Lorraine Kelly looked super-chic on her ITV chat show Lorraine on Monday, 17 July.

The presenter is always inspiring us with her fashion choices, and this morning she reminded us of how brilliant the humble shirt dress is for every season.

Lorraine opted for a stylish dress from Karen Millen for today's show, and shared her look with fans on Instagram.

What to read next

The star wore the brand's Collared Georgette Pleated Belted Midi Dress, an elegant shirt dress with a structured bodice, pleated skirt, cuffed sleeves and belted waist. This midi is super flattering and can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

Lorraine added a playful touch to her look with a pair of animal print heels from Reiss. However, you could also wear this shirt dress with espadrilles for summer parties or knee high boots come winter.

Shirt dresses are a true wardrobe staple that will see you through the seasons. An instant outfit, they are an elegant and effortless addition to your wardrobe. Dress them up for work, like Lorraine, and pair with court heels or loafers. For a weekend style, team with box-fresh white trainers and for a summer party swap in a pair of strappy sandals.
