It’s summertime and the living is easy. So, too, is the fashion. One of our fave looks for summer: shirt dresses. Here are five shirt dresses perfect for summer and the summer-to-fall transition. For an instant outfit, just add a pair of tennis shoes or sandals.
Tee up! Everything about this dress shouts summer. We’re imagining this lightweight, bright “limon” scoop neck T-shirt paired with a colorful arm party of bracelets and a fedora. With this shirt dress, you’ll get the comfort of a T-shirt combined with the fancy factor of a dress. Slub T-shirt Dress, $39.99, gap.com
Touch of lace. For a sweet spin on the usually sultry LBD, this black shirt dress captured our eye with lace detailing at the sleeves and along the front. The fit-and-flare style is flattering, and, come fall, this dress could be easily warmed up with a cardigan or denim jacket layered on top. Trinette Shirtdress, $148, anthropologie.com
Work wear. Getting dressed for the office in the summer can be a challenge — striking the right balance between professional, yet comfortable. In a pretty poppy color, this shirt dress comes to the rescue. The pointed collar, surplice neckline and button flap pockets add a professional polish. The wrap style with a pleated skirt is known for flattering all figures. Michael Kors Cotton Poplin Shirt Wrap Dress, $160, nordstrom.com
Ruched T-shirt dress. Comfy, meet glam. The ruching on this gray striped T-shirt dress is completely unexpected and stylish.
