THE WHITE DRESS: Your ultimate blank canvas for styling
By Josephine Agbonkhese
White dresses are the rave of the moment, proving to be the perfect blank canvas for personalising and elevating your style. This versatile wardrobe staple can be styled in countless ways depending on the occasion, season, or vibe you’re going for.
Here are some ideas to make it your own:
Casual Day Look
Opt for either a white cotton or linen flowy midi or a white shirt-dress. Pair with sneakers, a denim jacket, and a crossbody bag. Add sunglasses and minimal gold jewelry for a relaxed yet chic feel.
Office Ready
Choose a tailored white sheath or wrap dress and layer with a tailored blazer. Pair with nude or black heels and minimal jewelry. Finish look with a structured tote.
Evening Elegance
Go for a white slip dress or a fitted maxi with subtle embellishments. Elevate with strappy heels, a metallic clutch, and bold statement jewelry. Wear a red lipstick for drama.
Bohemian Vibe
Pick a white lace or embroidered peasant dress. Layer with a fringed kimono, ankle boots, and a wide-brimmed hat. Add turquoise or beaded jewelry for that free-spirit touch and you’re festival-ready or good for a summer picnic.
