Let’s talk about the wardrobe piece that never lets you down: the shirt dress. It’s the laidback essential with endless style potential – think tailored meets effortless, casual meets cool. If you’re wondering how to style a shirt dress, we’ve got you covered.
BELT IT
Want to define the waist and dial up the polish? Just add a belt. Whether it’s a statement leather number or a simple tie, belting your shirt dress brings structure and elevates the silhouette. Our top tip? Match your belt with your footwear to keep the look sleek.
ADD A LAYER
When the temperature dips, or when you just want extra dimension, layer up. Throw a boxy blazer over your shirt dress for an office-approved moment, or pair with a chunky knit to give your outfit cosy-meets-cool energy. For off-duty days, a leather biker jacket keeps it confident.
UNBUTTONED & UNDONE
Go for a shirt dress with attitude. Unbutton the neckline, roll the sleeves, and let the hemline do its thing. Think relaxed but refined. Add a stack of gold chains, minimal heels, and you’re good to go – from brunch to bar without missing a beat.
SHOE GAME
A shirt dress is your canvas. Let your footwear do the talking. White trainers? Cool-girl casual. Strappy heels? Date-night ready. Chunky boots? Add instant edge. With the right shoes, your shirt dress transforms on cue.
DAY TO NIGHT
Here’s the real magic: shirt dresses are shape-shifters. Buttoned-up for the boardroom, then switched out with heels and bold accessories for dinner plans – no outfit change needed. Keep accessories minimal for day, then go bold for night. One piece, endless potential. Just how we like it.
Effortless, versatile, and always on point – the shirt dress is the piece that works as hard as you do. As to how to style a shirt dress? Dress it up, pare it back, and wear it your way. This isn’t just a style staple, it’s your wardrobe’s secret weapon.
