Summer Essentials: Shirtdresses for Work

Jun 6, 2022

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.

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
