You have got to be living under a rock if by now you still do not know what a shirt dress is. But for the poor souls out there who do NOT know, this is for you. Shirt dresses are dressed for a woman, designed like something only a man would wear. It can have some or all of the following elements: a collar, a button front, or cuffed sleeves.
This is very popular in the office nowadays since it gives off a professional air while maintaning your feminine charm. The fabrics usually used for shirt dresses are cotton and silk, since they can be soft enough to wear yet able to maintain a tailored look. A shirt dress has a straight skirt that you can belt up to accentuate the waistline.
The usual length of this kind of dress is usually down to the knees, but shorter ones are also available in the market. It is very rare to see one that will go down the knees. Due to the straightness of the dress’ cut, it can be worn well by women of different body types. If you do not want your waist as the highlight, choose a dress that does not have a seam at that area, and do not wear a belt.
For a casual look, you can dress down t shirt dresses with flats and sandals; also, pastel colors are a great choice, along with cute details such as pockets and bows. Pair it up with an oversized bag or a tote and flattering sunglasses and you’re good to go! You can wear a cami inside your shirt dress and unbutton the top of the dress enough so that it will show. Pick a simple camisole as too many detailings can create a distraction and it will just look off.
For dressier events, go for heels. Pumps, patents, sandals with heels – anything that will add height! If you still go for ballet flats, choose dressy flats. Then add classy accessories and jewelry. Pick up polished pieces to add interest to your look without looking you did an overkill. Stack up bangles or choose a big one so that your arms are not bare. A long necklace is the ultimate t shirt dress accessory. Try it. You will see my point.
Creativity will go a long way with shirt dresses. Try donning a bright scarf, or pair a belted dress with tights and ankle boots. Also, ankle – length leggings + shirt dress + ballet flats = cute perfection!
Formal looking handbags will finish your look up with style. There are almost endless possibilities with shirt dresses since a simple change in makeup and accessories you can go from a fresh day look to a fun night out.
