SS06 Fashion Trend: Shirt Dresses on the Runway

Dresses are all the rage this summer. After a lot of magazine-reading and window-shopping, I'm totally into this trend now. OK, so today I'm looking into shirt dresses, which in my mind is very Kate Moss and Stella McCartney. I gathered a bunch of SS06 runway photos that show shirt dresses. A lot of these are debateable about whether they are actually shirt dresses or not, but I like to think of them as different styles of shirt dresses.

Stella McCartney -The classic one. Cool and effortlessly casual, and will definately give that 'just rolled out of bed' impression. But this also means this shirt dress is extremely difficult to wear in real life.

Marc by Marc Jacob -I love this shirt dress. One of the key trend to learn from this photo is layering. This season, remember to stock up on simple shirts with sleeves of all lengths and tanks. Another way I've seen people in real life wear this is to wear tights underneath.

Ralph Lauren -Blue and white is one of the easiest trend to wear and look stylish instantly. This dress is very Ralph Lauren -very clean.

Bottega Veneta -The extremely stylish, high maintanence version of shirt dresses. One fashionable styling trend this season is to wear a belt and accentuate the waist.

Prada - Polo dresses used to be only preppy, tennis/ golf-player's dresses. But this season, Prada brilliantly managed to transform them into artistic, expensive couture. To see these Prada dresses worn in a haute, sporty style, see this month's Vogue (both UK and US.)
