When I want to be my most stylishly sophisticated self, I always gravitate towards a maxi slip dress. The way the fabric and cut effortlessly drapes the body (no matter your body shape I must add), is unlike any other dress style, offering a look that feels elevated and elegant while also remaining chicly simplistic in its appearance. While 90’s style and classic camisole styles are always on trend, if you’re looking for a way to elevate your slip dress for the new season, I’ve got you (or at least my favourite influencers have as once again they’ve been providing all the inspiration).
When it comes to this season's trending slip dresses, it’s lingerie inspired lace trim styles that are leading the way taking the already luxe looking slip dress to a whole new level. So, just what makes the lace slip dress so good? Pairing both sophistication and simplicity with a little bit of sexiness thrown in for good measure, it’s a dress that exudes confidence. Looking as at home in the bedroom as they do in the streets or on your next night out, the lace trim slip dress is a chameleon style like no other.
Pair it with chunky boots and an oversized in the day then switch to kitten heel sandals and a for your next night out. Weather threatening to freeze? Layer a fitted roll neck underneath it or a chunky jumper over the top. However you choose to wear it, it’s a dress that’s going to provide endless styling opportunities all year long.
Wondering just which lace trim slip dress to go for? Sir’s slip dresses are a favourite among influencers and celebrities alike including the ever chic Kelly Rutherford. While most recently, Dakota Johnson wore Gucci at the Bulgari party in New York proving the designers do this trend well. That’s not to say you can’t branch out however, the high street is awash with chic lace trim slip dresses in autumnal tones like and warm rust shades.
My favourite has to be Rat & Boa’s sultry sheer leopard print style which taps into AW24’s now. Yes it may seem intimidating with it’s sheer lace top however with smart , like nipple pasties or even a coordinating black triangle bra, it can be totally wearable if you don’t want to let everything show. So, without further ado, here’s my edit of the best lace trim slip dresses.
