8 Lacy Dress and Slip Skirt Outfits That Add a Sultry Touch to Your Fall Capsule Wardrobe

According to De Sole, Chloé’s lace-trimmed, asymmetrical silk-satin midiskirt deserves the top spot on your fall shopping wish list. Styling-wise, it stars alongside Massimo Dutti’s funnel-neck bomber jacket, Polo Ralph Lauren’s grungy flannel shirt, and a pair of calf-hair adorned ballet flats from Reformation. Searching for another catwalk-to-closet classic? Prada’s powder blue slip skirt adds a welcome pop of color to even the simplest of outfits this fall. We’re wearing ours with Banana Republic’s chunky cable-knit sweater, a pair of brown suede penny loafers from Saint Laurent, and, to top it all off, J.Crew x Christopher John Roger’s gold-foil barn jacket. Black-and-white lacy slip skirts and dresses from Zara, Róhe, and Victoria Beckham are the ultimate minimalist must-haves. The latter acts as your go-to soirée staple this holiday season, enhanced only by The Frankie Shop’s winter white overcoat, a pair of kitten-heel pumps from By Far, and Cos’s sequin evening clutch. Honorable mention goes to Saint Laurent’s after-hours, lace-trimmed LBD and J.Crew’s icy-blue satin slip skirt–two sultry staples that will last for seasons in your rotation, not just the right now.

Thinking Pink

Of all the fall colors to consider this season, powder pink is an undeniable choice. We even saw it sprinkled throughout the spring runways, too, at Khaite, The Row, and even Gucci. This season, take part with Siédres’s lace-trimmed slip skirt. Styling-wise, we love how it looks juxtaposed with The Frankie Shop’s oversized leather jacket and a pair of over-the-knee boots from Staud. Prada’s leopard-print shoulder bag is another new neutral worth adding to your cart.

Preppy & Polished

While you may not need to hear us wax poetic about barn jackets for the umpteenth time, we’d be remiss not to call out this J.Crew x Christopher John Rogers gold-foil jacket that just hit the scene. Wear it with anything and everything this fall, but especially Prada’s straight-off-the-runway slip skirt, Banana Republic’s chunky knit turtleneck sweater, and a pair of soft-toe suede loafers from Saint Laurent. It’s an outfit to brighten up even the gloomiest of winter days to come–and comes with the street style seal of approval, courtesy of Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.

Casual Romance

’Tis the season for chic, casual city outfits! On your next weekend stroll down cobblestone streets, slip into Rohé’s black-and-white lace dress with a pair of retro sneakers from Proenza Schouler. For some much-needed added coverage, Joseph’s scarf-adorned camel coat is a chic twist on the classics, while Saint Laurent’s little black handbag is a style no-brainer no matter what you choose to style it with.

Cozy by the Fireplace

What’s more quintessential fall than a cozy-chic Fair Isle sweater? Beloved for its nostalgic look and feel, the sweater style is epitomized by this Fram toffee-colored crewneck; style it with Zara’s lace-trimmed slip for a sultry finish. Loewe’s shearling-trimmed bomber jacket is a lightweight addition to mix in, and the same goes for this suede, gold-embellished bucket bag, also from Loewe. All you need now is a roaring fire, steaming cup of hot tea, and soft jazz tunes to bring the entire look to life!

Party-Ready

The holidays are fast approaching, which means you’re going to need a go-to soirée staple to wear on repeat. Enter Victoria Beckham’s lace-trimmed, satin maxi dress. Inspired by the classic ’90s slip dress, style yours this party season with The Frankie Shop’s double-breasted wool coat in ivory, By Far’s kitten-heel mules, and Cos’s sparkly sequin clutch. With this full look in your back pocket, we can guarantee your top spot on any best dressed guest list.

Catwalk to Closet

Curious about the slip skirt that started it all? Chloé’s lace-trimmed, asymmetrical silk-satin midiskirt is the one to thank. Dreamed up by Chloé creative director Chemena Kamali, the sultry staple was the indisputable standout of the brand’s most recent pre-fall collection. While we all raced to add it to our already overflowing shopping carts, Nordstrom’s fashion director, Rickie De Sole, was wearing hers with oversized outerwear, chunky knits, and great black boots. Get a similar look, below, with Massimo Dutti’s funnel-neck bomber jacket, Polo Ralph Lauren’s flannel shirt, and a pair of calf-hair ballet flats from Reformation.

Texture Takeover

Texture thrives during the fall and no material–from slinky satin, glossy leather, or even python-print–is off limits this season. Combine all of the above in one seriously chic look, starting with J.Crew’s icy-blue slip skirt, Reiss’s lightweight cashmere sweater, Proenza Schouler’s coated belted jacket in a bold burgundy, and to polish it all off, a pair of snakeskin-effect knee-boots from Khaite.

After Hours

Want to give off an after-hours look but for every day? Slip into Saint Laurent’s lace-trimmed LBD, which was the star of the brand’s pre-fall collection, with Staud’s fabulous faux fur jacket in a rich chocolate brown color. Tone down the two sultry staples ever-so-slightly in a pair of easy leather penny loafers from Alex Mill and for some sparkle and shine, accessorize with David Yurman’s diamond-encrusted gold ring.
