Shirt dresses are my hero pieces for summertime. I wear them weekly - I'm wearing one right now! They're effortless and easy to style, they're timeless, and they always look great whether you're keeping it casual or getting more dressed up. A shirt dress is the perfect blank slate for all of your summer outfits, and a piece that you will reach for year after year. I can never have too many, so I rounded up some of my favorite styles to share with you!
If I could only pick one dress from the list above, I would go with this one - my blue and white striped dresses are my favorites and the most versatile! It's 100% cotton, has a relaxed, straight fit, and wears effortlessly on its own or with your favorite belt. Many shirt dresses come with matching tie belts, but I typically swap them out for one of my own for a more elevated look (as seen above!)
Shirt dresses will always be classic, but a recent trendier variation that I've had my eye on is this pleated cinched waist design (also in a midi!) This style is so flattering and eye-catching.
Amazon has some hidden gems when it comes to classic cotton shirt dresses. I own both this one and this one and they're great staples! My only critique is that neither of them have proper sleeve cuffs so you have to wear the sleeves rolled up, but I usually do this anyway so it's not really an issue for me.
I cannot believe I'm using the word "transitional" right now as we are well within the heat of summer, but shirt dresses are the perfect transitional piece, both going into summer and coming out of it (as I shed a tear). This rust colored beauty is on my wish list for the upcoming fall season as I think it would go perfectly with a pair of knee high boots and a square silk scarf.
