SHIRTING has long been the backbone of my wardrobe – shirts with jeans, shirts with black trousers – mannish, non-decorative styles in classic white, blue, and banker stripes by designers like Céline, Valentino, Palmer//Harding (joint winners of this year’s BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund prize) and newcomer, Monographie, complete with irresistible tortoiseshell buttons. But as spring blooms, the shirtdress has become "the thing"; and it’s easy to see why. This extension of the shirt, sans trousers, is smart and chic and has the power to take you everywhere from the office to after-work drinks and all with the ease of it looking like something you’ve borrowed from your boyfriend. (On that note, to prevent it resembling an excuse-me-but-I-just-got-out-of-bed look ensure yours is crisp and not creased and furnish with jewellery - an armful of gold bangles, say - or a man’s watch). In other good news, there’s a shirtdress for every woman, from androgynous types to feminine souls – just dial up (or down) the flourish.
Where to look? Favourites include Raey’s short sleeved black style, Balenciaga’s blue striped version with button-back "tails", Loewe’s with sash-tied waist, Palmer//Harding’s tobacco-striped offering with asymmetric hemline and Sonia Rykiel’s mustard mini with balloon sleeves.
Of course, until pins are lightly sun-kissed (the shirtdress shouldn’t be attempted with tights – it’s just all wrong) no one actually said you had to lose the trousers. Last week, LA-based designer, Rosetta Getty instagrammed a picture of herself wearing her maxi white cotton shirtdress over a pair of indigo jeans, neatly tucked into the waistband or otherwise scooped back so it only looked like a shirtdress from behind with its dramatic cotton poplin train. Now there’s a way to make an entrance – and exit.
