5 WAYS TO LIVEN UP A WHITE DRESS
Nothing screams summer quite like white outfits, well maybe swim suits but white follows quickly behind it.
Much like the little black dress a little white dress is just as important, especially during summer. These white dresses can be feminine and flowing or chic with straight cuts. They can be dressed up for summer cocktails or worn casually for days exploring a beach town. With the right accessories the little white dress can be transformed into whatever you need it to be.
There are tons of ways you can style a white dress but today I’ll share with you five simple ways that and you can easily try the next time you wear your white dress.
Add a denim jacket. To instantly break up the head to toe white add a denim jacket. I would still want to keep the look light and airy so I would select a light wash cropped denim jacket and roll up the sleeves. You don’t want the jacket to weight down the overall look so make sure to select a wash and a cut that goes with the vibe you’re trying to achieve.
Top it off with a hat. Choose a summer hat that flatters your face and adds to the overall look. Select a light color like white or khaki to keep with the summery feel. I would wear a natural straw hat because it’s light in color and in weight.
Wear dainty gold accessories. The feel I was trying to achieve was light and airy so instead of stacking on heavy bangles I wore dainty pearl and gold jewelry. This style of jewelry looks great against flowy white dresses.
Add color and embellishments through your footwear. So far this outfit has been very light so to add an unexpected touch I wore natural straw look sandals. You could pair embellished or bright sandals to add a real pop to the outfit and it won’t add any weight to the look because the embellishments are at your feet.
Select a beautiful natural straw handbag. yes, it may be predictable but in my opinion it truly completed this look.
A few other important details not to forget:
Wear a slip. White dresses and skirts can be see through so if your dress doesn’t already have a slip sewn into it make sure to wear one!
Always wear nude underwear with white clothing! Avoid any color that will show through the fabric, especially black. Ensure that your under garments complement your skin tone.
I hope these tips have you thinking of different ways you can wear a white dress this summer.
Let me know how you style your summer white dress!
