Nothing quite says summer like a white dress to take us through the hot season.
You’ve of course heard of the little black dress, but it is time to get acquainted with its underrated sister, the little white dress. It’s another staple of any good wardrobe.
While a simple piece, a white dress for the summer should be considered as essential as a pair of boots in the winter.
White dresses can be worn with sandals or sneakers for hot days out at the shops or for cute coffee dates at your favourite cafe. They can be thrown over some swimmers as a chic coverup between the beach and home.
Alternatively, they can be dressed up with a pair of strappy heels and accessories to take you to the bar for a long night of dancing.
Long story short, a white dress for summer should be at the top of your warm-weather wardrobe wish list and we have rounded up our favourites below for you to choose from.
