DAY DRESSES

Tadashi Shoji's day dress collection imparts casual ease, by way of translucent layering, relaxed tailoring, and cascading ruffles. Classic silhouettes are given a fresh update. Floral embroideries create fashionable sheaths fit for a garden party. A whimsical gown, draped in printed crepe, is an excellent option for your next brunch date. Two-tone color combinations are striking as daytime party dresses.

Tadashi Shoji's casual dresses are rich with his dress-making signatures, including A-line lace dresses, illusion necklines, and skirts with sheer ruffled hems. Always figure-defining and always wear-ready, a Tadashi Shoji day dress is an elegant choice for your next luncheon with the ladies.  Ruffle lace sleeves, high-low hemlines, and appliqued embroideries are details not to miss. Superior fit is central to each design. For this reason, the stretch jersey lining is a masterpiece itself. It's expertly darted and seamed, which creates the foundation of Tadashi Shoji's celebrated 'custom-fit feeling'.

The Tadashi Shoji day dress collection elevates day to a new category of elegance, while still delivering laid-back ease.

DAY DRESS STYLES

Day dresses are available in several styles and fabrics to suit all daytime functions. For example, floral print day party dresses are ideal for afternoon teas, garden parties, or outdoor weddings in the summer or spring. Day dresses for women are suitable for work events and holiday parties as well, especially when paired with sophisticated flats or professional heels.

A long-sleeve coat dress is perfect for cooler temperatures, keeping you feeling and looking great. A coat dress’ lapel, double-breasted buttons, and exterior pockets give a masculine, structured look, but the hemline at the knee and V-neck infuses these elegant day dresses with femininity as well. A variation on a black tuxedo coat, a coat dress is formal and unique. Wear it to both indoor and outdoor events that extend into night.

A shoulder cut out dress is a nontraditional look that calls attention to the upper part of the body. It gives a peek at the shoulder for a look of mystery and intrigue. This variation on a double strap look is great for a day wedding, morning meeting or formal brunch. Wear it to fun events with friends and family and certain work events.

Due to their slightly more laidback nature, options abound for casual day dresses. Whether textured or stretchy, knit fabric is very comfortable for all-day wear. Knit dresses are more work-friendly, while a trapeze dress will be the star of the party! A trapeze dress’ stand-up collar and breezy A-shape makes it one of the more casual options when the hemline falls above the knee. But with materials like lace and tulle, it is still absolutely exquisite.

DAY DRESSES FAQs

Still have some questions about daytime dresses? Check out some answers to the most frequently asked questions below.

● What are day dresses?

Generally speaking, day dresses are dresses that are universally appropriate to be worn during the day. They are less formal than a cocktail dress or evening gown. They may be ankle length, above the knee, or fall somewhere in the between. The shorter the hemline, the more casual the dress. One of the great things about day dresses is their ability to be dressed up or down with ease.

● How do I style a dress for daytime wear?

To make a dress more casual for daytime wear, toss on a jeans jacket, bomber jacket, leather jacket, or even a sweater or cardigan over it. Low heels look wonderful with day dresses, but you may opt for shoes that are easy to walk in, such as flats, ankle boots, or sandals. Or pair with sneakers for a modern and edgy streetwear look. Save the diamonds and gemstone accessories for evening wear.

● Are day dresses appropriate for formal luncheons?

Certainly! Luncheons often call for shorter day dress hemlines, while dinners call for floor length hemlines. Check to see if your luncheon invitation has dress code instructions but if it doesn’t, stick to business formal attire for luncheons. For social occasions, there is generally more flexibility to show off your expressive and creative side.
