Summer is still summering here in the UK and, honestly, we couldn't be happier about it. After all, in just a few weeks, the days will get shorter, the temperature will get chillier, and we'll be reminiscing on Sundays spent sipping matcha in the park. That said, given how warm it has been of late, finding new 'fits for our summer rotation hasn't been easy. Enter: the shirt dress.
Unlike some summer dresses, shirt dresses are a practical option that can easily take you from the office to your evening plans. They're "smart" enough to wear to that big meeting with your boss, but still chic enough to sit alongside an Aperol Spritz on the Amalfi Coast.
Shirt dresses are also super flattering, with most featuring some form of gathered waist and a floaty skirt. Speaking of which, New Look's Toggle Shirt Midi Dress has exactly that... and you can get it in this season's trendiest colour (read: lawn green).
Ideal for commuting to work and casual days out, New Look's shirt dress has short sleeves and is made from a lightweight, woven material that's guaranteed to keep you cool. It has a grandad-style collar that can be adjusted to show more or less cleavage using the contrasting gold-look buttons. The tie-front belt can also be adjusted, so you can wear this New Look shirt dress nipped in tight or with a looser fit. As mentioned, it's available in lawn green (a colour you'll be seeing more and more of) as well as other trendy summer shades, like cobalt blue and coral.
