How To Wear a Shirt Dress

February 23rd, 2010 by crystal

They’re everywhere this Spring.

And, lucky for all of us, they’re super versatile.
No matter your style, there’s a shirt dress for you.
With lots of layers or by itself, no matter what the weather is, you can wear a shirt dress.
The same shirt dress can be dressed up for work or dressed down for a backyard bbq.

Here is a guide for how to wear a shirt dress. Different ways to wear one, different styles to try and where you can buy yours now.

How To Wear a Shirt Dress

Cutesy

For a cute, demure look, wear a shirt dress with opaque tights and ballet flats. This is a good look for class, a casual work setting, a lunch date or a girls day of shopping.

Casual

In the heat of the Summer, go bare-legged and wear your shirt dress with flat gladiator sandals or a pair of topsiders. This look is a bit less feminine than the one described above, but is appropriate for all of the same settings.

Sophisticated

To really dress up a shirt dress, belt it with a skinny belt and wear heels. A ruffled tank underneath can also add a feminine touch. This look works for the office, a lunch meeting, happy hour or a second date.

Fashionista

For a super put together, I-should-be-a-stylist look, wear your shirtdress with a wide belt (for the best look, find a belt with an interesting buckle or a funky woven pattern) and tall boots. This look is ideal for plaid shirt dresses.

What good looks! I’m iffy about wearing shirt dress but I think I’m going to try them now… specifically the cutesy look.

You are totally sweet. I’ve been totally swamped with my other gig (weddingsunveiledaustin.com). Trying to decide what to do with Ssasy Chic. Pondering the possibility of still posting…just less frequently. What do you think?

Please keep posting!

This is the first blog I’ve found that actually tells me *how* to wear different trends, like hats and boots.

Posting infrequently would be much, much better than not posting at all.

Hope to hear more from you soon!
