Fashion: Yes YOU can...
...wear slip dresses all year round. Shelly Vella shows you how
As someone who adapts her wardrobe favourites to brave the weather, I’m well accustomed to the art of layering and styling up the simplest of slithery dresses. For dialled-back looks, adding a chunky cardigan is a great choice, while a fitted blazer is your go-to for a more dressy vibe. The key is to play with layers and tones (and, if needed, add a lingerie slip to avoid static).
