11 Shirtdresses Perfect For the Dog Days of Summer and Beyond

We've been seeing a lot of bold-hued statement dresses lately, with Eva Mendes's daytime orange iteration at top of mind. Follow suit on this trend, but put a red, polished collar spin on it. Want to give it an edgier feel? Wear it with a leather jacket and ankle boots, too.

Try a cool, Western-inspired take on the LBD. We're obsessed with this lightweight denim in a distressed black jean wash dress. For cooler temps, throw on an oversized, cream-hued version.

Sure, this is a bit of a shirtdress splurge, but we can't get enough of the sweet rose pattern alongside a crisp, schoolgirl collar and billowy chiffon sleeves. It has feminine Fall dressing written all over it.

This is great for right now, but it's long enough and in the perfect shade for Fall, too. This dress would look amazing with a pair of brown suede lace-up boots.

We were instantly reminded of Kate Middleton's chic, slate-gray dress style when we spotted this ultrastructured sheath. It's sharp enough for the office and sleek enough for the after-hours crowd.

We adore the ladylike quality of this vintage-china-printed shirtdress, but its edgier cutout details at the shoulder give it a modern appeal. While it's still warm out, wear it with high-top Chucks and a downtown shoulder bag. When it cools down, throw on a lightweight trench coat and flat boots.

What better way to style yourself for the seasonal shift than with a shirtdress? It's a perfect in-between combination of low-key and ladylike (just look to the crisp collars and sweet prints) with a more glamorous dress twist (full-skirted or long and silky, you can play with hem length to give it a formal boost). Plus, talk about a piece with versatility. If you're in for another haul of hot, hot days, then pair your white poplin shirtdress with Grecian sandals and a straw fedora. If you want to wear your laid-back sheath to work, then dress it up with polished loafers and a slick portfolio tote. Or if you're planning on taking this look to after-hours cocktails, add a sexy pair of lace-up wedges and a leather jacket. In the twilight of Summer - and with Fall just over the horizon - we've already scouted out 11 shirtdresses that will stick with us through it all. Click through to shop our editors' top picks now.
