I've been a regular at Bar Pitti in Manhattan since the late '90s, and while I was there last week, feasting on my usual funghi saltati, I could not help but feel like I was back in the late '90s. Because pretty much every female diner there was wearing a slip dress! And now I am game to give it a go again, too. It's the ideal dress for these humid summer days, and I love how it's so easy to layer with an oversized cardigan, sweater, hoodie or blazer. Both model Amalie Moosgaard, above, and Jenny Walton, below are sporting Vince's (also here) navy dress. I also want to slip in to these by The Reformation (on sale), Zara, The Row, Toteme, and Fleur de Mal.

For all those who compliment a dress I'm wearing and then roll their eyes when I tell them it's by H&M, here you go. (You know who you are!) The above ruffled (Zimmermann-spirited) $34 lovely also comes in cream. P.S. I also came across this steal, this knockout and this under $200 (Ulla-like) Ann Taylor winner, below. You're welcome!
