If you want to know how to style a shirt dress, keep on reading.


Belt

1. Belt

The first way to dress up a basic shirt dress is by adding a belt.


I like working with contrasting colors, and nothing is more contrasting than white set against a black background. This small addition is truly transformative. 

Pants

2. Pants

Did you know that you can wear a shirt dress with a pair of pants? Simply unbutton the bottom half of it.


I once again opted for white to create a high-contrast effect. I love the fit and flare look of the buttoned-up top half of the dress and the open flowy look of the bottom.

Sweater

3. Sweater

The last look features a red sweater worn over the neck, sunglasses, and a chain bag. A brightly colored sweater makes a great accessory, and you also have the option of popping it on if you get a bit chilly.


The bold red is a great pop of color in an otherwise monochrome look. A hat finishes off the look.
