When it’s hot outside, you probably don’t feel like squeezing into your tightest denim shorts or slipping into your best black tank top. While both are cute, you may want something a little breezier and lightweight — at least, I do. That’s why I love a T-shirt dress. T-shirt dresses are essentially just longer shirts, and you can wear them with sneakers during the day, heels at night or layer them under jackets and sweaters. In other words, they’re pretty versatile and easy to style.

If your wardrobe is missing the quintessential T-shirt dress, Nordstrom Rack is selling one for only $19.97 in six neutral colors. The Melrose and Market T-Shirt Dress comes in black, gray, navy stripe, beige, green and grayish-blue. The 100% cotton dress has a crew neck and hidden pockets on either side to stash a few small essentials. It really is the ultimate comfy, cool girl dress for spring, summer and even the fall, layered under a leather jacket.

“I love everything about this dress,” wrote one Nordstrom Rack reviewer. One of the things I love most about it is the weight of the fabric. Very good quality cotton that makes this dress great for at least three seasons… I ended up getting the dress in several colors.”

“Love it! Simple lines and comfortable, cool cotton; what more do you need on a hot day?” wrote another. “Great quality and true to size.”

Score this dress for yourself ahead of summer, your next vacation or if you’re just looking for an easy fit to throw on that isn’t your regular black leggings. Actually, if you’re in the market for good basics, Melrose and Market has a lot of options available on Nordstrom Rack — check it out for slip dresses, T-shirts, maxi dresses, jumpsuits and more.
