House dresses are the new MVP of stay at home style. Comfy enough to take a nap in but dressed up enough to look pulled together on Zoom (without rocking the WFH style mullet of dress top + sweatpants), they’re the ultimate example of having your cake and eating it too. When making the criteria for this list, I realized that the term “house dress” is really being redefined for our generation and should reflect you, your lifestyle, and your personal style. If that’s a pretty, floaty floral, we’ve rounded up a few… if it’s an oversized tee masquerading as a midi, we’re got that too. The only real goals I had for my selections were that they were comfortable enough to take a nap in, easy to care for, affordable (though we threw in a few splurges in case you’re feeling fancy), and in a perfect world, they would all have pockets. Unfortunately, that last one was hit or miss, but I did my best, K?

Whether craving the comfort of your favorite tee or looking for something a little more buttoned-up, shirt-dresses are the MVP of stay home style—simple, sleek, and no-frills.

To Dye For

Tie-dye became a national pastime at the beginning of quarantine, so we figured why not put a spin on the trend? Tie-dye, meet house dress…
