slipped into

Gradually began wearing

Slipped into describes entering something smoothly or without effort.

You slip into clothes by putting them on easily: She slipped into her pajamas.

You slip into a place by entering quietly or unobtrusively: He slipped into the back of the auditorium.

Figuratively, to slip into a state is to transition gradually or unconsciously: The country slipped into recession, She slipped into a coma, We slipped into old habits.
