IF YOU take one key message away from the spring/summer 2016
catwalks, it's this: slip dressing is back. Silky, sinuous dresses,
camisoles and bias-cut skirts were a staple in numerous
collections, not least Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Céline, Calvin Klein and Burberry. All of which conspires to mean we
want to wear them immediately.
Don't worry about the fluctuating autumnal temperatures. Slips
lend themselves to layering. A fine-knit polo neck underneath a
slip dress will keep you warm; alternatively channel Nineties Kate Moss and wear with a giant
rollneck jumper on top, or with a sports sweater like Ursina Gysi,
for a Vetements-style statement. As for footwear,
chunky flatforms or ankle boots look less provocative than spiky
heels or strappy sandals.
Length is key. Too short looks too come-to-bed; midi or
floor-length looks more modern. Try wearing one under a skirt or
another dress, so you can see a bit of lace poking out underneath
the hem. Or just opt for a silk camisole worn under a biker jacket
with jeans.
