My Style

The reincarnated avatar is speaking above all the throw-on-and-go qualities

Do you know what’s the trendiest talk of the town? The humble shirt dress! Having surged the popularity in the 1940s and known for its resonation with ‘powerful women’, this sartorial piece is parting ways only to get a makeover from a workwear staple to a versatile silhouette. Given that, the shirt dress is a new elegant spin in every wise shopper’s effortless fashion diary and why not – it embodies the sophistication of a formal shirt and the carefree soul of a midi-dress. Best of both worlds? Make them your go-to when cords feel like a little too much effort and formals make your fashionista soul yawn in boredom. To let you have the flavour of the trend, we made you a shirt dress guide. Ready?
