Underwear as Outerwear- Do you dare?

Here’s a resurgent trend I’m fiercely fond of- the underwear as outerwear craze. Specifically- the incorporation of slips into the daily wardrobe. There’s something so ethereal about a piece of gauzy fabric peeking out beneath a typical item of clothing. It’s unexpected, it's bold, and it combines the innocence of cream/peach colored lace with the inherently suggestive nature of sleepwear.

the slip dress

This can be as simple and sweet as a plain slip dress. The dress pictured above takes typical the little black dress (essential to every girl’s wardrobe) and makes it lighter, silkier, and less structured. This style reinvents underwear for day time and is actually make to be worn as a dress.

slips can be worn as skirts as well

Paired with a slate colored sweater and tall leather boots, this gossamer undergarment becomes playfully edgy.

The incorporation of the slip into the daily wardrobe is easy to embrace

use it as an accent

allow a ruffled or crinkled slip to peek out beneath a dress for contrast of color and texture

or go BOLD

Wear a full-length slip as an outer garment- even when you can see what's underneath

No matter how you choose the spice up your wardrobe with slips- be confident, but be classy- wear enough undergarments to assure people that you didn't forget to finish getting dressed before leaving the house! :)
