Fall fashion just got effortlessly chic with the versatile slip dress for fall.

This timeless wardrobe staple is making a strong comeback for the autumn season, and I’m here for it.

Whether you’re a fan of minimalistic style or love to play with layers, the slip dress is your go-to piece for creating stylish and polished fall outfits.

Why slip dresses are perfect for fall

They are the perfect fall piece of clothing because they can be easily layered and usually fall between the knees and ankles at the midi length which is perfect for the autumn weather. The beauty of the slip dress lies in its ability to easily transition from day to night.

Try these casual fall outfit ideas with a slip dress (this is the perfect Thanksigving outfit as well!):

Pair your slip dress for fall with a cozy knit sweater over it and ankle boots for a casual and comfortable look that’s perfect for a day of pumpkin picking or apple cider sipping.

Alternatively, layer it with a leather jacket and flat boots for an edgy and cool vibe.

Add a blazer and heels for a sophisticated office ensemble, or accessorize with statement jewelry and strappy heels for a glamorous evening look.

This is the best way to transition a slip dress from day to night in the fall!

What colors are best for a Fall slip dress

Autumn colors usually are tan, beige, brown, red, maroon, black, and navy. Slip dresses are usually pieces you want to have in a neutral color so you can layer as mentioned.

It’s always fun to throw in a summery color – like the yellow a yellow or purple too and style it for fall.

Slip dresses are the perfect look to wear to a winery as well!

Can you wear a slip dress to a wedding?

This question gets asked a lot on Reddit and Google and my answer is usually a firm no.

Slip dresses are more casual and they typically come off that way. There are slip dresses that can be more formal like this Staud one here but this dress almost doesn’t even fall into the slip dress category.

On Reddit, I have noticed users asking if slip dresses are appropriate for a garden wedding or a more informal wedding to which I still would advise against but if it is a garden and casual wedding – then that would be more appropriate.

Pro tip: I like to warn also that slip dresses are usually made of silk or silk like material and in photos they cling to your body and show everything! I have often found, if I am going to an event where there is going to be a lot of photos taken, to steer away from slip/silk like material.

What to Wear Under a Slip Dress?

The best undergarment wear is either from Commando or Spanx. Both have some excellent shapewear options.

Commando’s classic mini cami slip is a lightweight slip that is great for a slip dress that isn’t fitted.

Spanx’s OnCore High-Waisted Mid-Thigh Short is a compression short that goes all the way up to the underside of the bust and down to the mid thigh – that is excellent for a tight dress.
