Trending: Shirt-dresses To Take You Everywhere in Spring

Although shirt-dresses never really left the fashion scene, the designers behind Rag & Bone, Phillip Lim and NAHM revisited and reinvented the classic silhouette for A/W 2011. The shirt-dress can take you anywhere from day to night and work to play, not to mention that it flatters all shapes and sizes, making anyone look put together without really trying at all (that's the trick, isn't it?). Of course as with any classic staple, it doesn't hurt to accessorize to make it all your own. So whether wear these with combat boots, wedges, a belt or some quirky jewelry, look smart in these fun must-haves for spring!

Fall 2011 Collections That You’d Want To Wear: Part I

There are those collections that you admire on other people (i.e. models in editorials) and there are those that you actually want on your back. The following collections give you the latter, with clothes that are wearable yet new and forward enough to satisfy a fashionista at heart.

NAHM (pictured above) – Ally Hilfiger (yes, that Hilfiger) and Nary Manivong collaborated to present their first collection that reinvents the shirt dress. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” the collection definitely has a certain dark and macabre feeling about it, destabilizing the concept of the simple staple and distorting it through asymmetrical hemlines and the use of unexpected black and clay-hued textured fabrics. With the duo’s successful inventiveness, the shirt dress will surely be “nevermore” boring again. Click to see more after the jump!
