Wearing White for Summer Is Nothing New—But These 15 Outfits Are Fresh
Florals for spring, whites for summer—groundbreaking, we know. But let's face it, there's a reason we keep coming back to these staples season after season. It's because wearing all-white outfits for summer is a style move that's as classic as ever. Even in the most oppressing of heat waves, all-white outfits promise to keep us cool. So since those dead-of-summer days are right around the corner, there's no better time to start thinking about fresh new ways to style the monochrome look.
Disclaimer: You won't find tried-and-true outfits in the below slides, but you will find 15 brand-new ways to wear white that you probably haven't thought of before. If you plan on wearing a monochrome 'fit this summer, think about experimenting with volume, texture, and varying shade of off-white. Go on to see the all-white outfits that have us extremely ready for summer.
Instead of head-to-toe optic white, pair your whitest whites with other natural tones like cream and beige for a nice neutral palette.
Three words: breezy white dress. This summer, look for creative updates on the style staple, like puff sleeves or a lace-up detail.
Just like with any tonal look, playing with fun textures like smocking really makes your outfit pop.
Rethink your all-white outfits in terms of volume and proportion to create a brand-new kind of silhouette.
Teaming a crisp poplin shirt with chunky-soled sneakers creates a winning combo.
Our one rule of thumb when it comes to wearing white pants of any kind is to err on the more relaxed side.
Invest in a stylish white top to upgrade your tired blouses.
Go for all white and add in one major pop of color.
A matching set always looks cool and this beige version is doing the trick.
Mix your true whites with off-whites and creams.
Silver metallic shoes make an all-white outfit really shine.
Professional tailored pieces are given new summery life via a tailored suit.
One word: Eyelet. Double down on this delicate texture to make sure you'll never be bored of the color.
It's so simple, but a good quality (and breezy) white button-front shirt dress is an office and heat wave friendly piece everyone should have on lock.
Fuse elegant pieces like a satin skirt with a classic pair of white sneakers.
Now you're ready to wear your post Memorial Day whites all summer long.
