Vogue’s favourite T-shirt dresses
Casual in spirit yet easy to dress up, the T-shirt dress has all the markings of a warm-weather wardrobe hero. The ultimate chameleon, its simplicity is exactly what makes it so wearable—it’s essentially a blank canvas ready to be painted a hundred different ways. On its own, it gives cool-girl, effortless vibes for errands, weekend mornings, or brunch. Throw on knee-high motorcycle boots, and you’re in your Glastonbury era. Wear it with a basket bag and a heeled thong sandal, and it’s giving off-duty supermodel. You can accessorise with a silk scarf tied around the waist, toss a shell-laden pendant around your neck, or belt it for an evening out. Because it blurs the line between pulled-together and laid-back, it works for almost every setting.
