Shirt dresses were the post world war two fashion statement. It is a style of dress which borrows details from a man's shirt. These can include a collar, a button front, or cuffed sleeves. As they are essentially cut without a seam at the waist, these dresses often have a looser fit, usually relying on a belt to define the waist. Button fronts and a forgiving fit make this a flattering look for most body types.

Tips: style your shirtdress

It always depends on occasion and time. A night out wearing a shirt dress is best accessorised with a few chunky jewellery pieces and pair of heels (sandals or toe covered). You can either opt for an oversized envelope clutch or a small box clutch.

For the day time it does well with a pair of huge sunglasses, a few bracelets and studs. You can either stick to sandals (flats or heels) and a nice tote.  a Thick waist belt rather than A thin one. While block heeled sandals always add that European touch to the casual yet dressy outfit.
