3 Classy Ways to Style a Satin Dress for Daytime
This year, fall is a little more glam thanks to satin dresses, which have crossed over into the day. Here’s one of my favorites and three classy ways to style a satin dress to make you shine.

Wear a Satin Shirtdress On Its Own
Satin dresses are much loved because of their lustrous sheen, soft silky texture, and gorgeous drape. They’re so luxurious-looking that they can easily be worn alone.
I love this fabulous satin shirtdress in this rich charcoal color, which looks powerful but also very feminine. The ruching at the waist is a gorgeous detail and creates a very figure-flattering effect.
I chose these snake print sandals to add some pattern and texture, but closed-toe pumps would be more appropriate for a formal workplace if you were wearing them to work.
Add a touch of jewelry and some classy shoes, and you’re all set for a daytime look that will turn heads.
Slip-on A Suede Jacket
This dress is made from a satin-polyester blend fabric, making it light, breathable, and ideal for summer. Add a light suede moto jacket, and you are good to go for fall.
Satin and suede are an unexpected combo that is both feminine and a little edgy, making this outfit look very modern.
Here’s the same look, but with the jacket zipped up. I switched out the pink slides for snake print sandals for a different look.
Add a Leather Safari Jacket
Here’s another jacket that changes the vibe of this dress. This faux leather safari jacket is fabulous. Leather + silky fabric is another exciting combo.
And, if you didn’t think you could pair black with brown, what do you think of this? It’s a very sophisticated mix!
I’m wearing those snake-print sandals again; I will switch to some brown boots once it feels like fall!
This elegant satin dress is lovely for work and transitions seamlessly from office to dinner in a flash.

I had no idea that satin was so versatile. I think I’ve always associated it with being super fancy. I really like the looks you’ve put together here. They makes me want to concoct a special occasion as an excuse to get one into my closet!
Hi Lauren, Forget special occasions! You can wear a satin blouse with a pair of jeans and a nice belt and look totally cool. That’s the thing about satin. It is a dressy fabric that is being worn in causal ways and that makes it modern. Cheers, Deborah
Thanks Andy, Glad you dropped by. The teal is my favorite too!
Hello Deborah,
Very tastefully done, I had wanted to try satin but only saw slip dresses. Wanting a little more coverage was uncertain if I should. Now I can ????
Hi Deborah!
Love these vibrant pieces you selected. I bought a mustard yellow shift dress from Zara 2 yrs ago and look forward to styling it for Fall.
Happy Monday!
