Fashion Uniform:
Denim Jacket + Shirt Dress + Sandals
The straightforward ease of a shirt dress is pretty undeniable, making it one of those pieces that you should happily collect in your wardrobe: there’s the classic white variety (look no further than goop Label’s very own Jean Poplin dress), polished takes on menswear shirting, beach-to-lunch versions in easy, crinkle fabrics, and then, embellished versions for when you need something a bit dressier. When paired with a trusty denim jacket and simple sandals, it’s kind of a summer no-brainer. Here, four combinations to get you started.

A Little LWD Goes A Long Way
Sometimes a little white dress is just the palette cleanser your wardrobe needs. Offering a respite from the seasonal cacophony of print and color, this shirt dress is pulled together, yet has an air of insouciance. (Not to mention, it looks great with sun-kissed skin and beachy waves.) Paired with a collarless denim jacket, textured sandals, and an embellished bucket bag, it’s the kind of uniform you’ll rely on all summer long.

The Long and Short of It
Menswear-inspired dressing is nothing new, but this striped shirt dress feels downright girlie thanks to the strategically flattering ruching and fit-and-flare silhouette. Polished accessories, like two-tone sandals (we love the pop of metallic) and a structured-yet-sweet bag lend a lady-like vibe.

In the Pink
This year’s beloved buzz word—and hue? Millennial pink. Hop on the trend with this lightweight shirtdress, which has a waist-defining belt to give it a feminine shape. And there’s perhaps no better moment to embrace an embellished small bag than summer, when your possessions are whittled down to a swipe of lip gloss, your wallet, and sunnies, and this Delpozo version in satin is a sure bet.

Petals with Mettle
On the other end of the spectrum, this shirt dress shies away from simplicity, and is, quite simply, a statement maker. Rendered in sheer silk organza, it’s got floral embroidery and sweet heart shaped buttons making it just as appropriate dressed up for a garden party as it is with simple sandals and a cylindrical bag, like this cult favorite from Simon Miller. The flared sleeves on this M.I.H jacket are a welcome match, too.
