Khaite Iben Slipdress

Product Insights & Style Tips

Khaite reimagines the slipdress with an edge of quiet rebellion in the Iben—a piece that slips between worlds, at once ethereal and sharply grounded. The signature slinkiness of a ’90s-inspired silhouette is rendered in English twist tweed, with cotton lending breathability and shape, while touches of virgin wool and polyamide add refinement and hold. The deep V-neckline and barely-there spaghetti straps reference the ease of iconic slipdresses, but the textured fabric and tailored finish invite a tactile curiosity rarely seen in such silhouettes. It’s all subtle structure and movement—fluid, but never flimsy.

With its hidden side-zip and side-seam pockets, the Iben fits close but doesn’t constrict, falling along the frame with that Khaite sense of confident nonchalance. The breathable yet substantial tweed offers a unique take on layering—bare against skin in warm months, or slipped over a fine knit as the temperature dips. Pockets hidden in the seams bring a utilitarian wink, holding essentials without disturbing the line. The transition from day to night is seamless; switch out flats for heeled boots, or add a sculptural jacket for gallery-to-dinner energy.

Khaite has always thrived at the intersection of American sportswear and European classicism, and the Iben slipdress encapsulates that push-pull—the drama of a slip, newly relevant in tweed. It speaks to the brand’s ongoing conversation between sensuality and substance, making this a piece that doesn’t just nod to the trend cycle but advances it.
