Which is why I find myself gravitating towards shirt dresses at this time of year – the one style of dress that straddles both seasons seamlessly.
With that in mind, I’ve highlighted 5 of my favourite shirt dresses below.
In my opinion, you can throw any of these on in the last few weeks of summer and accessorise each with bare legs and sandals. As Autumn elbows its way in however, black tights, boots and blazers will work just as well too…
This dress oozes laid back fashion at its finest. From its flattering length to its ‘just the right amount of volume’ fit, it nails the brief effortlessly.
I can’t help but feel like I can run the world when I put this dress on! It’s the kind of dress that takes you from important work meetings to wine dates with friends with ease… and makes you feel fabulous whilst doing so!
This oversized cotton-poplin number from Patou is the epitome of white shirt dress chic. Subtly sexy and tailored to perfection, though I know it will look gorgeous with my Hermes Oran’s now, it will look even better with black tights and knee high boots in a matter of months!
If you’re looking for a white shirt dress that will keep you cool in a heatwave, look smart in the office and/or work with a tailored blazer and boots as the weather turns, look no further. Mango has you covered.
When in doubt, browse H&M! From its belted waist to its classic off-white shade, this shirt dress ticks all the boxes. The fact that it’s under £20 too? Even better.
Hosting a very special breakfast for my girls in honour of @princestrust and @thebrilliantbreakfast to raise money to help young women turn their lives around through work, education and training. A donation of £5 can enable a woman to simply travel to an interview which could go on to change her life forever so I would absolutely love it if you would join me in hosting your own Brilliant Breakfast between the 9th and 15th October, whether it’s simply coffee with a close friend, or encouraging your entire office to get involved, the funds raised will go towards helping young women, aged 11-30 create better futures for themselves.
And thank you to my angel @hello.petal.flowers for giving her time and creative flare to bring my vision for the breakfast to life, of course you don’t have to go with florals like me, but if that’s something you enjoy this is the perfect opportunity to throw a lovely breakfast with your girlfriends with a cause that will help so many other women, front and centre!

Paid partnership
The oldest English retailer of fragrance and still to this day is family owned. The @florislondon flagship on Jermyn Street was a real treat to experience recently. I purchased their Together Fragrance Customisation as a double gift for both Ali and I. I gave my overall thoughts on the experience in a recent YouTube video but overall we would highly reccomend! It was an incredible experience and I will continue to repurchase my custom fragrance for many years to come no doubt.
