Although a slip dress can be pretty daring, there’s always a way to transform the look. Pair it with a fitted t-shirt or a button down blouse if you don’t want to show too much skin. Add jeans and a fun pair of pumps to add in the cool factor.

What’s that you say? It’s time to hit the town with bae? That’s what this dress was made for!. Ditch the T-shirt and throw on a pair of sexy mules to kick things up a notch.

You can never go wrong with a black motocycle jacket (and boots)– especially when you want to get edgy with your look. The slip dress retains just the right amount of softness to the otherwise hard-core ensemble.
