While we’re big proponents of wearing white year-round, it’s practically a requirement during the hottest months of the year. Ahead, seven ways to do it creatively.
KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
Summer is all about ease—lean into the laid-back energy of right now with a swishy empire-waist sundress accented by strokes of gold at the ears, neckline, and wrists.

PLAY WITH NEUTRALS
While white shorts go with just about everything, they’re especially chic worn with other light neutrals. A camel bag adds a bit of contrast without straying too far from the prescribed color palette.

ADD A SPLASH OF COLOR
Style a pair of white linen pants with a playfully striped tee on top and tomato-red sandals below for a look that’s both fun and fresh-feeling.

REALLY COMMIT
Go all in with this jet-set-inspired look—a minimalist caftan and flowy wide-legs—plus a creamy canvas clutch tucked under your arm.

TRY A TREND
White maxiskirts are seemingly everywhere right now, and this DÔEN one, with its full silhouette and horizontal pin tucks, is the prettiest we’ve seen. Pair it with something simple and fitted on top or pull it on over your suit for a day at the beach.
WARM UP TO IT
If you’re not so into optic white, pick a slightly warmer shade—like ivory, ecru, or bone—and ground it with darker pieces. See how this cream skirt, paired with a black jacket and sandals, reads sophisticated rather than stark?
