It’s OK, you don’t have to wait until Memorial Day
Nothing says classy, sophisticated and summer all in one breath like a crisp white outfit. And while this seasonal color is most certainly a classic, there areways to wear white that will set you apart. Did someone say monochrome? We've partnered with Lauren Ralph Lauren to show you the top three ways to wear it right.
RELAXED SEPARATES
Comfort is key, especially in the warmer months, when the heat and humidity can be stifling. An airy white button-down is your wear-everywhere essential. Be sure to roll up the sleeves and keep the first few buttons undone for a breezy look. Then, tuck the shirt into shorts and team with strappy sandals to complete the look. (Just be sure to stash a Tide To-Go stick in your purse.)
MINIMALIST TEXTURE
The simplest way to achieve a monochromatic look is to slip on a white dress. But since head-to-toe cotton on a single item of clothing can be a bit characterless, the best approach is to opt for allover texture. Pair this lacy frock with a small crossbody bag, your best beach waves and a pair of metallic gladiator sandals to add a certain flair to this angelic look.
SOPHISTICATED VOLUME
Contrary to popular belief, going for volume by way of wide-leg pants is actually extremely flattering. The high waist adds length and slims through the hips. But balance is key, so style these babies with a fitted top in a contrasting color to define your waist. Add a blazer and you're ready for the office. Slip on white canvas sneakers and you're set for the weekend.
