Shift Dresses

Arguably the most timeless garment designed, the shift dress has effortlessly swung its way beyond the sixties and into the hall of fashion fame. Remaining as recognisable as it was some fifty years ago, the secret of the success of the shift dress lies simply in its simplicity. The shift dress brings together a clean silhouette and a universally flattering fit, this immortal dress smugly shows other dresses how it should be done. There is little wonder as to why it’s still hanging in our closets.

However, it hasn’t survived the test of time by accident. Chameleon in nature, it knows how to give itself a re vamp from time to time. The standard for what makes this dress its sexy shifty self, such as hanging from the shoulders and cut above the knee, have been pushed and different variations are all across the high street shelves. Its effortless ability to transcend seasons means it’s always a good investment, and it is about as dependable as a dress can come.

The best feature of this super dress is that it makes it pretty hard for you to wear it wrong. This dresses objective is to flatter you. Not many dresses aim to do that now do they? Classically, the shift dress does not have a defined waistline; this is, for most women, its biggest advantage. As no matter what size you are, the cut of this dress won’t make you feel conscious, but always super stylish. However if you like a fitted feel to your dress, a belt is a perfect way to not only accessorise your shift dress, but make it feel less casual. A statement black belt against a block colour can transform the shift dress into a dazzling dinner date winner, or for an even sexier look find a mini shift dress, it’s still as sexy as it ever was in the sixties!

There are not many dresses designed for heels and flat shoes. But, if Victoria Beckham can get away with teaming a shift dress with flat shoes, so can we! (Yes, Victoria Beckham in flat shoes) the pairing works well and super stylishly so too. Hell no to no heels? Any heel goes!

Give a nod to the founding sixties starlets who are synonymous with the style and character of this dress, team with chunky accessories to make a statement or false eye lashes and lashings of mascara, keeping the rest of your make up simple, Miss Twiggy would be proud!

Night out, or a laid back lunch date, this dress can be pulled on and still provide effortless style. Why oh why aren’t more dresses like the classical shift dress, eh ladies?
