Kristen Bell is the latest star to reach for a knit dress: Get one starting at

Not quite ready to say goodbye to dresses for the year? Take a cue from Kristen Bell and slip into a sweater dress.

The star of The good place wore a form-fitting black knit dress by LA-based label Staud on Instagram, showing exactly why they’re an excellent addition to a transitional wardrobe. The thicker material makes them more suitable for cooler temperatures than the tennis dresses you’ve been wearing all summer, and the buttons that span the actress’s dress allow you to show more skin if you get too hot.

She’s not the first celebrity we’ve seen wearing button-down dresses in recent weeks. Reese Witherspoon opted for a shorter sleeveless knit dress with a summery vibe, while Kelly Clarkson wore a long-sleeved dress on her talk show. Oprah even wore a maxi knit dress in late February, showing that the style can be worn as we transition from winter to spring.

We were inspired by Bell’s post and picked out a few dresses on Amazon that matched her elegant look.

This breezy striped dress has more of a vacation vibe than the one Bell wore, so it’s perfect for the remaining days of summer. Otherwise, the neckline, bodycon fit, and button-through placket are very similar to hers. “The fabric is comfortable, stretchy, and the design is flattering,” wrote one delighted customer. “I love how I can style it with heels and accessories for a dressier look, or dress it down with sneakers and a denim jacket for a casual outing.”

The buttons on this knit dress only reach the belly button, so it pairs great with a leather belt to match your boots when you’re out picking apples. It also comes with a matching belt that you can tie in a knot. Shoppers say the fit of the dress depends on how curvy your figure is, but many agree that it’s flattering.

“This dress is extremely comfortable and made of high quality material,” wrote one shopper, who said its stretchiness also makes it suitable as a maternity dress.
