Six Ways to Style the Same Shirt Dress


This H&M shirt dress has an elasticized waist, which is flattering for most shapes, and its maxi length makes it perfect for layering, even with trousers. In this tutorial, Giedre illustrates six different ways to style this shirt dress to create unique and trendy outfits.


A straw hat for texture

Add texture | Sporty Tourist

For this first look, Giedre styled the shirt dress with a few textured elements. She chose a wide-brimmed fedora to give the outfit a touristy vibe.

Use a scarf as a belt


She added a black and beige scarf as a belt to help accentuate her waist and rolled up the sleeves to style the dress up a bit.

Woven black bag


To add even more textured elements while keeping in the same color scheme and touristy vibe, she completed the look with a black woven purse. 

Cute shirt dress outfits


White canvas sneakers were the final touch. Giedre has taken the dress from a slightly baggy frock to a chic jet-setter look with just a few accessories.

Add structure with a blazer


Add structure | Business style

To style the dress for a business occasion, Giedre layered a black blazer over the dress and closed the top button.

 

Wide leather belt


She added a wide black leather belt with a striking buckle to add even more structure and detail.

 

Strappy black heels


Strappy black sandals with a chunky heel were Giedre’s choice of footwear for this look.

Versatile shirt dress outfits


And a beige tote completed the look. Who knew such a flowy dress could be styled so smartly? 

Large statement earrings

Dress it up | Evening style

To make the dress fit for an evening out, Giedre chose to style it with large, statement earrings.

Strappy gold heels


She chose delicate gold heels to step up the elegance of the look. 

Monochrome look


A wide belt in the same color as the dress helps turn the dress into a head-to-toe monochrome sheath while creating shape and accentuating her waist.

Basic shirt dress outfits


She added a cream-colored clutch to keep in the same color family as the rest of the look. Such an easy, elegant evening look!

Salmon slacks layered underneath

Layer | Feminine style

For the next look, Giedre started by opening the buttons of the dress below the waist and layering salmon-colored slacks underneath. 

Decorate with a scarf


She opened the neckline of the dress and chose a beige purse with chain detailing, decorated with a scarf, to add a little flair and fun to the look.

Pink pointed-toe flats bring cohesiveness to the outfit. What a fun, flirty, feminine look!

Black fedora for a boho look


A black fedora added yet more detail to the look while keeping with the color scheme.
