The Slip Dress Never Actually Left, It Just Changed Fabric

A slip dress started as literal underwear before nineties minimalists pulled it into eveningwear, and the bias-cut silhouette has been quietly present ever since. What changes between eras is the fabric, from cool satin to cotton and linen versions built for daytime. This roundup covers eight takes on the slip dress, from FARM Rio's printed cotton to Theory's structured satin.

Golden Hour Has A Dress Code

Late sun is weighted to the red end, which is why gold reads and silver goes grey. Eight long dresses, eight plated gold pieces from $85, and heels with a base wide enough for a garden.

Larroude Sandals Are The Raffia Answer To Summer

Larroude sandals come from a house that started in 2019 with an unusual premise, which was building shoes on demand rather than forecasting a season. The raffia work is where that shows most clearly. These are the current platform and sport styles.

Checking Into Hotel Dressing

Hotel dressing has quietly become a real aesthetic, driven by the way people travel and photograph now. The reference is the lobby, the spa robe and the room-service breakfast rather than the airport or the beach. This edit treats the grand hotel as a styling brief: soft tailoring, good textures, nothing that needs ironing.

Dressing For City Heat

No swimming to break the day up and air conditioning at every door. Eight linen separates, eight loose tops from $90 and eight totes with structure.
