Escaped from sensual nights, the babydoll interferes in our summer wardrobes. Nicknamed “slip dress”, this essential piece of lingerie is no longer just the companion of our sweet nights.
Worn during the day, it is the chic and shocking asset that transforms your minimalist and basic looks into glamorous and sophisticated outfits. Soft and satiny, it is also very comfortable to wear every day. The stars, from Rihanna to Kate Moss via Katy Perry, have also adopted it. In 4 models, we explain how to bring it up to date by making it more trendy than ever this season.
Twist your babydoll into a little floral dress by layering
After the sets of pajamas, it’s the turn of nightgowns to invite themselves into our fashionista days! The Mango flower-embroidered nightgown (€29.99) can be transformed into a little summer dress with its short, straight cut and thin straps. In the spring, play with layering by slipping a basic T-shirt underneath for a casual style. Add an oversized cardigan or denim jacket for maximum effect. Add to that moccasins and a small pair of apparent socks and you have the preppy look!
Multiply the accessories to make your maxi nightie an evening dress
The NA-KD knitted maxi dress (€49.95) is the long version of a babydoll. Worn close to the body, it becomes a chic and glamorous evening dress with its pretty black and blue abstract patterns. Lined in fabric, it is right on trend with its cowl neck and adjustable straps. You can combine it with a maxi necklace, a cuff and some beautiful earrings. Put your hair up and add a plain clutch and black wedge sandals and you’re ready to go out.
The satiny dress with meticulous details as a key piece
In Mango’s Celebrations and Ceremonies collection, the babydoll regains its former glory with a satin dress version with a crossed back (€59.99). Prized for its high quality satin fabric, it easily transforms into a summer dress. It gives a touch of originality and freshness to summer looks with its shades of beige, brown and salmon, with a tie and dye effect.
Sexy with her crossed back
Exceptionally on sale at -40%, the Boohoo satin slip dress (€25) is the must-have for the spring-summer season. Available in green, beige or black, it gives a glamorous and retro touch to your outfits with its cut that seems straight out of the 1990s. You will particularly like its open back and gathered at the hips and its crossed straps. Wear it with platform loafers and pretty socks for a preppy look, or with chunky sneakers for a sportswear style. In the evening, it will also be perfect with pumps and a leather perfecto, to give it a rock look.
