Slip

Maybe your dry cleaning hasn’t been returned yet. Maybe you can’t be bothered to do laundry tonight. Maybe your friend borrowed all of your favorite clothes, or you lost them, or you’re sick of them or anyway you’re staring deep into your closet and you’re just not seeing anything you want to wear . Do yourself a favor, and resuscitate a summertime favorite: the slip dress. Before you cry frostbite, have you considered pairing it with a turtleneck? We thought not. A slip dress and a turtleneck are the unlikely bedfellows and the deus ex machina of all bare dresser drawers: all nineties minimalism meets Kate Moss out on the town with Naomi Campbell and Johnny Depp. And the look has been popping up all over the office. Take it from Vogue.com Market Assistant Anny Choi, who came in a few weeks ago in a black silk slip dress and gray cashmere turtleneck and caused something of a sensation amongst our editors. “I had no clothes!” says Choi. “So I made do with what I had, and it actually worked. The turtleneck makes it work-appropriate, and the slip dress makes it a little . . . not, so it works for work and post-work!”

Aside from being a laundry-day savior, the slinky, frigid-temp-friendly combo is a great way to take your winter look out of the predictable closet doldrums of oversize sweaters and skinny jeans. “The slip dress is sort of a nod to summer but also acts as a great layering piece, and allows you to wear your typical winter garb in a new way,” says Vogue.com Market Assistant Elizabeth Taufield. “It also incorporates the idea of mixing seasons, something I think we all yearn for when our wardrobes are feeling dull.” And there is room for variation in the pared-back ensemble with other closet staples. Try the slip dress with a classic button-down or a T-shirt with a jacket thrown over. As for footwear, that can range from flatforms to a bootie with a chunky sock, to a knee-high boot with tights. And no matter what extras you choose, just remember, with a streamlined silhouette and a pair of cozily covered shoulders—you’ll be wearing the best of both worlds this winter.
