It's always fascinating when you get a little insight into other women's wardrobes. Like the style formulas French instagrammers swear by, or the Australian dress brand celebs are fighting over.

Now new research by Pinterest has revealed the number one dress style that US women love, especially in New York, and it's a classic.

Across the pond, they swear by shirt dresses. Seen loads on the streets of NYFW, the versatile dress has been increasingly saved on the site, and in fact, it's had a 102% increase in saved pins since the start of the year.

I can see why. Whether it's a simple white version, a linen number or a feminine silk one, the shirt dress is incredibly versatile, and can be dressed up with heels or down with boots or box-fresh trainers.

Here are a few of my faves below:

Shop now: JW ANDERSON Tiered striped cotton-poplin midi dress for £650 from Net-A-Porter

Shop now: Fitted shirt dress for &pound34.99 from H&M

Shop now: Printed shirt dress for £29.99 from MANGO

Shop now: CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC Leather button-through shirtdress for £1,518 from MatchesFashion.com

Shop now: SNAKESKIN PRINT SHIRT DRESS for £79.99 from Zara

For autumn, try a rust-coloured leather dress (see Kitri for an amazing vegan leather one) or dark denim for an update on the trend, best worn with snake print ankle boots.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
