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.
