Zenana Striped Collared Half Button Shirt Dress

A striped shirt dress is one of those pieces that looks like you planned your outfit when in truth you pulled one thing off a hanger. The collar gives it structure at the neck, the half button placket lets you decide how open or closed you want the top to sit, and the stripes handle everything else. It lands somewhere between relaxed and put together, which is exactly the register most days call for.

The fabric is 92%POLYESTER, 8%SPANDEX and it is listed with no stretch, and the body is not lined. It has pockets, which is the detail that turns a nice dress into one you actually reach for, because your hands have somewhere to go and your phone has somewhere to sit. Sizes run S, M and L, and because there is no give in the fabric it is worth reading the bust, waist and hip ranges in the table below rather than assuming your usual letter will land where you expect.

White sneakers make this an errands dress, and that is probably how it will spend most of its life. Flat sandals and a tote take it to lunch with friends without asking you to change anything else. Add a belt at the waist if you want more shape, or leave it loose and let the stripes run straight down. When the weather cools, layer a denim jacket over the top and add ankle boots, or wear a fine knit underneath with the collar sitting out. Black stripes are the easiest version of this idea, and they go with every shoe you already own.
