Today we will not remember how an ordinary men's shirt turned into a women's dress, we have all known for a long time that a shirt dress is a must have in a women's wardrobe. Now we will consider only those models that were dictated by our famous designers in the new season of 2020.

In the classic version, this dress should contain those elements that are inherent in a man's shirt - a vertical swing bar with buttons, a stand-up collar or a turn-down collar, pockets and cuffs are possible if the sleeve in the dress is long. It was like this for a long time. But the designers got bored with it, and fashionistas always want something new, and even unusual.

In the new spring-summer 2020 season, designers have created models that will delight literally everyone.

Short shirt dress or floor-length

Let's start with the length of the dress. The choice is yours. Among the best models you will find mini, midi and maxi. The length should be chosen depending on the situation in which you will use this dress. It should be comfortable and practical. If it concerns a business setting, then the best option would be the midi length, and for young girls a mini is acceptable. Here, the shirt dress corresponds more to the classic version.

In everyday situations, any length is possible that will be comfortable for you. When creating the styles of these dresses, designers have more freedom to experiment. You will see models with an asymmetrical cut, and with tiered ruffles, a fluffy or pleated skirt, in a straight, fitted and loose cut, with decorative trim.

The most fashionable sleeves

One of the most important details of the dress is the sleeves. Designers work wonders with them. By changing only the shape and finish of the sleeves, an incredible number of models have been created. Puffy sleeves are in trend today. Some designers believe that puffy sleeves should be, and the more the better, because they are funny, and fashion relies on play. Others believe that they have romance, and this is their strength.



Huge puffy sleeves will keep their shape well if the dress is sewn from a denser fabric. When choosing a shirt dress with such sleeves, try to take a critical look at yourself. Not always a fashionable thing will adorn every fashionista. The female models on the catwalk are slim and tall. And the rest of the girls should make a choice of style, based on their proportions.

Evening dress shirt

Yes, there are such dresses, and not only evening models, but also wedding... Does it seem that a shirt is a place only in a business or everyday situation? However, take a look at the collection of Lebanese designer Elie Saab, and you will see that shirt dresses can become luxurious, as, indeed, all models of this brand.

Elie Saab drew attention to cutwork embroidery, which enhances the richness of the décor of the dresses. Fluffy skirts and sleeves emphasize the romance of the outfit. Safari elements are added to the classic shirt dress with large patch pockets and light beige shades.

Some models are made with a vertical strap and many buttons to the very bottom of the product, while others are polo dresses in which the strap ends at the waist or chest. And in fact, and in another case, we have a dress-shirt with classic elements.

How to wear a dress shirt in the new season?

Designers recommend not buttoning a long shirt dress to the end. You can also unbutton a short dress, paying attention to the fact that you are also wearing shorts, better of the same color.

A shirt dress with trousers or jeans is stylish and comfortable. The youngest and slender girls can wear a shirt dress both as a dress and as a shirt.

Actual color palette

Of course, the choice of color and print is yours. But still, the designers preferred white on the catwalk.



The shirt dress has many such options that have deviated far from the classic model. In the new season, you can wear a denim model, with an Angelica neckline, with sleeves and without sleeves, an asymmetrical model, in the safari style, but the most original will be dresses with puffy voluminous sleeves.
