Satin Dresses for Spring Events

Satiny fabrics and slip dresses are trending this season, and they’re perfect for spring/summer occasions and special events because they exude elegance and sophistication. Plus woven fabrics like silk and satin glide over the body without clinging, which tends to be very flattering, especially when cut on the bias like the dress I’m wearing here.

So many slip dresses have spaghetti straps, so I often pass over them because I don’t want to deal with a strapless bra, but this LNA Giselle Slip Dress from Evereve fits easily over my favorite everyday bra. I love the feminine silhouette and the tie-dye inspired abstract print.

I fee like the print gives it a slightly edgy vibe, which looks great with a black leather jacket or vest. I only have this mirror selfie from when I tried it on with a coated denim jacket here at home, but I forgot to pack the jacket when I went to Florida. Ooops! I guess you can still get the idea. This jacket is a few years old, but you may have something like it in your closet.

I feel like a metallic sandal is the perfect choice of footwear for this dress. Metallics are trending, and they also complement the neutral tones. When I tried it on at home, I paired it with gold ankle strap sandals, but I wore it with strappy silver heels when I was in Florida, and I also carried a black clutch with silver hardware.

I wish I’d thought to bring some more substantial jewelry, but these mixed metal link earrings and bracelets work okay, I guess. They definitely allow the dress to shine. I linked a few other options under the next picture.
