Right now, we’re all about choosing breathable clothing to combat scorching temperatures. If crochet styles show a little too much skin for your liking, Sarah Jessica Parker just showed us an elegant way to get more airflow.
While filming on the set of And Just Like That… the actress wore a blue long-sleeve midi dress, and it included one of Reese Witherspoon’s go-to styles for warm weather — eyelet stitching.
Eyelet details provide openings throughout the fabric, so they are a no-brainer for summer. And you can get so many stylish eyelet dresses at Amazon, Nordstrom, Lulus, and more starting at just $29.

Grace Karin Eyelet Dress
Stars like Jessica Alba have been wearing short-sleeve dresses lately. If you want to take a page out of her style book, consider this puff-sleeve option for a romantic look that’s always elegant. The waist is cinched to accentuate your shape, and the bottom flares out for a loose fit. “It is lightweight, flowy, and versatile,” one Amazon shopper wrote in a review.

Cindy Crawford recently wore a ruffle dress on vacation, and you can combine the two celeb-worn styles with this Lulus dress that also has a gorgeous eyelet pattern.
