Choose between a full or half nylon slip based on preference and weather. Consider length, neckline, and color when shopping. Cropped styles with lace rows can be cut to fit. Full slips work best with dresses, while half slips are better for skirts. Darker colors are best for nighttime wear.
To choose the best nylon slip, first decide if you prefer a full or half version. A full slip can double as a nightgown, however a half slip will be cooler in hot weather. Length is an important consideration when shopping for a nylon slip because if it’s too long, it will show at the bottom of a skirt or dress.
A cropped style is a great solution to the problem of having the right slip length, especially while traveling when there may be nowhere to find another undergarment or hem. This type of nylon slip has rows of lace at the bottom. Each row can be cut as needed with scissors to create a shorter slip length each time. There is also the option to leave it as is with all the lace rows intact. Of course, once a row is cut, the slip can’t be any longer than that, but wearing a shorter style under a longer skirt or dress is usually not a problem.
Full nylon slips are often the best choice for dresses, while half slips work well with skirts. Depending on the thinness of the fabric, the ruched waist of a nylon half slip can show through a dress to interrupt its smooth line. Full slips tend to move with the dress. However, half slips work best with skirts, as a full slip can ride up and blow out over the skirt’s waistline. Also, nylon briefs are made of synthetic material and don’t tend to “breathe” well, so slipping all the way below the waistband of a skirt can leave the wearer feeling sweaty around the waist.
When choosing a full nylon slip, don’t forget to consider the neckline. Many, but not all, full slips have a V-shaped neckline. If the slip features a wide lace trim at the neckline and you don’t want it showing on the neckline of your dress, it’s best to choose another style. Sometimes a lesser quality full or half slip can feature lace trimmings that create bulges under a skirt or dress. To avoid this, look for quality seams and flat hems and seams when shopping for nylon briefs.
The color of nylon briefs you should have in your wardrobe depends on your clothes and style. In general, black or dark colored briefs should only be worn with dark colored skirts or dresses to avoid showing through. Darker colored slips tend to work well at night, while a nylon slip in a light color is generally better for daytime wear.
