Details from the men's wardrobe - a stand-up collar, chest pockets, cuffs, a through fastener or a polo fastener, etc., as is often the case, make the beautiful floor even more feminine.
True, the style of this dress was borrowed from the men's wardrobe during the period of the active struggle of women for emancipation - during the First World War. First showed it on the catwalk of fashion already known for its innovations Coco Chanel. And in the 60s of the last century dress shirt fits perfectly into the styles of the famous era of mini - and since then has firmly maintained its position in the world of fashion, changing its length and details.
So, it can be straight and short or fitted and long. The first option is ideal for young skinny girls, the second - for everyone without exception, and especially for large sizes. A through fastener, a slightly flared bottom visually stretch the figure, and details such as pockets, shoulder straps, stitches, fabric belts can focus on a specific part of the body. The degrade effect in the fabric pattern (lighter on the sides) can turn it into a blended dress, which optically also makes the figure taller and a couple of sizes smaller. And finally, depending on the type of fabric, a dress-shirt is perfect for a summer picnic or a beach holiday, and for cool weather or for office work at any time of the year.

This style is also relevant for the upcoming seasons.Short, with accent stitching, clasp to the middle of the chest - in the style of the 60s, like an English supermodel, actress and singer Twiggy (from twigg - reed), voluminous, with a wide bottom, sleeve-barrels and a waist-tightening belt. Plain and dark, with a white turn-down collar, a through fastener and three-quarter sleeves, or fabric with a fancy geometric pattern, a very short sleeve and a three-button polo closure.
Dress-shirts look great separately - and so they are worn most often, because they, unlike many other styles, skillfully hide small figure flaws. But they are also beautifully combined: short ones - with jeans and tight trousers - both fashionable, cropped, and leggings. Longer and ankle-length look good with wide trousers. Dress-up shirts easily turn into a coat for a cool summer evening, representing a great alternative to knitted cardigans and strict jackets or short blazers.
In general, this style is universal and at least one such dress should be present in the wardrobe of every woman.
