Theory traces its origins back to 1990s New York City, so it's only right for it to whip up its own version of the enduring style of that decade – the slip dress. Deviating from the classic bias cut, the brand cuts this minimal style with a fitted ribbed knit bodice and flared skirt, finishing in a fluttering asymmetric hem. The fluid crepe fabric, slim spaghetti straps and familiar slinky shape still tick all our boxes, though.
