If there’s any clothing item (besides a birthday suit) that could make a girl go weak in the knees for her significant other, it’s a pair of gray sweatpants — if you know, you know. But what’s the equivalent for women? Well, leave it to TikTok to finally find it. According to several viral videos on the app, milkmaid dresses are the women’s equivalent to gray sweatpants for men.

Maybe you’ve got a special anniversary coming up or maybe you want to make a guy obsessed with you on a first date — a milkmaid dress is the perfect choice for both. What gives this style a sexier edge and more feminine appeal is the ruched bust, tight bodice, flowy skirt and sometimes floral fabric. Just like the man in this viral TikTok said to his wife, the dress hugs you in all of the places he’ll want to hug you. Keep scrolling to shop our top favorites!
