The classic cut brings a laid-back look that will have you ready and out of the door within minutes.
We’re always searching for items that slot seamlessly into our wardrobes and make getting dressed easier each morning. Dresses tick both of those boxes, whether crafted from cotton, lightweight linen or in bright, white shades. But there is one style that’s slightly simpler than the rest, bringing a laid-back look with minimal form or fuss: the T-shirt dress.
As the name suggests, it looks much like your everyday T-shirt, yet longer in length with mini, midi and maxi options all available. Often crafted from cotton, they’re soft, snuggly and cut to simply cover the body – no figure-hugging fits or accentuated waists in sight. Plus, they’re one of the easiest items to style; simply pull on your trainers, flip flops or cowboy boots and shrug on a denim jacket, and you’ll be out of the front door within minutes.
Below, we’ve listed some of our favourite styles from fan-favourite brands Aligne, Cos, Jigsaw and more, to suit every style and budget.
Jigsaw cotton Riley T-shirt dress
Bright and bold and just in time for summer, this Jigsaw T-shirt dress is quite the standout. Extra-large sleeves and a near-knee length give it a classic oversized fit while the simple shape makes it incredibly wearable. Throw on a denim jacket and sandals and you’ll be ready for all warm weather days.
Asos Design Curve oversized midaxi t-shirt dress in white and black stripe
This Asos Design style ticks every classic T-shirt dress box. Crafted from 100% cotton, it’s soft and cosy while the classic maxi cut really does look like a T-shirt but longer. We couldn’t think of a more easy to throw-on-and-go style.
Shop Asos Design Curve oversized midaxi t-shirt dress in white and black stripe, £22
Aligne Grace denim pocket mini dress
For a more structured T-shirt style, opt for a denim design such as this Aligne find. Simple in shape, the oversized fit will hold its form thanks to the heavyweight fabric, creating volume for a more elevated look.
Lucy & Yak lacey T-shirt dress
Stocked in sizes 6 to 32, this Lucy & Yak option is designed for a wide range of body shapes and sizes – something we love to see. Made from organic cotton, it’s sure to feel great against the skin, too.
Cos split-hem midi T-shirt dress
Trust Cos to take a classic T-shirt dress and elevate it. This khaki cotton-jersey style is not only comfortable but chic too, making it the perfect option for almost any occasion, formal office environments included.
Sézane Emy dress
With thick parasol stripes and a nautical colour scheme, this Sézane option feels like the perfect pick for summer. Made from organic cotton, it’s sure to keep you cool while the knee-high slit makes it much easier to walk in.
Studio Nicholson stokes dress
If you’re searching for a more luxurious option, Studio Nicholson is sure to fit the bill. With exaggerated sleeves and a midi length, the black dress is simple yet striking and crafted from a heavyweight cotton to feel a little thicker.
H&M waisted T-shirt dress
Generally, T-shirt dresses are cut straight up and down (as per the classic T-shirt fit), but if you’re after a slightly more form-fitting option, we think we’ve found it. This H&M option has more of a fitted waist, helping to accentuate the curves of your body.
River Island Plus khaki T-shirt midi dress
High street stalwart River Island also has a great T-shirt dress style this season, available in khaki and black. Again crafted from cotton, it’s soft and cosy while the knee-high slit makes it a breeze to walk in.
