What Is a Shift Dress?
A shift dress is a simple, straight-cut dress that hangs from the shoulders without a defined waist.
Start searchingGood to know
The shift’s clean, unfussy shape made it an icon of 1960s style. It skims rather than clings, which makes it easy to wear and easy to dress up or down.
How to wear it
Add a belt to define the waist, or keep it straight and let statement earrings or bold shoes do the work.
