Shirt dresses have been a staple of women’s wardrobes for years. Every season, many stores are guaranteed to carry at least one variation on the classic style. However, Spring 2021 has seen a spike in popularity of the shirt dress, bringing with it many new ways to enjoy the look.

Classic

In past seasons, shirt dresses came in a few classic colors and patterns: white, olive, black, denim, khaki, and blue and white striped. These traditional styles are staples and will make your wardrobe appear timeless and intentional.

Colorful

If you’re looking for something slightly more adventurous, a colorful shirt dress is a great way to make your wardrobe more contemporary!

Patterned

Another twist on shirt dresses we’re seeing in Spring 2021 is the emergence of bold patterns. From colorblock styles to other trendy prints like gingham and ombre, there are many adventurous patterns to choose from!

Polo

Are you looking to echo the preppy outfits of the 1980s? Polo shirt dresses are a great choice for you!

Polo shirt dresses are easy to style: all you have to do is throw on a pair of white sneakers to create a simple, polished look. Another bonus? Polo shirt dresses are super comfortable!

T-Shirt

If you’re looking for a look that’s slightly more versatile than a polo shirt dress but just as comfortable and easy to style, try a t-shirt dress.

For maximum simplicity, accessorize with your favorite sneakers or combat boots. If you’re petite or want to give your dress a bit more structure, add a belt or tie a sweater around your waist.

Sleeveless

If you live in a warm climate, a long-sleeve shirt dress may be too much. Luckily, Spring 2021 has seen a re-emergence of sleeveless shirt dresses!

From classic colors and patterns to bold colors and prints, there is a sleeveless shirt dress for everyone.

Maxi

One more final trend we’re seeing a lot of in Spring 2021 is the maxi shirt dress.

The maxi length gives the style a bit more personality. It’s also a great choice for fashionistas living in cooler climates.
