Top 10 trends: # 9

# 9: The Menswear Shirtdress This was one of my favourite developments this season. I love a woman in a man’s dress shirt, and have ever since Sharon Stone wore her husband’s Gap button-down to the 1998 Oscars. For Spring 2010, designers took this idea to the limit, stretching the shirt into a floor length dress.

TO PULL IT OFF: While these dresses are not the most forgiving, anyone can wear a crisp white shirt with a black pencil skirt for secretary-sexy. It works equally well with jeans or dramatic A-line skirts.
