THE VERSATILITY OF A SHIRTDRESS
Shirtdresses have long been a favorite in my wardrobe, and for good reason. Their versatility makes them a must-have for any fashion-forward person, and the options for styling are endless. Wearing a shirtdress as a traditional dress is really just the beginning.
Take for instance….. this fabulous shirtdress from Anthropologie. It comes in six stunning colors and patterns, and I’m absolutely in love with every single one. The cap sleeves are perfect for hot weather, providing just enough coverage while keeping you cool and breezy. I opted for the watercolor pattern, which is simply adorable. The other options however are equally fun!
One of my favorite ways to wear a shirtdress is open, like a kimono. This style choice changes the dress into a lightweight, stylish layer that can be worn over jeans, shorts, or even a swimsuit. I’ve worn them each way and it’s a really CHIC way to style it. Effortless, that’s perfect for a casual day out or a relaxed vacation vibe.
Speaking of vacations, a shirtdress is the perfect item to pack in your suitcase. Its versatility means you can create multiple outfits from one piece, saving valuable luggage space. Whether you’re strolling along the beach or exploring a new city, you’ll look fabulous and feel really comfortable.
When wearing a shirtdress as a dress, I love adding a belt to cinch the waist and create a more defined silhouette. However, it looks equally stylish without one. The beauty of a shirtdress lies in its ability to adapt to your personal style and the occasion. Changing it up with accessories such as shoes, jewelry, hats, and scarves will make it your own. When it comes to shoes, flats or heels are both great. For me that decision would be based on where I’m going.
LOOKS TO TRY
