It's dizzying how quickly style trends can appear and vanish, but Reese Witherspoon just reminded us of a breezy staple that looks great every summer.

The Oscar winner wore a pink striped button-up shirt in an Instagram video, styled with dark blue chino shorts and comfy white tennis shoes for a preppy look. Her top echoed the striped buttoned blouses we've seen other stars wearing this season.

Brooke Shields exemplified New England chic when she wore a blue one while boating, and Meryl Streep also opted for a blue button-down with thicker stripes, but took it to the next level of sophistication under a white blazer. They’ve also been favorites of Oprah, who wore a simpler white-on-white striped option, and Martha Stewart, who opted for solid pastel pink.

Witherspoon didn't name the designer of her shirt but there are countless similar styles available online. We rounded up a few of the best striped button-ups that nail the effortless summer vibes the Big Little Lies star was giving, including a new release from Free People and an Old Navy favorite that has more than 7,800 five-star ratings.

The width and pattern of the stripes on this button-up are virtually identical to those on Witherspoon's shirt. Hers also has a prominent chest pocket with horizontal stripes, and this option has two of them. It looks good untucked but the hemline is long enough for the shirt to be tied or tucked without fear of it coming undone. More than 100 have been sold in the past month, as shoppers are clearly making it a summer staple.
