Going bright and bold with colours and prints is perfect for dressing during those spring and summer months of warm to hot weather. But while going fun with colours almost a prerequisite, there is always a hot trendy colour that remains an indispensable summer wardrobe staple: white. While it may not a very radical choice for summer, this colour still manages to lend an easy breezy, cool and bright feeling to any outfit you choose to don. So instead of reaching for an all-black ensemble, lean toward the other end of the colour spectrum and go fresh in an all-white getup. Avoid looking like a runaway bride or lost health professional on the loose with these few tricks on how to take on white this summer!

1. Stick to basics

Whether its white shirts, blazers, pants, skirts or shoes, these are all classic wardrobe basics that can be easily mixed and matched for easy-peasy stylish combos that you can just throw on. For those who are looking to dress to impress in the office, choose to pair a white dress, a black structured bag, white blazer and pumps in either white or black (try to avoid bright colours). Neutralise your white-hot outfit and yet stay interesting with a monochromatic look by pairing contrasting dark hues.

2. Accent your outfit

A good way to sink your feet into head-to-toe white is to add some punchy, bright colours to break up the intensity of the all-white ensemble while still keeping things fun. Have a perfect mix of retro and modern by adding some red heels and even a bold red lip to your white getup. White goes with just about anything and everything, so feel free to get creative with your fashion choices. Switch out a bright colour with a bold pattern or print and it would still look awesome.

3. Mix textures and materials
Add some intrigue to your outfit and break up the white hot intensity of the look by pairing fabrics of different textures and materials. Mix soft textures with more luxe looking items for maximum style and interesting silhouettes. This is also a good way to add some edge to an otherwise more typically feminine or preppy look. Follow Kendall Jenner’s lead and pair a loose-fitted, casual t shirt with sleek, skinny pants for simple, chic and casual style.

Hopefully these tips have helped you with some fashion inspiration! It isn’t about when to wear white, but how you wear it. Considering the flexibility of this colour, there are no limitations to this trend and is definitely one that can make every woman of any age look incredibly elegant.
