White is all about signifying purity & cleanliness. For a colour with no colour, it certainly brightens up our day like no other. The all-white phenomenon is not new; but it reinvents itself every now & then with the seasons’ hottest trends. If you’re a bonafide fashionista, you already have some all-white winners lying around. If you’re new here & want to step up your style game, there’s no better or fool-proof way than to start with an all-white ensemble.
You know what we love more than our morning coffee? A monochrome dress. It doesn’t require any effort to style and looks 10/10 on it’s own. We love the Jonathan Simkhai cutout white dress. It really works the formal with the informal well. The cutouts around the waist are great to show off that summer bod!
Let’s talk about what makes blazers work. Versatility yes, but also the structured look they add can breathe a new life into your existing pieces. The big and padded types bring a more baggy look to the whole outfit while belted ones give off a more feminine vibe. What changes can a blazer bring to your spring fashion? Well, for starters, you can add a neutral blazer to your existing workwear. It will completely elevate your whole look. If you’re planning on a date night or a night out with friends, add a blazer to your dress or pair it with a tank top and jeans for a smart-casual look. All your existing pieces will look completely different with the addition of a blazer.
A more conservative yet equally refreshing all-white dress we love is the poplin shirt dress by Alexander McQueen. Add a pair of sneakers and a crossbody & you’re good to go. The all-white magic will work it’s charm.
What makes white become even more charming? A little bling, here and there. Just look at these perfect ones we’ve picked out for you; the Pearl Octopussy brooch & Octavia Elizabeth Lovers Locket. The locket can be a staple around your neck, always adding that extra bit to any outfit & the brooch is a statement making piece which you can add to an all white ensemble.
It wouldn’t be an all-white look unless we speak about white shoes and bags. How we love the Chloé Woody platform espadrilles. They embody the whole summer-is-here vibe so easily. Pair them with the Alexander Mcqueen shirt dress and that’s your winner summer look right there! The Roger Vivier embellished sandals are also something of a spring/summer hero and deserve a special mention here. They are basically the right amount of bling & bang your feet need and your overall look deserve.
We had many options to choose from, but for our all-white edit the bags that made the cut were the Balenciaga Hourglass and Bottega Veneta Cassete bag. Two very different pieces that you can work into any all-white look. Carry the Bottega bag as a pouch or on your shoulder for a big day (it’s a big bag and fits a lot). For days with lighter activities, sling the Balenciaga around your shoulder and be a going 🌈
