Apart from perhaps flip-flops or a string bikini, no fashion item is more synonymous with summer than a white dress. As much as we'd all cumulatively appreciate if summer could arrive sooner rather than later, there's still an amount of time to wait for genuinely hot weather. Fortunately, there's another transitional weather ready dress choice that gives off the same energy as a white cotton or linen frock—just with a bit more weight to it. Plus, it's Gwyneth Paltrow approved.
On Gwyneth Paltrow: Falconeri dress
On Monday, the Goop founder was spotted leaving a book reading at Godmothers bookstore in Summerland, California, alongside her husband Brad Falchuk. For the event, she chose a casual, very her ensemble, including a white long-sleeve dress with a cable-knit motif from Falconeri and a pair of tall black boots. Accessory-wise, she kept the look extremely simple and was not even carrying a bag. She was only donning her signature pair of tortoiseshell glasses.
Even in sunny California, it's not hot-weather-dress season quite yet. Follow Paltrow's lead by easing into spring and summer in a white knit dress before cotton and linen fully take over.
