A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.

This is more of a question than a comment. What do you think of the shirt-tail sweaters that are cut up over the hip? What do you wear with them besides a skinny pant of some sort? Are they office appropriate? Thanks for your reply.
