Summertime calls for denim, but that doesn’t mean suffering in thick, scratchy pants. Reese Witherspoon proves that denim can totally be comfortable — as long as you wear it in dress form. We found her summery look for under $40!
Watching her son graduate from college, Witherspoon turned up to the ceremony in a denim-blue dress that was so polished, it looked like she came straight from vacationing in Nantucket. This Amazon twin mirrors the sleek silhouette, elegant details and just-right shade of blue that made Witherspoon’s look classy. Comfy and sophisticated, it’s a dress you’ll throw on for brunches, baby showers and in-office Tuesdays.

Like Witherspoon’s, the Elftown Summer Knit Maxi Dress features a crew neckline, sleeveless design and curve-skimming fit that flatters without squeezing. The fabric is the secret weapon here. It’s super soft and stretchy, lending structure that doesn’t feel stiff.
One Amazon shopper wrote, “The fit is so flattering — it made my waist look slim and the sleeves perfectly cover that little underarm pooch we all try to hide. I even received a compliment that it looked like I should be strolling the streets of Italy in an elegant Italian knit dress!”
They’re right, this maxi dress appears much more expensive than it is, and the elegant gold buttons certainly don’t hurt. This long dress has the drape of something fancier, plus the relaxed loungewear feel and versatility works from spring through fall. It’s every bit ‘I have a house in the Hamptons, but I summer in Maine’ style.
Add gold earrings and a little lip color, and you’ve got Witherspoon’s East Coast prep-school energy, or wear it with sneakers for a casual cool-girl look. Either way, you’re guaranteed to look like a New England rich mom.
Graduations, garden parties, dinners on a porch somewhere. This knit maxi dress is ready for it all. ‘Wardrobe staple’ is an understatement!
