Cohorted Cult

In the modern, conscientious fashion world we are shaping, some of us would ideally like to cut down on fast fashion spending and waste, so being able to take one dress from day to night simply by switching accessories, should be something for which we all have the know-how.   

As we strive to become more conscious consumers, making one dress suit a variety of occasions is a challenge but it’s completely possible and easier than you might think. The right dress can be dialled up for a night out, or toned down for a day date, simply by swapping heels for flats. 

In this article, we’re going to walk you through how to make one classic summer dress work in the office, on a brunch date, and for evening drinks by changing up the accompanying items you want to pair with it, keeping it to a limit of 4 easy-to-find accessories for a true capsule wardrobe.  

For this example, we’ve chosen a midi satin slip dress from H&M. Priced at £24.99, it provides a brilliantly affordable base. 

Let’s break down each factor:  

Midi dresses are the perfect in-between, suitable for more modest office attire whilst simultaneously stepping up to be suitable for a night out.  

Satin gives effortless elegance and versatility to any outfit. 

The slip dress is a timeless piece brought back into the mainstream through the recent 90s fashion revival, and even more so due to its ability to be dressed up and down so easily.
