What To Wear: The Shirt Dress

What I love most about the shirt dress is how versatile it can be. It can be casually chic when teamed with brogues and a leather jacket, or instantly glammed up for a night out with a pair of killer heels.

I wear mine cinched at the waist with a thin belt and flat shoes for a daytime look. A thin belt, in my opinion, works a lot better than a thick belt and adds great shape.

The cult Dove dresses and Jonah dresses already come with belts – but I love to also swap them out with my own belts sometimes; it’s such an easy way to refresh a style!

For an ultra-glam look I would ditch the belt and add heels. You will get the great silhouette of a feminine dress with menswear detailing, giving you that understated but elegant vibe – that I, personally, am always trying to achieve.

I want to look like I have just thrown this all on without a thought – which, I won’t lie, is never the case… The Black Dropped Hem Shirt Dress is one of those styles where you can really achieve this. Back comb you hair slightly and slap on some lipstick, you will be good to go!

As much as I generally love to stick to more neutral and season-less colours in my style, I also love a bold and bright print in the summer!

The Blue Leopard Shirt Dress is perfect for adding some fierce colour to your outfits for those brighter days. What’s more, you can pretty much wear it for any occasion. Picnic in the park, brunch date, Ascot, or a wedding? This dress has got you covered!

So there it is, the shirt dress: the effortlessly chic wardrobe best-friend that won’t let you down!
