The shirt has many names. It is so universal that, together with classic jeans, it is an integral part of a woman’s wardrobe. Stylists have said for years that it can be worn with almost everything. Still, it also happens that it is entirely self-sufficient, so it does not need many additional companions to create a complete stylization. Long enough, it can be used as a looser dress for spring and summer.
Not only the white shirt, which until recently was considered particularly practical, reigns on the streets of the world’s fashion capitals. Minimalists (and not only them) more and more often reach for shirt models also in other colors, on the basis of which they compose unique stylizations throughout the year. In spring and summer, when the temperature is too high to wear pants, the girls in the industry reach for loose oversized shirts, wearing them like dresses. We have found four unique models of shirts for you, which (after choosing the right size) can be treated as alternatives to dresses.
We have a little pro tip for you. If you are afraid that the shirt you bought in a larger size will be too short, you can wear beige, seamless shorts underneath, which will not be visible but will make your move confidently without worrying that a light breeze will reveal too much.
Shirt instead of a dress – white with a slight twist
An ordinary white shirt is the most “in,” but even the slightest change of one element is enough for a seemingly simple model to turn into a unique fashion gem.
What twist do we mean? For example, the unique, three-dimensional texture of stripes on the fabric, extended cuffs, jewelry cufflinks that decorate them, or preferably all at once – as in the case of the Sublime White shirt by Karolina Naji. A long shirt creates an incredibly harmonious duo with heavy shoes but also with delicate stiletto sandals, comfortable Birkenstocks, or classic sneakers. A white shirt goes well with any footwear. Plus, it’s comfortable and airy, so you can throw it over your bathing suit on your way to the beach, yet sophisticated enough for a date night or dinner with friends.
Shirt instead of a dress – classic black
Deep black, 100% certified cotton, and an extended cuff can be worn in 4 ways. You can create a unique look in a rock style in combination with loafers on a thick sole or massive combat boot. Still, the black shirt in the scaled version also looks beautiful with subtle high heels and delicate ballerinas, which are the most desirable shoes of this season. In addition, jewelry in your favorite color and a sublime minimalist outfit are ready.
Shirt instead of a dress – blue striped
Probably all girls from the industry already have a blue shirt in their wardrobes because it is the second (right after the white shirt) universal classic that does not go out of fashion and perfectly matches other pieces of clothing. It goes well with classic jeans, elegant chinos, denim skirts, and so on because the truth is that a blue shirt works both as an element of formal styling and as a casual element of summer outfits. An oversized blue shirt worn instead of a dress looks incredibly nonchalant, so if you still need to get a blue shirt in your wardrobe, we suggest a striped version of the classic casual model. Necessarily in a larger size!
A shirt instead of a dress – pink in the spirit of Barbiecore
Pink has been filling not only the catwalks for some time now. The candy style of Barbiecore has largely taken over social media. Is it due to the upcoming release of the movie “Barbie” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling? To some extent, but above all, it is a nostalgic return to fashion from the 2000s, when shades of pink were high on the list of color trends. In recent decades, this color has undergone various transformations, often touching the borderline of kitsch, to be reborn in a modern, not only sweet and candy form with the return of the Y2K style. The pink shirt entered the current trends with a strong bang, so we will wear it in spring and summer instead of a dress in this version.
