Jennifer Lawrence’s Recent Postpartum Outfit Proves Nap Dresses With Sneakers Is the Ultimate Summer Uniform

It’s hard to tell exactly what white sneakers JLaw is rocking on her afternoon stroll, but if I were a betting woman, I’d guess they’re some iteration of the Air Force Ones. The iconic basketball shoe looks even better off the court and pairs with almost everything. They’re crisp, they’re versatile, and they’re only $100—talk about pumped up kicks.

Surely by now you’ve seen some celebrity rocking a pair of Cariuma shoes—they’re everywhere, and for good reason. The Brazilian brand is driven by sustainability, designing footwear meant to last without destroying the planet. These simple sneaks feature ethically sourced leather and natural rubber that’s been tapped to preserve tree health. Best part is, they’re like walking on clouds, cushioning your feet with every step.

Looking for a show with more support? Opt for the high-top sneaker opposed to the low-cut, like these pretty shoes from Madewell. They’re a taller riff off the brand’s signature court sneakers, swapping that low profile for a higher ankle and backtab. The fit is just as comfortable, but we’re in love with the simple beige suede features that pop out against the white. Also available in two summery colorblocks: pale pink and beige, and bright pink and orange.

Few things in the world of fashion are as timeless as a classic pair of Keds. For $60, the canvas shoes tick off all of the boxes for a super, summery shoe. They’re affordable, they’re durable, they’re easy to clean, and they go with just about everything.

If your top priority is comfort, get a pair of Flux. They’re dubbed the “barefoot athleisure” shoe, thanks to their unique sole technology that makes you feel like you’re not wearing anything at all (in the best way possible.) The best part? They’re washable. So if you dirty them up on a hike or they get stinky from sweat, pop them in the washing machine and watch them get clean in a spin cycle.

The internet’s favorite nap dress got a mini makeover, just in time for summer. It’s got all the makings of the original gown—puffy sleeves, delicate details, a look that rivals something out of Bridgerton—only its hem hits mid-thigh. Its sheer cotton is perfect for staying cool on sweaty, summer days when pants are a no-go.

For the days that are really hot, opt for this tank top smock from Everlane. It’s sleeveless, so armpits can catch a breeze, and it’s made from 100 percent cotton for all-over breathability. Look closely and you’ll see eyelet cutouts, giving just the amount of detail to an overall minimalist style.

Looking for A-list style on a budget? Love, Bonito, the AAPI-founded fashion brand, has got you covered. This adorable smock features puffy sleeves and a square neckline. Combined with its flow-y, ruffle-y tiers, and the delicate tie-back, and you’ll never want to take it off. Also available in yellow, orchid, and blue.

The first word I can think of to describe this dress is “flirty.” Is it the plunging v-neck? Or is it the feminine ruffles tiered down to the hem? Perhaps it’s the lacey material that you just know will keep you cool when the temps start to climb. Pair it with some sneakers and you’re good to go.

Lake’s little diddy has all the makings of your new favorite summer dress, thanks to its smocked neckline, flowy cotton material, and scalloped hems lined with a colorful piping. It’s a little bit longer, styled to hit right above the knee, so if you’re planning on going for a breezy bike ride, walk, or anywhere else where you need the extra coverage, it’s a solid option. Piping available in white, pink, blue, and green.
