The Oversize Shirtdresses Stylish Girls Love
The summer heat can be brutal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look chic in even the easiest throw-on-and-go items in your closet. And we’ve got just the solution for you. When all you want to do is slip a T-shirt over your head and walk out the door, and when pants seem all too fussy but you know you can’t exactly emerge from your home half-clothed, consider the oversize T-shirt dress. With the ease of wear of a simple cotton top yet streetwear-friendly, the simplest summer staples might have just become the most stylish one you own.
We’re shopping for our oversize T-shirt dresses this summer in everything from black to red to stripes, solids, and florals alike. We’re seeking out boxy silhouettes that give off a casual and sporty vibe, and yet we’re pairing them with everything from athletic-inspired sneakers to more sophisticated and refined ballet flats. If you’re looking for a simple solution to hot summer days, slip into one of these dresses and you’ll be good to go. With the simple addition of a belt and a little jewelry, you’ll be equally as ready to head to a summer soirée or the office. What’s more is that some of our favorite designers have fashioned the classic T-shirt shape in everything from traditional cotton jersey to silk, brocade, sweater knits, and more. Shop our 20 go-to looks below just in time for the dog days of summer.
With the above one-and-done summer solutions, you might never wear anything else again.
