Gear Shift

With summer coming, it’s time to shift gears with the casual cool of a shift dress. Fairly straight in cut, with an undefined waist that can be cinched with a belt, the cut makes a versatile, easy-going style. Especially popular in the 1960s, you can also see that decade’s shift inspiration in the 1920s.
