The ultimate vacation destination is somewhere hot and with a great selection of beaches. This means a shirt dress has never been more warranted.

A beautiful dress is simply a must for any evening out. Whether you are out for dinner or drinks, a decent shirt dress in your wardrobe allows complete versatility for every night's events. We suggest the Kaziah Shirt Dress for a fun and sophisticated take on classic evening attire. This ankle-length print dress is covered in warm amber hue prints, as well as being scattered with blue highlights throughout.

One of the biggest reasons people always reach for a shirt dress is how comfortable they are. Unlike other dresses that cling to you, a shirt dress can be more relaxed and flowing for everyday wear. During the hotter summer months, there is no better outfit than the shirt dress, especially given the current hyper-feminine trend seen on every runway. The Imani tie-waist silk Shirt Dress is going to be your new best friend for running daily errands and seeing friends. Reaching just below knee level, this dress is perfect for casual summer days. It features a distinct blend of African colors so you can own any street you walk along. You can add the tie waist and buttoned collar if you're needing to smarten things up, making this one of the most versatile dresses we sell at Sika'a. Throw on a pair of sandals or trainers for busy days about town and accessorize with a big boho bag for the ultimate casual summer look.
There's no better way to complement a shirt dress than with some stylish accessories. This truly helps to take your outfit to another level. Take a look at some of the ideas below when accessorizing your African shirt dress.
A big and bold summer hat is not only stylish but incredibly practical during summer. Keep the sun out of your eyes and play into the hyper-feminine trend by adding a wide-brimmed hat to your outfit. If you have a busy outfit, add a minimal block colour hat in a tan or white colour which compliments the summer weather.
A bold, statement necklace is the easiest way to dress up a shirt dress. It helps to bring an outfit from casual day attire through to an evening out with friends. Opt for chunky, statement necklaces that compliment the neckline and colouring of your shirt dress.
A hat is great for a summer's day but not so transferable for evening events. That's where headbands come in. Make sure to find a delicate or statement headband, depending on the desired look, to pair with your African shirt dress. We recommend a headband in a matching fabric to the dress. This works to tie together the whole outfit and gives a feel of sophistication and class.
No summer look is complete without a pair of sunglasses. Once again they are practical in summer and can be used to accessorize as well. Depending on how busy your outfit is, why not go for a pair of statement sunnies to really stand out from the crow. Try to find bold colors such as reds and yellows. A big round or square frame helps to create that classic summer holiday look.
It's clear the only addition to your wardrobe this summer needs to be a Sika'a shirt dress. Our vast selection of beautiful African print dresses means there truly is something for everyone.
