I love a little black dress as much as the next woman—sexy, classic and perfect for throwing on for a last-minute event or date night. IMO, everyone should have a decent stock of 'em in their closet. But, come summertime, you might want to take a walk on the lighter side—you know, like Reese Witherspoon recently did when she stepped out in a little white number with a romantic twist.
Yep, Witherspoon wore a romantic little white dress, or RLWD, at an event at Cannes this month, and everyone has been talking about it. The gathered puff sleeves, the princess-worthy square neckline, the sleek-yet-slightly-flared silhouette that flattered her figure so well. Perfect on every front—except one: At $2,500, the actress and producer's Alexander McQueen wool silk mini dress isn't exactly budget friendly. Fortunately, you can achieve a similar look with styles starting at $60.
Yes, you read that right. I found not one, but four RLWDs that not only give Reese's a run for its money, but are also totally worth ditching your LBD for this summer—including the must-have Hill House Home Matilda dress ($178; $111) that's currently on sale.
