Revamped And Romanced: 16 Satin Dresses We Love


THE ICONIC EDITION

Call your girlfriends. A new kind of mood is rising.                  Stolen from the boudoir and taken out on the town. This is sumptuous satin, let free after dark. There’s nothing sneaker-ish about the way we want to wear this desirous shiny fabric. The tone is dark, sultry — hedonistic even. Lights are dimmed. Candles burn. Hips swerve in rhythm. Martinis courtesy of a stranger. Remember those parts of yourself you forgot in lockdown. Unleash. Dust off the metallic party pumps. Suddenly, the body-con slip tempts you once again — this time ruched with satin draping. Subversive cut-outs and sheer fabrics peek out under evening blazers. Jackets slightly oversized with cues from black-tie (it’s as if it were borrowed from a gentleman). Flashes of encrusted signet rings and crystal cocktail earrings dangling in the club light. Lashings of lace glimpsed under a trench. Silk sets that glitter like sapphires and emeralds — purposely unbuttoned in just the right places to show off gold chains resting delicately on the collarbone. Obviously, darling, the slip dress returns — it’s like that ex- lover you just can’t give up. Rehashed. Revamped. Romanced. Basically, we’re musing Kim Kardashian post Kanye break up.

Take cues from our satin stash we've compiled for you: 16 satin dresses, skirts, tops and pants we’ve wishlisted.
