If you’re looking for a summer dress but aren’t looking to get your arms out, Jessica Biel just proved why there’s no need to ditch statement sleeves the minute the sun comes out.
Summer fashion is so often seen as being all about showing some skin. After all, let’s be practical for a minute, high temperatures = sweat. But to be honest, we also just love finally being able to reach for our shorts, T-shirts and cute dresses. But for many the hot weather creates something of a dilemma: strict dress codes at work, modest fashion or simply not wanting to show your arms can make it quite difficult to find beautiful summer fashion.
Jessica Biel has a solution that couldn’t be more chic, opting for a classic dress style that French women have long sworn by.
Spotted on the set of The Better Sister in New York City on June 18 in a sea of film crew, equipment and extras, Jessica stood out in the super simple but flattering long-sleeved bodycon dress with black and nude stripes. The look’s key highlight is the gold metal collar, which adds an undeniably high-end feel.

The accessories are as timelessly elegant as the dress itself, with pearl earrings and a fuss-free wristwatch giving the look a clean, romantic vibe which exudes a particularly chic French-inspired feel.
Striped midi dresses with long sleeves are an absolute essential that the Parisian style set have sworn by for decades, and anyone looking for a certain “je ne sais quoi” piece for their closet should reach for a dress à la Jessica Biel pronto.
