The shirtdress is anything but boring for this season, with cinched in waists and thigh high splits shown on the catwalk, this will be your super sexy dress for summer. Stick to classic pastel shades or choose stripes in either vertical (Altuzarra) or diagonal (Rachel Minkoff) lines. There are so many variations on this trend, making it a great piece to invest in, not just in one style but many. Short or long, structured or free flowing, sleeves capped or no sleeves at all – each one can work wonderfully with layers under or over the top before the weather gets warmer. Equally, a short shirtdress would look gorgeous with tights and over knee boots, this trends adds a touch of spring in anticipation of the warmer weather.

Look no further than Topshop for this trend; they come up trumps with a variety of different styles, colours and textures!
