Bonnie | Color Block Shirt Dress

Blocked, striped, and still simple

The Bonnie dress takes a plain sleeveless shift and gives it just enough to look considered. Olive panels sit either side of an off-white front, and a fine stripe runs around the collar, along the pocket openings and across a wide band at the hem. Two deep patch pockets sit at the front, right where your hands go. The shape is straight and easy from the shoulder down, so it skims past the waist instead of following it, and the hem lands just above the knee.

Why you'll love this dress?

• Detail without effort: The collar, the stripe and the block panels do all the decorating, so the dress carries a day out with nothing added.
• Straight and easy: The shift shape falls from the shoulder and skims past the middle, so nothing grips anywhere.
• Deep front pockets: They sit right where your hands fall, and they are large enough to actually put something in.
• Sleeveless for the heat: The armholes are cut open and wide, which makes a hot afternoon far easier than any sleeve.
• Smart or casual: The collar takes it into a relaxed office day, and flat sandals take it straight back out again.
