Fashion Uniform:
Slip Dress + Sweater + Slides

Arguably one of the most enduring fashion moments of the ‘90s, the slip dress is a wardrobe gift—which with the right modern revamps—has the potential to keep on giving. And it’s not limited to bare-shoulder season, either: the seamless, lightweight silhouette makes it a natural base layer for more substantial outfits. Below, some conveniently color-coordinated styling hints.

• Just Peachy

  While it’s best to err on the side of minimalism, the introduction of animal print—even in the tiniest dose, like say, a pointy-toed slide—adds nuance to an all-neutral color palette.
