What is a shirt dress?

A shirt dress borrows the details of a classic shirt: a collar, a button-front placket and usually cuffed sleeves. It blends a smart look with the comfort of a dress, which makes it a favourite for work, university and family visits.

How do you style a shirt dress?

With a belt: defines the waist for a polished look. Unbuttoned at the hem: over wide leg trousers for a relaxed outfit. With trainers: an easy weekend option.

Shirt dress or shirt tunic?

A shirt dress usually reaches the ankle and is worn on its own, while a shirt tunic is shorter and paired with trousers or a skirt. If you prefer shorter pieces, take a look at our shirt tunics, or browse all hijab dresses.
