Comfy and fancy? Check out these 5 shirt dresses
It’s summertime and the living is easy. So, too, is the fashion. One of our fave looks for summer: Shirt dresses. (Imagine turning your comfiest T-shirt into a complete ensemble or allowing your favorite knit button-up to become an entire outfit in and of itself).
Here are 5 shirt dresses perfect for summer and the summer-to-fall transition. For an instant-outfit, just add a pair of tennis shoes or sandals.
Tee up!
Everything about this dress shouts summer. We’re imagining this lightweight, bright “limon” scoopneck T-shirt paired with a colorful arm party of bracelets and a fedora. With this shirt dress, you’ll get the comfort of a T-shirt combined with the fancy factor of a dress. Slub T-shirt Dress, $39.99 (plus 2% Cash Back), gap.com
A touch of lace:
For a sweet spin on the usually sultry LBD, this black shirt dress captured our eye with lace detailing at the sleeves and along the front. The fit-and-flare style is flattering, and, come fall, this dress could be easily warmed up with a cardigan or denim jacket layered on top.

Work wear:
Getting dressed for the office in the summer can be a challenge — striking the right balance between professional, yet comfortable. In a pretty poppy color, this shirt dress comes to the rescue! The pointed collar, surplice neckline and button flap pockets add a professional polish. The wrap style with a pleated skirt is known for flattering all figures.

Ruched T-shirt dress:
Comfy meet glam. The ruching on this gray striped T-shirt dress is completely unexpected and stylish. (P.S., ruching has the added benefit of acting like shapewear and hiding bulges!)

Abstract prints like the ones on this long-sleeve shirt dress are having a major fashion moment. We’re color crushing on the bright hues in this pretty dress, too.
