Short Sleeve Mini Tee Dress with Pockets

This is the dress you reach for when the day has not told you what it wants yet. The Basic Bae tee dress keeps a round neck, short sleeves and a loose mini shape, which means it goes on in one motion and asks nothing else of you. Side pockets are the detail that turns it from a nice idea into something you actually wear on repeat, because your hands and your phone finally have somewhere to go.

The fabric is a slightly stretchy blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex and the body is not lined, so it stays light against the skin through warm weather. The loose cut skims rather than clings, which is what makes it comfortable across a long afternoon. It comes in five solid colors, moss, gray, taupe, coffee brown and black, all of them easy neutrals that take accessories well. Sizes run S through 3XL and the table below gives length, bust, shoulder, waist and hem for each one.

Because the color is solid and the shape is simple, styling is entirely up to you. Sandals and a canvas tote make it a running around dress. A denim jacket and sneakers give it shoulder season legs. Add a belt at the waist and a pair of boots and the same dress reads deliberately styled rather than thrown on. Layer it over leggings when the temperature drops and it keeps working well past summer.
