11 stylish shirt dresses from $28 that are timelessly chic

Button up in one of these stylish shirt dresses the next time you need a fuss-free look for work or a weekend gathering.

We’re all for easy looks that can get you out the door in under 15 minutes, keep you looking (and feeling) your best and have tremendous staying power in your wardrobe. Whether you’re headed to the office place, or hanging with friends at a cafe for brunch, the shirt dress is a great contender to get you out the door in seconds.

We know what you might think: shirt dresses sound either too stuffy and dowdy, or too polished to be worn outside of your 9-to-5 job.  Truth is, it all boils down to the details, colour and fit. Striped cottons and prim collars suit a place of work better, but there are equally plenty of shirt dress designs in looser cuts and flirty colours catered for those looking for something to lounge in. 

Just throw it on, button up, and complete it with a couple of accessories. You’re all set.

Flowy Shirt Dress, $65.90, Mango

Sometimes, all you need is a dress in a bright pop of colour – much like this zesty shade of orange – to lift your mood on those dreary weekday mornings. Plus, pintucked pleats along the bust and waist line give the dress a more flattering fit, so you can forgo the need for a sash or belt.
