Mindy Kaling’s Birthday Outfit Included the Breathable and Elegant Top That’s So Smart for Summer Weather

Now that July is here, we’re officially in the thick of summer. The scorching summer sun has celebrities reaching for more breathable styles like crochet and eyelet dresses. And Mindy Kaling just reminded us of another seasonal staple that’s so practical and stylish for this time of year.

In an Instagram post celebrating her birthday, the actress and producer wore a breezy long-sleeve blouse made with elegant lace. The top, which was a seasonal white, had a pointed collar and buttons at the chest. 

Kaling isn’t the only star to wear lace — Chrissy Teigen and Gisele Bündchen are fans of the style. Not only does lace enhance airflow, but it also dresses up any outfit, whether you wear it in dress or shirt form.
