The shirt dress has become a fail-proof wardrobe piece to fall back on when it comes to dressing up for work or play thanks to its polished-meets-effortless appeal. The dress has popped up in several brands for Fall/Winter 2021, with newfangled details like elaborate balloon sleeves at Alexander McQueen’s and mini hemlines as seen at Valentino and Balenciaga.

Others like Bassike, Marques’ Almeida and Gamine Studio, meanwhile, catch our attention for their sustainable and body-positive iterations.
