Summer Essential: The Shirt Dress

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

Dress: £55, Hush. Belt: £28.50, J Crew (buy the red version here). Sandals: £49.50, Birkenstock. Beachbag: bought in Nerja

It’s funny how a trend you hardly even thought about takes control of your wardrobe. I’ve bought 3 shirt dresses lately without realising its trend potential. This one from Hush is a great smart version for when you need to cover up on holiday yet still look smart (or stop for lunch).

Shirt dress: £55, Hush

I also bought this belt from J Crew just before my holidays – for £28.50, not only is it the cheapest thing in J Crew but it’s also a total outfit transformer, making everything from the simplest jersey dress, look a little more ‘Marant’. I bought the blue version instore but the red one is available online.

Belt: £28.50, J Crew
Utility shirt dress: £45, Oasis

Dress: in the sale £10 (only size 12 left), H&M. Sunglasses: £35, Le Specs. Sandals: £110, Ancient Greek Sandals (only size 40 left)
The ideal sightseeing dress – wearing a shirt dress in Istanbul. Shirt dress: £55, Asos. Denim jacket: J Crew (sold out but buy similar in the Mango sale here). Sandals: available in brown, £45, Asos. Bag: £170, M Hulot

    Love your holiday look – it's a bit edgy which is a good thing in my book!
