Personally, this was the summer of the shirt dress. I look for a breathable fabrication that hits at the ankles. My favorites are from Cos, but there are great high-end and low-end options. Thankfully, Elin Kling shows us how to transition the shirt dress into fall with a pair of jeans.
COS is such a good option for basics with a twist.
I also love this crisp poplin shirt dress I picked up earlier this year while visiting India — the fabric is not too sheer for work and the length can be customised, which makes all the difference. https://sandbyshirin.com/collections/poplin-woman/products/lyon-dress-ivory
