Oversized, perfectly tailored or asymmetrical. Whatever the structure of this piece, the shirtdress is basically the most versatile (and comfortable) summer staple of all time. Shirt dresses are essentially longer versions of the classic button-down and will equally prove their worth. Whether you are sporty, preppy or the most tomboy-ish of women, this piece works for everyone and every style. Wear it like Rihanna with an oversized tote and sneakers or go girly with a pleated, shorter version like Olivia Palermo. Also, what more could we want for summer than a forgiving, loose and lightweight dress?
