Best Shirtdresses For Summer and Fall 2012

What better way to style yourself for the seasonal shift than with a shirtdress? It's a perfect in-between combination of low-key and ladylike (just look to the crisp collars and sweet prints) with a more glamorous dress twist (full-skirted or long and silky, you can play with hem length to give it a formal boost). Plus, talk about a piece with versatility. If you're in for another haul of hot, hot days, then pair your white poplin shirtdress with Grecian sandals and a straw fedora. If you want to wear your laid-back sheath to work, then dress it up with polished loafers and a slick portfolio tote. Or if you're planning on taking this look to after-hours cocktails, add a sexy pair of lace-up wedges and a leather jacket. In the twilight of Summer — and with Fall just over the horizon — we've already scouted out 11 shirtdresses that will stick with us through it all. Click through to shop our editors' top picks now.
