Our love for denim lives on for spring, and as the hunt continues for new ways to wear our beloved blues, we stumbled upon this undeniably chic shirt dress from Barbour.

A true power player in any wardobe, having a hardworking denim frock to hand can totally transform your look, with very little styling. Perfect.

Part of the Seafarer collection, this shirt dress will work harder than most thank's to it's versatility. Plus, the Chambray fabric is light and ideal for layering.

Wear as is for the weekend with some equally chic tan flats (get some inspo and check out our flat shoe edit, here).

Or, for the office, why not smarten up your look and wear over a crisp white shirt, letting the collar sit neatly over the neckline, and pair with some black pointed flats and a matching oversized tote bag (black and denim is our all-time favourite colour combination).

This style naturally lends itself to casualwear, worn over a breton top with plimsolls, but we think with some clever styling, your new dress can work for a night out too. Try swapping your nautical rope belt for a black leather version, add some fine gold hoops, a bold red lip and some sky high platform heels and you're good to go.
