Summer Whites

The benefits of investing in a few key pristine pieces is that they work hard for their keep, making you feel like you’re wearing nothing at all in the dog days of summer, then elegant and kind of rebellious the rest of the year. Each one starring a central white piece, these four outfits are a road map for nailing the look.

Look 1

The quintessential little white dress speaks for itself—though a statement shoe and pop-of-color bag add a fun, but not too loud, exclamation point.

Look 2

While they¹re preppy and more grown-up, crisp, white cutoffs still embody the laid-back vibe of their denim counterparts. Keep the rest of the look equally mellow with a striped top and gold accessories.

Look 3

When it¹s too hot to team a classic cotton button-down with a pencil skirt, go for something loose, flippy, and lightweight. We love the pairing with sneakers, though a polished flat will make it just right for the office.

Look 4

Together, a boyish jumpsuit and super femme off-the-shoulder top make for the kind of head-to-toe white look that doesn¹t feel at all precious.
