Wear This Flattering Dress Trend If You Want to Look More French

Kaia Gerber may not be French, but she certainly knows how to dress like she is. Her classic yet modern aesthetic is right in step with that of a chic Parisian, and it was on full display last night in NYC. While attending the Broadway opening of Good Night, and Good Luck with her family, Gerber opted for a French girl-favorite dress trend that's incredibly flattering: an apron dress.
Apron dresses, featuring a high square neck with thin straps and oftentimes a low back, are usually in the form of a mini shift dress or a flared midi dress. Gerber opted for the latter—am incredibly elegant black midi dress, which she paired with black pumps.
Now that dress season is here, consider Gerber's outfit your PSA to start shopping for an elegant apron dress. Keep scrolling to pick your favorite new dress.
