Shirtdresses are perfect for summer. For a casual office, dress it down and wear it any day of the week. For a professional office, dress it up on Fridays for work. Here are a few that caught my eye.
This floral dress from Tahari looks great on the model, iffy on the hanger. It’s a pretty summer dress for less-than $50.
This shadow-stripe dress from Nanette Lepore gives basic navy a boost.
The print on this FRNCH dress is perfect for the office. Add a black or white blazer and a sleek pump to finish the look.
Thie striped Proenza Schouler dress is the most expensive one here, but it’s worth it. A shirtdress with drama.
This dress from Vero Moda Curve has one of the prettiest floral prints I’ve ever seen. Since I know plus-size readers likely experience disappointment when items don’t come in their size range, I must express my sadness that this fine frock only comes in sizes 12-24. (It’s selling out quickly in the larger sizes.)

I have a shirt dress I bought at Old Navy in high school (I’m 33 now) that is still going strong. I bought it kind of big then so it still fits now. Every time I wear it I get so many complements. The shirt dress is the most comfortable dress ever and will always look classic.
Honest question – can you all wear things with sleeves without sweating profusely? Even with the AC in the office and even with sleeveless I feel too hot with sleeves.
In the summer, I think it just depends on how breathable the fabric is and whether I’m going to be moving around a lot the day I wear the item. Deodorant is definitely key for helping to keep things fresh.
