Kelly Clarkson Has Been Breaking Out the Fall Staple Dress That Reese Witherspoon Is a Fan Of, Too

You don’t have to give up dresses just yet. Case in point? Kelly Clarkson just showed us exactly how to bring the comfy staple into fall in such a stylish way.

In an Instagram Reel from a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the host was spotted wearing a green knit maxi dress with eye-catching accessories, including leopard print heels and a matching belt.

This isn’t the first time Clarkson was spotted in a knit dress — the singer wore a long-sleeve version back in August, and Reese Witherspoon is a fan of the style, too. Knit is an ideal material for the weather right now because its sweater-like texture is warm. Plus, the maxi silhouette keeps you covered.

Stock up on the fall-favorite style with these midi and maxi knit dresses from Amazon, Nordstrom, Lulu’s, and more — they start at just $23.
