How To Style The Striped Shirt-Dress

Thursday, March 22, 2018


Vertical stripes have been seen all over the runways, and you too can hop on this classic warm-weather trend without the catwalk expenditure. My similar chic piece is currently being sold for a very affordable $27.90! (link below). I was instantly drawn to the dress because of its classic black/tan striped detail (also available in navy and cream stripes), and I envision many future styling possibilities. You simply can't go wrong with a polished shirt-dress; It's such a wardrobe staple and the stripes are additionally effortlessly versatile. Remember that restyling clothing gives your existing wardrobe new life: This stylish piece can be dressed up or down for various occasions, and add or remove layers to transition from season to season. Its storm flaps gave it the feel of a classic trench coat, so I knew it would be perfect as a topper. If I fasten the buttons above the waist, the dress would look fabulous as a high-split top as well, perfect for wearing with leggings. The sleeves are also customizable roll tabs, which can be worn casually rolled up, or savvy worn down. Scroll down to see how I styled this shirt-sress drom day to night!


DAY
I wore the shirt-dress buttoned up and belted. I accessorized with a fab floppy and suede ankle booties for a day at the winery - or could do without the hat and could easily be worn as a chic office appropriate outfit.




NIGHT
I simply unbuttoned the dress and let it drape as a lightweight duster jacket over my bodysuit and skinny jean combo; perfect outfit transition from work to cocktails/date-night!
