Summer Shirt Dresses
There is something so chic and effortless about a summer shirt dress. It feels more polished than a t-shirt dress or kaftan, but it’s just as easy. It defines the waist, and it’s definitely Marge Sherwood approved. Today I’m rounding up a few favorites, spanning classic to more trendy.
A few highlights / personal favorites:
- This Sandro dress is perfection. I love the crisp white and really like that it has a tie at the waist to ensure a perfect fit. For a similar look, try this Ann Taylor dress (just marked down to under $100!)
- This Bardot dress is a fantastic price. I love the ties at the side: a unique way to ensure a personalized fit.
- This Tanya Taylor dress is one of my favorite possessions… the fit is just perfect. It comes in black too now. Use code GRACE20 for 20% off!
- Evi Grintela is a new-to-me favorite. My friend Jillian always has the best dresses and was wearing a dress by her; it caused an immediate rabbithole for me. I bought this one and love this one, also this one which just got marked down; and I am now stalking The RealReal too.

I pretty much only wear shirt dresses in the warmer months and sweater dresses in the cooler months. They are so versatile and comfortable for travel too. Thanks for this roundup as I am always on the hunt!
Oh good, happy to hear it! 🙂
