How to Style The Attico: From Slip Dress to Sharp Tailoring
[coveti_shop_v2]
The Attico does one thing better than almost anyone: it makes getting dressed for the evening feel easy. The pieces are confident on their own, so styling them is less about building a complex look and more about choosing the right anchor. Here is how to wear The Attico, from the slip dress that started it all to the sharp tailoring the house is now known for.

How to style The Attico slip dress
The slip dress is the brand’s origin story, and it is still the easiest entry point. For evening, let it lead: a strappy sandal, a bold lip, and a small clutch is the whole look. To take a slip dress into daytime, layer a fine knit underneath, then add a tailored jacket on top, and swap the heel for a flat leather mule. A satin slip in black and ivory will carry you from a dinner to a party without a second outfit. Browse the options in designer dresses.
How to wear The Attico tailoring
The Attico cuts a blazer with attitude, often cropped, often worn with very little underneath. Pair it back with its matching trouser for a suit that reads sharp rather than corporate. Break the set and wear the jacket over a slip skirt and a lace top. A waist belt turns an oversized blazer into a defined silhouette. Start with jackets and blazers.
Day to night in one piece
A mini dress with a polo collar, a knit with a deep neckline, a pair of tailored shorts with a blazer: these are the pieces that move through a full day. The trick is restraint. Let one Attico piece be the focus and keep the rest of the look quiet, so a printed mini reads considered instead of costume. For separates, see tops and skirts.
Colour and print
The Attico mixes clean black, ivory, and grey with bold colour and the occasional animal print. If you are new to the label, start with a single-colour piece you will wear on repeat, then add a print once you know how you like to style it. A black slip dress and a sharp blazer are the two pieces that do the most work.
Sizing and fit
The Attico runs to Italian sizing. At Luxury Handbags this is shown on the UK ladder, so a UK 8 reads as IT 40, a UK 10 as IT 42, and so on up the run. Tailored pieces sit true to size. Slip and relaxed silhouettes follow a softer body line, so size with your usual measurements in mind and size up if you prefer more ease.
