The slip dress: One slinky trend you don't have to (and shouldn't) reserve for the bedroom.
Lingerie as street wear is as taboo as it is acceptable and that's what makes wearing it so fun. You might not be ready to go full-dominatrix in strappy cage bras, but test driving the trend with a simple slip dress is less intimidating than you think. Not only does this particularly sultry and shapeless undergarment look amazing on its own, but it also makes a great laying piece.
Whether you're just in need of new outfit ideas or you're looking for a little inspiration to shake things up, try one of these four fresh ways to style a slip dress on for size.
Tee Time
Wear your t-shirt underneath for a little extra coverage and style. It comes in handy when you're purposefully playing down the look for casual weekend hangs. Bonus pro tip: Add stackable rings to each hand for major flair!

Tie Something On

Top It Off
Give your slip dress some added edge by throwing a bomber jacket over top. Wear the outfit with ankle strap heels while it's still hot, and transition to boots when it gets chilly. Say hello to the perfect date-night outfit.

Keep It Soft
For an easy dinnertime look, pair your slip dress with a soft, open sweater. When it comes to the actual dress, don't be afraid to play with color, but keep your accessories on the minimal side.
