Need a casual dress or outfit for a graduation or wedding shower? Try this super easy striped shirtdress outfit. It’s so simple to accessorize a shirtdress to fit just about any occasion.
This dress is 100% cotton, which makes it a great choice for a warm day. And summer is almost here! For a graduation celebration, this dress was just what I needed.
The Striped Shirtdress Outfit
The fit of a shirtdress suits almost any body style. For a straight figure like mine, it gives me a bit of definition by adding the self-tie belt, but you could also dress it up with a contrasting or coordinating belt.
Here are some of the details for this cute dress:
- Side seam pockets (love that!)
- Matching fabric belt
- 100% cotton
- Affordable
- Split neckline and button front
The shirtdress style is such a classic look. Even one as seemingly casual as this can be dressed up. I have a white bolero-style sweater that, when styled with heels and some statement jewelry, would give it a dressier look for date night or dinner out with friends. It would also give a beachy casual style with flat sandals, a fun hat, and a large straw tote. In addition, you could style it professionally for work with a short fitted blazer (I have a white one in my closet in mind!) with low heels and sophisticated jewelry. It would be perfect for summer office attire!
As a final idea, you could wear it with a boyfriend cardigan and tights and boots as a transitional outfit in the fall! It’s always a good idea to think ahead as to what you already have in your closet to style something with, and how you could change it up for the seasons ahead.
Here I’ve styled it with espadrilles and a round woven tote for a casual yet classic look. And a denim jacket pairs beautifully with this dress for a cool evening or an air-conditioned restaurant.
Great for Travel
I’ve mentioned our upcoming cruise in July and that I’m getting prepared for the trip. I can see this dress used a number of ways. For tea or lunch on non-shore days, for sightseeing, and even for dinner–probably with a little cardigan. The breathable cotton fabric will be great for all of those events.
If you are looking for a cute little dress for the summer, be sure to check this one out. It’s affordable fashion at its best and can be worn a multitude of ways as part of your summer wardrobe.
