Jessica Alba’s Short-Sleeve Dress Is a Summer Staple You Can Wear Every Day, and Similar Styles Start at $36

Summer is all about wearing breathable options like shorts and tank tops, but if you want more airflow without showing skin, Jessica Alba has an easy solution.

In an Instagram video, the actress appeared on What’s Poppin? Walking with Davis in New York, and she was wearing a brown shirt with a belt at the waist. The dress had a midi silhouette and a short sleeve design that is stylish and practical for warm weather.

Short-sleeved dresses offer more coverage than tankless or strapless dresses without feeling too constricting. In addition, other stars like Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling are fans of the trendy style.
