Recently, light dresses of a free cut, reminiscent of an elongated shirt in appearance, have become increasingly popular. A variety of models are made from various kinds of fabrics, which, in addition to their attractive appearance and wild popularity, are also famous for their incredible convenience and wearing comfort. Let us consider in more detail how and with what to wear such a product, as well as the most popular models and color prints.

The shirt dress, like many other trendy items that remain at the peak of popularity year after year, was created by the great woman fashion designer Coco Chanel, who took an ordinary men's shirt as a basis for cutting.

Being a supporter of loose-fitting clothes and avoiding tight corsets in the creation of her models, she designed the first shirt dress to look like a men's shirt, elongated to the knee, straight cut, without any darts at the waist.

The shirt dress has a slightly elongated shoulder line, and also, in the cases of some models, has a belt at the waist made of the same fabric or decor in the form of a thin leather strap. Usually, a shirt dress has a full-length button closure, but some designers get creative and innovate by introducing fasteners to the world in the form of a thin zipper or a model that is worn simply by smell.

Over the years, the men's cut shirt dress is still the same popularity as before, but since fashion does not stand still, and many fashion houses are quite interested in this item, newer models have been developed that are no less stylish. Consider the most popular shirt dress models, as well as their stylistic features and options for combining with other things.

The model with open shoulders does not imply the absence of sleeves, on the contrary, long sleeves will be especially convenient and useful. A shirt dress with bare shoulders is a small cutout on the sleeves, in the shoulder area, whereby the shoulders are open.

A shirt dress decorated with lace can be made in different variations, and thus determining the use of this item for various situations. For example, a model made entirely of fabric, but decorated with lace only at the bottom, on the hem, is quite suitable for use in urban environments.

There are also models that are a half combination of ordinary cotton fabric and lace, that is, the top of the dress, as a rule, looks like a regular shirt, and starting from the waist line, the dress continues with lace fabric. This model suggests that you should wear leggings, jeans or a thin dress with a tight fit under it.

This model is easy to use, since there is no need to fasten numerous buttons, which definitely saves time. But you should be careful with the model of a wrap dress shirt, because some models look like a medical uniform and are not entirely appropriate for everyday use.

In addition to the varieties in the lineup, shirt dresses are distinguished by the fabric from which they are made. We have compiled a list of the most popular materials for sewing dresses of this model.

Linen is a natural material of plant origin, which is why it is in great demand in the manufacture of summer clothes.

A shirt dress made of linen will be ideal for a hot day, since this material is characterized by the fact that it “breathes” well, that is, it allows air to pass through, and also absorbs moisture without retaining it on the body. But this material has one significant drawback - it is very poorly ironed and it is almost impossible to smooth a linen dress to perfect condition. Also, the material is a little stiff in structure and not as pleasant to the body as many others, so it can cause a little discomfort.

Jeans are usually made from denim because it is a dense coarse fabric. Denim shirt dresses have a denser texture than cotton or linen, so they are ideal for cooler summer days. In addition, the material looks very stylish and does not need additional accessories, since often the main decoration of such products are stylish metal buttons.

Chiffon shirt dresses look very gentle and airy, since chiffon itself is a light flowing material. Dresses made from this fabric are perfect for the summer season, as well as for festive events and romantic dates. A fitted shirt dress with long sleeves, dark in color, may well fit into the office style.

Guipure is a lacy, thin fabric, slightly transparent and reminiscent of underwear, so it implies the use of a guipure shirt dress as a cape, complementing a solid dress.

Cotton shirt dresses are truly versatile, because they are made, like linen, from natural material, which also tends to ventilate and absorb excess moisture. In addition, unlike linen material, cotton is perfectly smoothed, and is also soft and pleasant to the touch, which will save you from any kind of uncomfortable sensations.

The staple is a soft, dense, but at the same time light fabric that combines cotton and viscose fibers. Very often, shirt dresses with floral colors are made from this fabric.

Vyskoza is a rather interesting material in the sense that its manufacture occurs artificially, but from natural materials. The fabric is quite soft and light and is perfect for sewing shirt dresses with a straight cut and oversized style.

Batiste is one of the varieties of linen and cotton fabrics, representing a thin, lightweight material. The cambric shirt dress is the perfect option for a beach style and use it as an addition to a swimsuit.

Knitwear is a fairly lightweight material that tends to stretch. That is why often knitted shirt dresses are tight and fit girls with ideal parameters.

A lot has already been said about the diversity of the model range and the fabric variations in the manufacture of shirt dresses, which are so popular this season. In addition, there is a wide variety of color palettes, the most popular colors of which we will consider right now.

White color, being the main representative among classic colors, never ceases to be popular. The most relevant are white shirt dresses, presented in beach and office models, since in the first case it protects well from the heat, and in the second it does not go beyond the dress code.

Black, like white, is a classic color and is just as suitable for a shirt dress in an office style. In addition, black dresses with various kinds of embroidery can be a worthy option for parties and corporate events.

Pink is not suitable for all girls, because too bright pink color can make your skin pale and even give it an unhealthy shade. Therefore, if you already have pale skin, we advise you to choose white, delicate shades of pink that go well with white and beige colors.

Yellow is quite popular as it is somewhat of a warm summer color and everyone wants to feel warm in cool weather. The most popular shade of yellow in clothing is light lemon, corn, mustard, some prefer amber, but the main thing is to combine them correctly with other colors.

Beige is a calm warm shade and does not tolerate combination with bright colors, because it immediately gets lost in it and does not quite fit into the image. Therefore, we advise you to combine a beige shirt dress with light shades that are as warm as he is. For example, ivory, light lemon, light peach.

Bright, sunny orange is best paired with discreet hues like white and taupe so as not to overwhelm the look.

Purple is a brighter shade of lilac, so all the same tips can be applied to it. Plus, purple goes well with champagne and pink.

This look is perfect for hot summer weather.But it is worth considering, if you want the shorts to be visible from under the dress, you should choose a model to the knee or medium length.
