A little white dress is an ideal option for spring and summer! We'll advise how to wear it stylishly and what accessories to pair with it! Discover ways to wear a white dress for everyday wear or how to style a white shirt dress, which can easily be worn to work too.
A white dress for everyday wear by a renowned designer is a sure investment for the spring-summer 2021 season and beyond. Year after year, this wardrobe item triumphantly returns to the list of trends in a somewhat refreshed version. Such a "little white" is useful in many situations and can be utilised in countless ways - except for obvious occasions such as someone else's wedding or funeral. It's a particularly grateful topic for styling. What to wear it with in everyday, casual, and other versions? Get inspired by our ideas.
White dress for everyday wear
What does a daily white dress look like? Primarily, it has quite a loose, comfortable cut and a modest neckline most of the time. It is usually made of cotton, viscose, thin wool or a mix of different fibers, including synthetic ones. It can have a sporty character, for example, an elongated T-shirt, sweatshirt or shirt style, as in See by Chloe, but without a belt and buttons.

Feel free to pair a daily white dress with trendy, neon or multicolored sneakers or go completely white and opt for white sports shoes. In a laid-back version, you can also wear it with other shoes on a low or flat heel, e.g., with moccasins, sneakers or ballet flats.
For such a base, add a 'shopper' type bag or a roomy backpack. If you are a minimalist, a belt bag or fashionable fanny pack will also work great. Additionally, to give the whole a decisive character, put on jewelry - the currently trendiest chain and a "fisherman" cap (bucket hat), a baseball cap or a beanie.
White shirt dress
This model is probably the most universal proposal that you can play around in many ways, including sporty and casual. A white shirt dress is also great for work - it's worth having it in your business wardrobe, especially for summer when the temperatures are high, and you can't get rid of any piece of clothing. It will undoubtedly be more practical, airy, and more comfortable than a classic suit at that time.
Buttoned and tied at the waist with a belt, it will be her elegant yet modern alternative. In combination with a subtle but designer gold jewelry, a light, holiday tan and heels or, in the Italian style, with moccasins and a massive belt, you will achieve the perfect office look without breaking the professional dress code.

You can also wear white after hours, in a decidedly less formal version. A white boho dress and a white maxi dress will be perfect e.g., for a garden party or a romantic date. Be sure to try them on and choose the right accessories. What kind? We suggest.
White boho dress
This style of dress is another surefire bet. It has been coming back into favor every spring and summer for several years. This season, models with puffs and XXL puffs, with a square neckline and tied in a bow straps, with frills and printed with floral patterns, as well as frills, will be in fashion. Designers are also inspired by Victorian underwear - just look at the white boho dress with frills by MSGM or the Tory Burch spaghetti strap dress, which is reminiscent of Zosia's nightgown from "Pan Tadeusz". Dresses with a strongly emphasized, raised waist and buttons in the empire style at the neckline will also be fashionable.

How to feel like a romantic, airy nymph of past summers in such a dress? The more fancy the dress of this type, the simpler the accessories should be. For the Tory Burch proposal, you can put on wedges, and take a wicker basket in your hand.
Also, think about the hairstyle here. Currently very fashionable hair accessories, including hairpins, ribbons and bands with bows, will perfectly complement the whole - make a loose updo, braid or let your hair down and weave a bow or ribbon into it. For a white boho dress with large frills, simple flat shoes with an almond or elongated toe or flat sandals will be perfect. Then take a minimalist clutch bag or hang a small box bag over your shoulder.
White maxi dress
Don't like to expose too much of your body? In that case, a white maxi dress is the perfect model for you - not only for an evening at the beach but also in the city. The length to the ankles or slightly above has been very fashionable for several seasons. What's more - on the wave of more casual wedding outfits (without serpentine glitter in the hair), an appropriate dress of this type can even be worn for your own wedding.
More and more brides, instead of spending weeks walking on tours of wedding dress salons, prefer to shop quickly and choose a dress that they will put on again after the wedding, in a completely different character. However, this is not the only occasion to wear a white maxi dress.

The way to wear a white maxi dress mainly depends on its specific character. "Big white" will be a fantastic background for a bit avant-garde, extravagant accessories. It's a great opportunity to showcase them. Often this type of dress has an informal character, so you can also go crazy with accessories, e.g., choose a necklace or XXL earrings for such a dress.
You can throw an oversized blazer on top (and fasten it with a belt or leave it loose), or, in a casual version, opt for a light denim jacket. In terms of footwear, you have almost unlimited possibilities. Such a dress will go well with both heels and sneakers, cowboy boots, espadrilles, mules, sandals on a column and a block, both in toned and bright colors.
White Balmain dress
Another ready way to go white, this time in a sexy version, is a white Balmain dress. This dress has a tight fit, is made of tweed and has large, gold buttons, characteristic of the 80s. It also has two zippered pockets. Such a dress would not be ashamed of e.g., Gabrysia from Killer (in this role unforgettable Kasia Figura). Supermodels from the 90s, including Cindy Crawford, also wore it.

White and gold make an elegant, sophisticated combination. Pair the white Balmain dress with ankle boots on a stiletto or column and a mini handbag on a chain - in such a set you will feel great in the club. If you prefer to calm it down a bit, in the daily version combine it with moccasins and designer glasses inspired by 80s or 90s vintage design.
These are just some ideas for a white dress for everyday and holiday wear. As you can see, it's worth having it in your wardrobe because it gives us a lot of possibilities - especially if you create your wardrobe in a capsule way, consciously. It will be an excellent base for many interesting and inspiring styles, especially if you have a dozen or so pairs of shoes in your collection, as well as a handful of belts, necklaces, scarves and handbags. Then, each day, the outfit with a white dress can be unrecognizable.
