Fall might be coming soon but don’t get rid of your slip dresses just yet. The slinky summer signature still works when temperatures drop, and the best way to restyle them is not difficult nor dressed-up. All it takes is the simple addition of a cardigan. The snug sweater has a way of cutting the sexiness of a slip, making it wearable for daytime occasions as well. In fact, it has become the go-to look for Vogue Market Editor Anny Choi, who sports the combo from the cubicle to a night out. “Instead of looking for a chic, covered-up dress like a dress with a sleeve, why not put a cardigan over what you already have?” says Choi. “It is an effortless look.”
Want to try? If you’re looking for a splash of color for a cocktail party, opt for Theory’s fuchsia maxi dress with a black Everlane cardigan. Need something more pared-back? Rag Bone’s iridescent dress and a camel cardigan by Aritzia make a polished and elevated getup. For that full ’90s mood, try matching similar hues, like a purple slip gown by Nili Lotan and a pink cashmere sweater by White + Warren. Not a bad way to chicly slip into the cooler season.
Here, shop the seven best slip dresses and cardigans to wear now.
