Fun and airy, a shirt dress is the epitome of comfort. The shirt dress borrows details from a man’s shirt, like buttons down the front, and offers a generally loose fit, which works for most any body. Check for crisp cottons (organic) for daytime shirt dresses and richer silks (that involves a chemical-free manufacturing process) or sequins (yippee for sequins!) for the evening. To achieve a flattering silhouette, cinch a belt around your natural waist line and feel free to mix and match bold accessories with this super simple frock.

The shirt dress was launched into the fashion constellation in the late 19th century as a dress with a bodice and a front opening tailored like those of a dress shirt. However, that definition has been modified, as is the case with Gabriella Rocha’s Gwynny dress. Made from a blend of 67% Bamboo/29% Organic Cotton/4% Spandex, this simple shirt dress would be well paired with gold bangles and a long necklace.
There is just something about this organic cotton cover-up shirt dress by Carve Designs that is just so classic. The scoop neck, cap sleeves and black color combination yield a versatile dress that oozes simple sexy style.
The flirty colors and tiered shape of this shirt dress are pretty awesome. Surf brand Volcom nails it with this Go Green Dress W, made from 100% organic cotton.
Though the hem of Linda Loudermilk’s Crumple Dress in organic cotton creates a bubble effect – nontraditional detail on a shirt dress – there is no doubt that this is the real deal. Its plain front, loose shape, and fabrication, not to mention the special detailing at the neck, make it one unique and comfortable daytime ditty.
Geren Ford 100% silk dress is perfect for the evening. The rich, jewel tone color and flirty fun neckline make this simple shirt dress one special frock. For a little extra sza sza szou, wrap a patent leather or studded belt at your waist and rock a pair of (comfy) heels.
