Our Favorite Shirtdresses for the Summer Heat
Sometimes the thought of primping and polishing is just too much. For just such days, the ones when pajamas sound a lot better than a pencil skirt, we give you: the shirtdress.
A gift to ladies everywhere, a shirtdress is part sophisticated outfit, part loungewear. Sounds like a win-win to us!
The simplicity of the shirtdress allows for minimal outfit planning—just add a few accessories for a complete look. Shirtdresses are breezy and keep you cool during the summer, and they can work for the office or a backyard cookout.
Whether you’re rocking the traditional blue chambray, feeling romantic in a floral number, or looking nautical in stripes, we’ve got just the shirtdress (or a few) for you.
