. This colour-block look features a dreamy baby-blue slip that’s perfect for wedding season or birthday celebrations. Ramp up the cool with retro white shades. 🌈
