Additional Styling Tips for Shirtdresses in the Summer

We’ve got more tricks up our sleeves. The following tips will help you unlock the full potential of your shirtdress, ensuring you look fabulous and feel confident all summer!

• Layer It Up: Wearing a shirtdress in summer works well. But on cooler summer evenings, throw on a lightweight cardigan or denim jacket to add depth to your look.

• Shoe Game: Swap between sandals, sneakers, and wedges to change up the vibe of your dress. Sandals are perfect for casual outings, while sneakers add a sporty twist, and wedges elevate the look for evening events.

• Accessories: Keep jewellery simple with your Alemais shirtdress, focusing on one statement piece like a bold necklace or oversized earrings. This helps maintain a balanced look without overwhelming the dress.

• Play with Textures: How to wear a shirtdress in summer: mix different textures like linen, cotton, or silk to add visual interest to your outfit. For example, pair a linen shirtdress with a suede belt for a chic contrast.
