April 11, 2018|Candace Read|Leave A Comment

We sure do love a good dress. As mentioned in our Spring 2018 Trend Report, the shirtdress is THE statement dress for Spring 2018 and we’ve got no problem with it! From trench coats being worn as dresses to actual shirtdress styles, the options are truly endless. Shirtdresses can be belted at the waistline and paired with a straight pencil pant or bare leg. In hopes of further encouraging you to trade in your long cardigans for this sleek dress style, we are sharing just a few ways you might approach this trend for the season!

Throw on this denim casual dress for everyday and pair it with your favorite sneakers. The backpack finishes this look.. and makes it so easy for a variety of body shapes and ages to wear so effortlessly! Remember, you can follow the casual chic way.. and put with a skinny white denim and a pair of mules and take it to a casual evening out! We appreciate how super versatile this dress is…

A shirtdress is a great way to put a stylish spin on your dress game for the office. Rather than reaching for the standard black or camel shirtdress, play with color and GO BOLD. Since this is a WTW shirtdress, you want to pay extra attention to the length! It should hit somewhere between the top of the knee or mid to low knee depending on your height. The shoes and handbag instantly make this dress more chic, while also grounding it. To complete the look, add a sleek pair of hoop earrings and you will be all set. You can take your accessorizing up a notch by also adding a complimentary printed scarf to your handbag handle.
