Slip dresses are a gal's best friend. The low-maintenance piece has long been a closet favourite for those obsessed with '90s minimalism. As summer approaches in snail time (fingers crossed we get a bout of sun after this cyclone!) it's having its annual resurgence. It’s almost too good to be true—but it’s certainly true, and boy, it’s good.

They’re fit for a relaxed Sunday coffee run, your next lavish event, or a summer wedding. Most slip dresses, with their fluid, slightly looser-fitting shape, easily accommodate whatever activities are on the agenda. While classic shirt dresses and ribbed-out maxis remain popular, one of fashion’s favourite silhouettes is the tried-and-true slip dress. As we welcome our summer with open arms, your slip dress will be at your side always. Just slip her on and pair it with ANYTHING. That silky slip you bought for your bestie’s springtime dinner party will look great with tights, knee-high boots, and your chunkiest vintage cardigan. But if you're in the market for something fresh, lux, and new to add to your closet we’ve done the groundwork. Scroll through to shop our edit for the slip dresses we love.
