Ladies, listen up: it is my unwavering belief that you all need at least one shirt dress in your wardrobes. Like the boyfriend blazer or Louboutin pointy-toed stiletto, it’s a quintessential must-have that’s easy to pack, versatile as can be and truly figure flattering no matter your curves (or lack thereof). And if your budget allows, then let Giambattista Valli be your guide. This Parisian Italian’s flare for drama is unprecedented; who else can take a simple cotton poplin short sleeved shirt dress and va-va-voom it up with this sexy black and beige print? Many try, but Valli’s work screams elegance and taste. Fully lined, a simple folded collar and full skirt–note the chic gathered pleat detailing at the waist–help accentuate all the right body parts, which puts on rather simply thanks to a hidden front snap closure.
