That’s why you might want to consider a shirt dress. It says you’re all business, so bring on the day. But a shirt dress doesn’t have to be boring.



It can be fun and chic, just like the one we found at Walmart. You’ll want to spend all your time in the , which is less than $20. It looks like you’re ready for a safari or a trek through the jungle, but it fits like a trim bodycon dress and has plenty of pockets and is more lightweight than even a romper or two-piece matching set.

It’s the perfect option for a long day out or even to wear to work as part of a business casual event. It’s crafted from cooling cotton and is extremely comfortable, with an elastic waistband and self-tie belt that you can use to cinch your waist in for a more feminine fit. It’s also a button-up garment with two chest pockets and two side pockets, which means you don’t even have to carry a purse if you want to travel light.

You can also choose from multiple colors if you’d rather channel a different part of the wild. Sometimes you’ve gotta go for functionality over form. This isn’t one of those times.

Slip into this utility shirt dress and look like a million bucks when you’re out doing a million things. Just don’t slee.
