Slips

Its had so many reinventions lately, we barely remember why we loved it enough to keep it around in the first place. Simple. Nothing else moves like it does. When you find a well cut slip in the right fabric it is one of those pieces of clothing that actually looks better on a real body than it does hanging off a hanger. And we do not say that lightly. Here you will not find the slip as throwback or the slip as mere trend. You will find the slip as something genuinely useful that earns its place in your working wardrobe. Whether thats the satin number you wear out to dinner with heeled mules then again at home on a Sunday with an oversized sweater layered overtop or the bias cut style that actually drapes like it should because the fabric has been cut correctly rather than sold cheap and hoped for the best. Cotton slips that work for living your actual life in summer, not just artfully arranged styled shoots on a rooftop. Weve been highly selective with these picks because trust us, the category is rife with pieces that photograph one way but feel incredibly disappointing as soon as you slip them on. Layers with slips obviously matter too. Something under a sheer top or knit dress will change the look completely so we have taken care to find slips that layer beautifully all over. We looked for pieces that sit flat under your clothes, without bunching, clinging or riding up. Which cuts out a lot more options than youd think. Trust us, a slip thats great at layering is surprisingly difficult to track down. Length is another detail we considered carefully. Midi slips that skim the ankle and feel inherently elevated. Mini slips that never quite cross over to sexual.Entries that hit everywhere in between depending what your wearing it for and what youre pairing it with. The point is the range is intentional. A slip for a summer wedding guest outfit versus a slip for a Saturday in the city are two completely different briefs and we edited with that in mind. Its the thing that ties your outfit together without screaming look at me I have a slip dress on. It rewards paying attention to details.
