Slip dresses have endured the test of time and become truly timeless wardrobe classics. While the popularity of slip dresses fluctuates with the fashion cycle, there isn’t a more on-trend piece for fall 2022 than the slip dress—just one aspect of the elevated essentials rebirth that is front and centre in the F/W 22 collections.
While several labels are reintroducing traditional shapes in silky satin, there are also many improvements to the dresses that are worth highlighting for fall. Despite being a closet staple, one of the most remarkable aspects about the dresses is how far from basic many of them are. From Bottega Veneta’s elaborately embellished styles with sequins and embellishments to Fendi’s fully sheer pastel pieces with exposed undergarments to Saint Laurent’s stunning floor-sweeping designs. More on the slip dress trend that will define fall fashion follows.
Satin Slip Dresses
If you’re opting for a more traditional look, add some directional styling by tying a sweater in a different colour around your waist. This was seen all over the F/W 22 runways (whether combined with a slip dress or not), and the tied-sweater trend is also expected to be popular this autumn.
Lace-Trimmed Slip Dresses
The lovely, lace-trimmed slip dresses seen in the F/W 22 collections are evocative of Phoebe Philo’s Celine designs. If you’re one of the numerous Philophiles out there, this is the piece to add to your fall wardrobe.
Maxi Slip Dresses
Dramatic, sweeping hemlines dominated the fall runways, so expect to see maxi lengths everywhere this season. Long slip dresses are among the main elements to purchase.
Embellished Slip Dresses
As previously stated, slip dresses are evolving far beyond the basics. As an example, consider This Bottega Veneta gown features sequins, flower embellishments, lace, and several layers.
Sheer Slip Dresses
For fall, fashion is turning completely transparent, and Fendi is just one of several brands embracing the trend. While there are virtually no restrictions on how to wear sheer garments right now, see-through slip dresses stand out.
