The shirtdress. Not only is this a perfect piece for transitioning into warmer weather, but when worn correctly, the shirtdress can add the perfect amount of masculinity and professionalism into an outfit. This Fashionista successfully dons this piece, as she juxtaposes the more masculine and loose-fitting dress with a girly hint of pink in her socks and some cute heeled booties.
The polka-dotted shirtdress is simple, yet eye-catching. The pattern on the dress adds a bit of detail and is more of a feminine pattern, perfectly contrasting the more masculine elements of the piece. This loose-fitting, oversized dress is an easy going and comfortable item. Although this is a spin off the classic, dressy men’s button-down shirt, the loose-fitting style allows for a more casual look to be emanated.
To dress this look up a bit and contrast the masculine elements, this Fashionista dons some pink socks which peak out of her heeled booties. The socks allow for a pop of color to enter into the outfit. She also sports this light pink color on her nails, subtly coordinating this girly hue. Additionally, this Fashionista pulls her hair up into a top knot, further exuding a casual, yet professional look. To finish off her outfit, she carries a navy blue Marc Jacobs tote, matching the color of her navy blue dress.
Overall, the shirtdress is a lightweight piece, making it perfect for the springtime. It can be dressed down with a pair of sneakers or dressed up with a cute pair of heels as this Fashionista does, exemplifying the versatility of this item. Whichever way you decide to accessorize, this dress is perfect for switching up your usual feminine look.
