The Boyfriend Shirt-Dress
I first saw this look on TMZ when paparazzi filmed Vanessa Hudgens casually shopping around West Hollywood in only her boyfriend Zach Efron’s plaid buttondown shirt. She looks like she just rolled out of bed looking fabulous. Her rolled up sleeves and a unique bracelet, coupled with her big, brown bag and matching gladiator sandals make a statement that says she doesn’t need to try hard to look cute.
Unfortunately, not all of us are bold enough to walk around in nothing but an over-sized button-down shirt. And most of us do need to try hard.
As a solution, a lot of designers are carrying a similar, menswear-inspired shirt-dress that gives you an-almost-the-same casually gorgeous look.
Forever21 carries this plaid dress-shirt for $20 that’s belted around the waist to give your body more shape. It doesn’t have the same ultimate casual appeal to it, but the lightweight fabric and the resemblance to a men’s button-down gets the job done. Some celebrities like Alessandra Ambrosio have been seen wearing the same style but with more of a crisper material, which turns this casual day dress to one you can wear to a night on the town and still keep that sexy appeal.
Either way it’s gorgeous!
