After reading about people opting to wear comfortable and stylish dresses [1] while they work from home as a way to change up the routine of reaching for cute loungewear [2], I became intrigued. Would that feel weird or liberating? Wearing a dress while staying indoors may seem unnecessary, but it doesn't have to feel fussy or silly. If you find dresses that are just as comfortable as wearing matching sweatpants [3] or soft T-shirts I'd argue that it's a much easier way to get dressed.
Old Navy has hundreds of stylish dresses right now — many of which are throw-on-and-go — so we went ahead and rounded up our favourite easy pieces. Though I'll always be a loungewear girl at heart, I switched things up this week and wore as many dresses as I could. It's been easier than ever to get dressed in the morning and completely changing my mood! I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror the other day and ended up putting on lipstick just for the heck of it. If you're shopping for a few new pieces, I've highlighted my favourites.
Sleeveless V-Neck Maxi Shift Dress
This Sleeveless V-Neck Maxi Shift Dress [5] ($12, originally $35) is definitely one of my favourite picks. I've seen a number of people wearing it on Instagram, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's thin, soft, and can easily be worn over a T-shirt to change up the look.
Sleeveless Jersey Swing Dress
Warm days call for something like this throw-on-and-go Sleeveless Jersey Swing Dress [6] ($15, originally $30). It comes in 12 shades and feels like you're just wearing a T-shirt.
Old Navy Printed Cold-Shoulder Plus-Size Cami Swing Dress
This Printed Cold-Shoulder Plus-Size Cami Swing Dress [7] ($40) is made of an ultrasoft lightweight woven rayon, and has sewn-in adjustable straps so you never have to feel like it might slip off your shoulders. It also comes in an adorable floral print and is the perfect thing to throw on for the day.
Linen-Blend Utility Tie-Belt Shirt Dress
If I could fill my closet with rich neutral-tones like this Linen-Blend Utility Tie-Belt Shirt Dress [8] ($35) I would. It also comes in army green and black.
Fitted High-Neck Rib-Knit Sleeveless Midi Dress
I can't help but feel my best in a soft halter top (especially if it's warm outside), and I love the thin texture of this Fitted High-Neck Rib-Knit Sleeveless Midi Dress [9] ($29). It will be so great for hot days.
Gingham Tiered Plus-Size Maxi Sundress
Gingham print always puts a smile on my face, which is why I love this Gingham Tiered Plus-Size Maxi Sundress [10] ($50).
Tie-Belt Maxi Tee Dress for Women
I'm all about animal print these days, and the Tie-Belt Maxi Tee Dress for Women [11] ($20) is a great combo. It features an on-trend print but is super soft and casual to wear. I want to pull my hair into a high bun, throw this on, and maybe finish with a bright lip tint.
Old Navy Printed Fit & Flare Cami Midi Dress
This Printed Fit & Flare Cami Midi Dress [12] ($18) features such a fun print.
