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
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!
