I struggle to find summer work clothes that are both polished yet practical for beating the heat, but Julia Roberts just reminded me of a simple style solution.
We recently spotted the 58-year-old actress wearing a plaid, button-down shirt dress on a hot New York City day. Her dress — which she paired with white sneakers — looked breezy and comfy, but still sleek enough to wear to the office, out to dinner, and just about anywhere in between. Feeling inspired, I sorted through Amazon’s massive fashion department to find similar shirt dresses and picked out popular styles under $50.
PaladMom Plaid Long-Sleeve Button-Down Shirt Dress
This shirt dress looks so similar to the one we spotted on Roberts — and you can snag it for just $31 today. It has a similar fitted, ruched design that’s “flattering without being tight,” according to one reviewer who also raved, “It’s versatile, too — you can dress it up for work or keep it casual for weekends.”
In addition to its subtly-cinched waist, which has an adjustable tie, the dress is also outfitted with a button-down design and long, loose sleeves. Zhuzh it up with loafers or ballet flats for a day at the office, or keep it casual with sneakers for a lunch out with friends.
Utcoco Puff-Sleeve Plaid Button-Down Shirt Dress
If you’re looking for an even breezier style for summer, try this cotton shirt dress with a tiered skirt and three-quarter-length puff-sleeves. The dress’ preppy and polished look is primed for all sorts of summer occasions — from casual backyard barbecues to dinners out on vacation. It’s “so easy and cool to throw on and go,” in one reviewer’s words.

Yeokou Pleated Gingham Shirt Dress
Roberts’ shirt dress hit right at the knee, but we found a work-ready shirt dress that’s ideal for anyone who prefers a little more length. This cotton maxi dress is a super poised pick; it has ultra-wide short sleeves and a cinched waistline that give it an exaggerated (yet sleek!) A-line design. It’s also covered in a simple gingham pattern that’s available in eight different colors to spice up your closet, including khaki, black, and blue.
