The 20 best slip dresses for all occasions in 2023

One of the hottest trends of late (that we predict will stay for a long, long time) is the ever-so-classic slip dress. Think: your finest lingerie with a modern-day twist.

This twist, precisely, means your silky, satin-feeling toss-ons can be worn outdoors and styled in a variety of ways. From pairing one with your most comfortable heels to layering it with a moto jacket and some white sneakers, you’ll be the next best-dressed in the streetwear department.

To nod to the warmer days ahead — and, to have you feeling both casual and stylish (whatever you so choose) — we curated an edit of the 20 best slip dresses for that feel-good glam you’ll want to consistently replicate.

Some of these options below are the classic maxi and midi, while others have more of a signature cut-out style you can’t help but add to your cart. Not to mention, you’ll want to style one of these for the upcoming wedding you have on your calendar — the modern take on the trusty cocktail dress.

Racking up more than 6,000 rave reviews on Amazon for its “silky and soft material” and “serving the purpose” look, the Coreal Full Slip Dress is a less-than-$25 option that can either be layered by itself or worn underneath a dress. Plus, it comes in a rainbow of riveting colors.
