Throw It On

A floor-length shirt dress cut loose through the shoulder and body with the collar and placket of a proper shirt. It goes on over a swimsuit or over jeans and reads finished either way.

• Half-button placket — opens as far down as you want it and closes back up again for lunch on the way home.
• Roll-up long sleeves — keep the sun off the forearm all afternoon or push back to the elbow when the heat turns.
• Front hem slit — opens the skirt as you move so a floor-length hem never fights your stride.
• Crinkled airy weave — holds itself off the skin instead of sticking the way a flat weave does in warm air.
