<-h2->Navy and pale blue shirt dresses<-h2-> Shirt dresses in blue sit at the practical end of getting dressed well, and this selection spreads from pale chambray and denim washes through to deep navy and printed cornflower. Collars, button-through fronts, tie waists and midi lengths, cut in cotton poplin for warm days and softer twill for cooler ones. Wear a navy shirt dress with flat sandals and a woven tote on holiday, then add a heeled mule, a slim gold tone chain and a clutch for dinner on the same evening. A chambray version works open over straight-leg jeans and a vest, which makes it two pieces rather than one. Belt the waist to change the shape entirely, or leave it loose and let the fabric do what it wants. Layer a fine knit over the top for autumn with the skirt still showing. From light washes to inky navy, this edit covers the blue shirt dress in every weight worth having.
