Preppy Peerless Pleats Shirt Layered Pinafore Dress Black

(Inner Shirt & Outer Slip Dress are sold together as a set)

Go better and bolder in this contemporary take on two classic styles: the slip dress and boyfriend shirt. Which colour to take? Black and white is the most classic; whilst a heathered grey appearance confers subtle dimension. A 2 piece design featuring a layered slip dress over a clean and crisp white, full-bodied boyfriend shirt, the tweed grey/solid black slip can work as a pinafore or unconventional vest; whichever works for you. Feminine meets androgyny in these two styles, where we lay a slip pinafore over a shirt for a structured and sartorial take on office dressing. Both offer a deconstructed air and laidback way of dressing; but together they can look smart, sharp and preppy, or it can easily work the street casual way too. This wardrobe winner is comfortable, yet expresses your individuality. If there's one thing that a woman should own at any time of year, it's a shirt - the official any-weather styling prop. We love the layered look achieved on this one-piece, that it appears to give the fluidity of layering by offering the peek of white crisp shirt on the collars and sleeves, yet is designed to essentially look like a full piece number, so you get to achieve a 2 piece, layered look. Simultaneously sporty and charismatically chic, evoking a schoolgirl charm in its seriousness, this two piece dress ticks all right style boxes. Featuring a buttoned shirt collar, injected with a collegiate feel in its preppy style, finished with a cute pinafore style with a light peplum hem finish with asymmetric pleats and in a work-appropriate length. This dress manages to stun and impress using the easiest and cleanest of all - the monochrome colour palette. A revamped shirt dress classic, this shirt dress is fashion forward and distinctly urban, formal enough for the workplace yet with a fun edge that makes it casual enough for off-duty days as well. A bandeau cut in solid contrasting hues features fold down flaps and decorative buttons that run diagonally across the bodice for a diverse and smart workwear look. Re-working the buttoned-up fashion of the time with a certain ‘undoneness’, it’s cut with a fitted bodice that flares out to a pleated skirt tiered with an asymmetric overlay reminiscent of the era’s layered crinolines. The voluminous puff sleeves balance out the sleek and structured look of the slip layered over. Decorative buttons and pocket on dress. Adjustable straps. Skirt is fully lined, not sheer. Functional buttons on inner shirt. Concealed back zip closure for dress, button front styling for shirt. Made of cotton twill and linen blend. Comes in grey and black. Available in sizes S, M & L.
