According To Their Rave Reviews—These T-Shirt Dresses Check All The Right Boxes

WHO IT'S FOR: If you live in your vintage tees, then this is the dress for you. The relaxed, lived-in cotton is cozy without being stifling, so you know it's summer-ready. With this super-soft option, you can stay stylish and comfortable—a combination perfect for the weekend.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Widely known (and beloved) for their basics, Everlane creates quality garments you'll feel comfortable in all day long while remaining transparent about their pricing and costs. Plus, it's all sustainable as the fabric is 100% organic cotton. 

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: When it comes to elevated basics, Gap never disappoints. The same goes for this t-shirt dress, which has a few little details that separate it from the rest on the list: the soft cotton knit, the oversized sleeves, and the chest pocket.

STYLE WITH: This one works well as a cover-up, too. Throw it over your bikini and add slides to go from beach to boardwalk.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The V-neckline, fitted sleeves, and flirty length make this black t-shirt dress feel a little more elevated than the rest. This is a style you could easily pair with heels for a dressier occasion—no one will suspect how cozy you really are.

USER REVIEW: "I would wear this dress every day if I could! The fabric is stretchy and soft. Highly recommend!"

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: One word: pockets. This organic cotton dress is as easy as they come with its side pockets, dropped shoulders, and loose silhouette. Add in the crew neck for a classic everyday outfit.

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: This t-shirt dress runs large, so size down for a less oversized look.

WHO IT'S FOR: This Walmart t-shirt dress is one of the most affordable options on the list, while its striped pattern and soft, lightweight fabric set it apart from the rest. Reviewers loved the comfy casualness of this dress, saying it was great for a day in the sun.

HELPFUL TIP: Reviewers also said that it ran large, so consider sizing down for a more flattering effect.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: With colors like apricot, taupe, and pink, this t-shirt dress was practically made for summer. Made of lightweight cotton jersey, the fabric feels thick enough to be substantial but airy enough to suit warm weather—just like a thick t-shirt. 

STYLE WITH: Accessorize with a long, layered necklace to balance out this simple frock.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Fret not at the lack of cotton fabric in this t-shirt dress—the sustainably sourced rayon blend does the job just as well. In fact, the jersey adds a drape and flow that comfortably hits at the knee—all for a soft, smooth look. 

ADDITIONAL THINGS TO KNOW: Basics don't have to be boring with this dress, which comes in 12 different colors (to add some variety, purchase multiple).

WHY IT MADE THE LIST: The wear-with-anything silhouette and soft jersey material give this t-shirt dress such an effortless appeal. It's relaxed enough to keep you cozy while you're working from the couch, but you can easily dress it up to run a quick errand or grab a bite to eat.

USER REVIEW: "I've been loving t-shirt type dresses recently, but sometimes they hug all the wrong curves. This one is perfect! I am not built like a stick and have some lumps and bumps to hide and this dress works great! It is the SOFTEST material ever, and it fits just right."

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: A list of wardrobe essentials is never complete without an option from Target. Few retailers can compete with their staples, and this dress is no different. From the scoop neck and relaxed silhouette to the midi length, it's simple and chic, so you can comfortably wear it all day.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES: To complete the lived-in, casual feel, this pullover dress added a heather finish on the cotton fabric, so it stays as breathable as possible.

USER REVIEW: "I love the Amazon label! Their clothing is extremely comfortable, very affordable, and looks great on me! I appreciate that their clothing is on trend, so I don’t stick out like a sore thumb. I get quite a few compliments from people about what I’m wearing. The fabric is very substantial and drapes my body well."

STYLE WITH: This classic dress lasts throughout the seasons; in summer, pair it with some buckle sandals, or in fall, toss on a light jean jacket.
