How to wear the T-shirt dress in style?

What is a T-shirt dress?

To begin with, a little clarification is in order. The tee-shirt dress is a long and rather wide tee-shirt that delicately dresses the figure. It is comfortable and easy to put on for a trip to the beach in the afternoon or a trip to the market in the morning.

There are many models of T-shirt dresses, because the simplicity of this garment perfectly supports the creativity of fashion designers. This is why it is a key piece of clothing that never goes out of fashion and is featured every year in the summer collections of the major fashion houses.

Which tee-shirt dress model should I choose?

We advise you to choose a cotton tee-shirt dress which is light and comfortable to wear. Cotton is an ideal material for summer as it does not get hot. Here are a few suggestions for the design of the dress:

• A neutral tee dress, with a classic round neck, short sleeves and a plain color .
• A T-shirt dress with a print, a logo, a message.
• An oversized T-shirt dress.
• A very elaborate or sweatshirt-inspired T-shirt dress.

Then it's up to you to find the piece you like best and put together the perfect look.
