The white stuff
When it comes to restocking the wardrobe after the winter months, white is likely to make a regular appearance. Here is your guide to styling the palest shade this season...
Head-to-toe white looks great on Wimbledon’s Centre Court – players and spectators alike – but there’s no reason this crisp hue should be confined to tennis tournaments, garden parties and holidays. That’s especially true this summer, because the shops are full of gorgeous pale pieces that will cure you of your aversion to white, and have you embracing it as your new daywear favourite.
Here are three chic ways to wear white now:
WHITE HERE, WHITE NOW
White skinny jeans, in case you weren’t aware, have had their day. It’s all about breezy, wide-leg trousers or kick-flare jeans now, paired with a loose prairie top and block-heeled mules. – Evans ivory hem tie top, £28. – Madeleine white trousers, £69.96. – Wallis ivory crochet flute sleeve top, £20.
– Jigsaw Hoxton cropped flare jeans, £62.
WHITE AND SHADE
Lace and fussy florals are best left for special occasions. Keep it simple with a crisp shirt dress or slouchy T-shirt dress.
What shoes to wear with white? You can’t go wrong with metallics or black.
– Sosandar white lace shirt dress, £95.
– Paisie midi T-shirt dress with back vent, £55.
– Oliver Bonas surface stripe midi dress, £79.50.
WHITE HEAT
White miniskirts are just a bit TOO tennis player-esque, but a midi skirt? Now that’s a winning summer look.
Tuck a slim fit tee into a high-waisted skirt for a fresh, youthful feel, or go boho with a loose linen top and strappy sandals.
– Keep Growing placement T-shirt, £25; Between the Lines wrap skirt, £75, both from Oliver Bonas.
– New Look white tie waist midi skirt, £19.99. – Hush Eden tassel top, £25. – Madeleine white skirt, £89.
