While my summer wardrobe tells a tale of easy linens and breezy cottons, my winter rotation always gravitates towards richer, more luxurious textures. Typically, this is the moment when plush velvets and high-shine sparkles have their annual comeback. But this season, I’m taking my cues straight from Jennifer Lopez and embracing sumptuous satin instead.
Channelling the elegance of a luxe slip dress, Jennifer’s pastel-pink, calf-skimming gown taps into the nightwear-as-daywear trend that’s been gaining momentum over the past few seasons. With its fluid drape and soft sheen, satin offers a glamorous silhouette without ever feeling over-the-top, making it perfect for this time of year.
Her chosen style, complete with puff sleeves and delicate lace detailing, will serve just as well for a night out as it will a night in. Elevate it with a glossy pointed-toe heel for evening plans, or keep things understated with pretty Mary Janes for a relaxed daytime look.
Of course, you can always raid your own nightwear drawer to try the trend, but this winter’s collections are brimming with satin dresses that are well worth a place in a winter capsule wardrobe. From Dôen’s romantic favourites to H&M’s sleek, slinky iterations, read on to shop the chicest satin dresses to wear through the festive season and beyond.
