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.
At just $15, I'll take it in white and black, too.
I love the ribbed version with thicker straps, too.

Pricey, but perfect.
Beach cover-up or date-night dress? You decide.
