A few months back I went shopping with Monday in a vintage market aka Toi market on look out for the perfect silky slip dress.
However, This day wasn’t a win for me as I only got this one and was stuck between buying it or not because it wasnt exactly what I was looking for then it hit me: YES buy it, it’ll make the perfect casual chic even glam dress once it gets sunny again.
This 90’s trend is officially back. Now landing as one of closet essentials, The slip dress (or pajama-style cami dress) is making it’s way through the fashion world to become a celebrity and street style favorite. The most popular way to style it: slip dress over t-shirt.
However, I know that the slip dress isn’t an easy one to pull off. With its silky figure hugging design, it can be quite daunting trying to wear a dress which quite frankly looks like lingerie.
It’s a perfect outfit for running around in the Nairobi heat. I went for the really retro route by wearing a t-shirt underneath and adding a vintage denim jacket. Paired with this cool hat, my go-to wedge sneakers of the moment which adds a little edge to my look and not to mention, super comfortable which is so important.
Outfit Details

If you’re after something a little more fashionista, try a pair of ankle boots completed with a denim jacket; you’ll certainly turn heads with this number.
I love the versatility of these two pieces – rocking the tee with a pair of jeans or wearing the slip dress by itself for a night out on the town is definitely in my future. These are two key pieces in my wardrobe I know I’ll be wearing on repeat.
Though the slip dress may seem like a daring addition to the wardrobe, it really can be worn in many, many ways making it a fashion must have.
I can’t wait till it warms up a bit and I can work the bare legs look more often too. I think this dress would look really nice with ankle boots as well so that’s how I’m going to wear it next time.
What is your favourite way to wear a slip dress?
Stay stylish,
