Gwyneth Paltrow Was the Definition of Effortless Elegance in a Comfy Shirt Dress, and Similar Styles Start at $29

There’s only one outfit that makes getting ready as easy as a no-fuss matching set, and it’s a shirt dress. 

Gwyneth Paltrow just reminded us that it’s time to break out the seasonal style in a new Instagram video: While showing the “ceremony of preparing a drink” with a heated ice press, the actress and Goop founder wore a striped shirt dress in a midi silhouette. She had the sleeves rolled and the dress tied at the waist.

Shirt dresses are easily a Hollywood favorite during warm weather — Reese Witherspoon wore one in a recent Instagram Reel, while Jennifer Lopez wore a denim version last summer. With a row of front buttons, shirt dresses are the perfect combination of casual and stylish.

And you can get in on the trend for as little as $29 with these similar styles from Amazon, Nordstrom, and Banana Republic below.
