A Calvin Klein crepe slip dress:
The slip dress is back! With the revival of 90’s fashion, this simple dress is making a big comeback.

Another piece that can be dressed up or down, a trench transitions from fall to winter and brings sophistication whether you wear it with jeans and a scarf, a pantsuit or a mini dress. Wear the sleeves down for a sleek look or roll them up for a laid-back vibe. The Burberry trench will be a staple in your wardrobe the moment you have it in your hands.
