This New $15 H&M Dress Hits on My Favorite French Trend
These days it seems like you can barely buy a baguette for less than $5, so when I come across a quintessentially French find that doesn't cost a fortune, I tend to take stock and spread the wealth.
Recently I came across an incredibly soft jersey maxi dress from H&M that is reminiscent of the style we've seen parading across Paris. The main difference is that this dress comes with an unbelievable price: $15. That's right, for the cost of three artisanal baguettes, you can pick up a wear-everywhere dress that will see you through the entire summer.
Whether your upcoming plans consist of standing in front of the air conditioner or stuffing your carry-on bag to the brim, I'm sure this simple-yet-sophisticated staple can be worn almost every single day of the summer. Ahead, get excited to shop the trend with some outfit inspiration, then browse 15 of the best jersey maxi dresses available now.
For a super simple maxi that will be on your doorstep before the weekend, look no further than Amazon.
This midi dress from The Gap features an elegant scooped neckline with adjustable crisscrossing straps.
I'm not usually into sleepwear that doubles as outerwear, but I'll make an exception for this dress.
A sporty racerback and asymmetric skirt set this style apart.
Racerback details make this simple design even more figure-flattering.
The Skims version of the dress comes in a dozen different colors and is opaque enough to wear outside. Did I mention it is unbelievably comfortable, too?
Made from cotton and spandex, this dress is more elevated and almost as comfortable as similar jersey designs.
