We all need a go-to dress that can be styled for any occasion, and the t-shirt dress is just that.

The t-shirt dress has been a go-to summer essential. It’s been seen as a street look on fashionista Rihanna and as a sleek look on Kim Kardashian, proving that the versatile dress can make waves in all forms. 

Its casual wear-ability allows it to go from daytime to nighttime with a simple accessory swap. But unlike other summer trends, the t-shirt dress has surpassed the summer heat and is also a must-have for your fall wardrobe.

T-shirt dresses are an effortless addition to any closet. It has gained popularity as street-style staple through brands like Dimepiece L.A. and River Island. The oversized tees and jerseys transform from sporty to chic when paired with strappy sandals and bold accessories.

But, if you want to keep it sporty, button-up baseball jerseys are also all the rage. The 10 Deep Black Sands Jersey, featured on Karmaloop, can be worn on its own or with black leather shorts for a sporty-meets-sexy look. This jersey can be paired with black boots, a bright sandal or a bold sneaker to keep with the sporty theme.
