A satin dress is a staple for any wardrobe, and the ways that the timeless style can be worn are endless. The slinky silhouette is super flattering on the figure, and the right satin dress will work with just about any footwear.
Whether you're searching for a satin midi for your next date night or a pretty floral style for everyday wear, we've searched high and low for the very best satin dresses to wear this summer and beyond.
How to wear a satin dress?
A satin dress is as versatile as it gets. Style the figure-skimming number with a pair of chunky sandals and a matching crossbody for a chic daywear look, or opt for heels and a clutch bag to transform into a glam evening style.
Satin dresses aren't just for the warmer months, either. They look so stylish beneath an oversized or cropped leather jacket, and during the cold weather, layer up with a chunky knit and a pair of biker boots.
