SUMMER STYLE WHITE OUTFITS REIMAGINED
Wearing white on white during the summer months is so fresh and definitely has a vibe. It’s a look that I think is GORGEOUS, crisp, and clean. I feel like there’s a lot of women staying away from it. Why? I mostly hear….. “It makes me look too big.” Does wearing white on white really accentuate a person’s size? NOT with a few simple tips. Anyone can wear this classic look with confidence.
Firstly, it’s crucial to choose the right fabrics. Think about lightweight and breathable materials like linen or cotton. This will keep you cool and comfortable in the summer heat. These are fabrics that won’t cling to your body either. Linen oftentimes has the reputation of being unflattering and too stiff. But linens have come a long way! If you haven’t tried any lately, you should! My favorite is Viscose which is considered linen. It’s breathable, drapes well, and absorbent. I just bought this for an upcoming vacation…
I’m such a big fan of sets like the two above. They’re perfect for vacations, offering both versatility and minimal packing. It’s a smart choice for anyone looking to travel light without sacrificing great style! The second one might be a little heavy for some, but if you run on the cold side….. it’s perfect. It’s great for airports!
When layering white pieces, aim for varying textures to add depth and interest to your outfit. Mixing textures prevents the look from appearing too flat or monotonous. Think about pairing a flowy cotton blouse with a breezy pair of linen pants. Or something white on white with white denim…… similar to my look above with the embroidered top.
Another tip for pulling off white on white, is to play with proportions. If you’re concerned about appearing larger, balance fitted pieces with looser ones. For example, pair a fitted white top with wide-leg trousers, or a structured blazer with a flowy midi skirt. This juxtaposition creates a sense of proportion and elongates the body, making you look balanced and stylish.
I love this look below. I would wear the blazer with the belt, but certainly without would be fine too. The flat sandals give it such a fun summery laid-back feel, all while looking very chic.
Accessorizing is another way to elevate your white on white look. Add pops of color with statement jewelry, a vibrant scarf, or a bold handbag to break things up a bit. Metallics are beautiful with an all white ensemble, and will add loads of sophistication and glamour.
Finally, don’t forget about undergarments. When this isn’t right, it can look really tacky. They will make ALL the difference in how your outfit looks and feels. Opt for nude or white undergarments that blend seamlessly with your skin tone to avoid any visible lines or distractions. By having it all working well underneath, you will feel the most confident.
