Lily Aldridge wearing Ralph Lauren at The Met Ball

The shirt dress has been around forEVER and understandably so. It’s a classic style staple. Growing up, I remember my Mother wearing a bevy of beautiful shirt dresses everyday, little did I realize at the time that all Mother’s didn’t sport such a feminine silhouette to do house chores.

The shirt dress circa 1950

The shirt dress may be simple in style but add your own personal touches with statement jewelry, a great belt or colorful handbag and heels to make the look your own.
