"The Wolford body sock made me feel like a sexy sausage."
Not only has Kim shown off just how versatile the seamless tube can be for her (a skirt? a dress? both?), she also proselytizes to her famous friends about its awesomeness, getting pals like Chrissy Teigen to add the $215 piece to their closets. But how easy could it actually be to wear such a skin-tight item day-in, day-out? Here, 4 smathcollection.com editors find out, styling the dress for the streets of New York:
I'm no stranger to Kim's second-skin, body-on-display dressing ways, but the Wolford dress is next-level. On its own, the dress is an unapologetic, leave-nothing-to-the-imagination fancy sausage casing. The cloth tube requires confidence—lots of confidence—to wear as an item of actual clothing you'd leave the house in, but as a layering piece, it's kind of a game changer. Since, again, this is a piece of sausagey fabric holding in (ish) my bod, it looked and felt better on me when it was doubled and folded over itself and paired with a looser item on top. Worn with a big sweater or a T-shirt and leather jacket, I felt much more comfortable in the thing, and I'd definitely wear this as a skirt with sneakers for a casual hang. The downside? That shit hikes up. Like, what was a semi-tasteful just-above-the-knee lewk in my head (and when I left the office to take these pics!) transformed into full Pretty Woman–level mini after walking three blocks." — Sally Holmes, Deputy Editor
