Having become a staple for Jasper Conran - refresh your memory with our history of the style here - the shirt dress is reimagined for the season through beautiful tactile fabrics, eye catching prints and contemporary details. The perfect transitional layer, this versatile dress takes you seamlessly from work to an evening out. Read on to discover how we have reworked our favourite dress for Autumn/Winter 2022, and some tips on how to style the shirt dress for effortless yet perfectly put-together looks…
We are excited to introduce denim and needlecord for the colder months, providing warmth, flattering structure and a new take on casual dressing. The Cyd Dress is a masterclass in luxe-utility, cut in superfine denim with contrast topstitching that adds definition in all the right places, alongside our cotton needlecord Constance with functional d-ring detail on the belt. Layer over a fine-knit roll neck and style with long boots for chilly winter days, complete with the Bee multi strap cross body which features bespoke hardware.
Looking for a dress that will work for the upcoming party season or a celebratory brunch? The Claudia is just that, in a black or olive green crepe fabric with an elegantly curved waistline and covered buttons. The Celia is our silk shirt dress, in a bold purple colour, perfect for those extra special events. Wear with the Brielle, a half-moon shoulder bag. Choose from classic black or trending olive green.
Bold print is a great way to refresh key items in your wardrobe, from the abstract polka dot pattern on Chloe to the geometric florals on Charlie. Our signature cotton Blythe dress is a true testament to the versatility of the shirt dress, uplifted for the season with new colour palettes and new prints. From rich chocolate to denim blue, these prints work from the office to social settings; use the detachable belt to cinch in the waist depending on the occasion.
Aside from our beautiful new prints and colours, the shirt dress has also been reimagined through textural techniques that create visual interest and a gorgeous silhouette. The softly structured Carrie has a wide elasticated shirred panel that is ultimately flattering, with shirring mirrored at the sleeves for ease of movement. Wear with the practical Baylee double pocket hobo to compliment the contemporary yet functional details of the dress.
So whether it’s fine needlecord, structured denim, autumnal colour palettes or geometric prints, our timeless shirt dresses have you covered whatever the occasion. Just add your favourite pair of boots and one of our classic handbags and you’re all set!
