When someone asks you to name the most versatile piece in your wardrobe, a slip dress probably doesn't come to mind.

That is, until you employ the styling tricks below. Don't pack away your sheer, lacy midis just yet. Ahead, find out how to wear one over jeans, under a hoodie, and with your favorite transitional jacket, then shop some of our favorite designs to play the layering game.
