While we all have at least one black dress for the summer, some of us only, have a white dress as well. I must admit not having one myself… in fact, I haven’t felt the need for many years . Until now of course! Otherwise I wouldn’t be writing about it…
So, here are white dresses, divided into categories (I am an organised person… bordering worrying…)
First of all, the ones I LOVE:
- Babaton Geordie Dress
- Sisley Summer dress – blanc
Now the others…
Simple:
- Wilfred Free Strokous Dress white
- Weekday Cara dress white
- NAF NAF LOLY – Summer dress – offwhite
- M Missoni TUTA – Dress – bianco ottico
- Madewell cotton lakeshore midi dress white
- Mads Nørgaard SAXALLA – Summer dress – white
- J.Crew PETITE LINEN HALTER MAXI DRESS white
- J.Crew LADDER-STITCH DRESS IN BI-STRETCH COTTON white
- Banana Republic Linen Trapeze Dress white
- A.P.C. Sally dress white
I would wear the simple white dress with either, flats: lace-up sandals, ” man’s like” sandals or unusual ones. I would avoid heels with the long dress.Ffor the others: a bright pair, a simple one or the exact opposite, a very “loud” one! Anyway, black is boring…
- H&M lace-up sandals burgundy
- SERGIO ROSSI METALLIC LEATHER STRAPPY SANDALS £90.00
- L’ AUTRE CHOSE Mid-heel burgundy Sandals
Lace:
- Esprit Collection Summer dress – offwhite
- Free People LUNA – Summer dress – ivory
- French Connection HAVANA LACE STRAPPY DRESS white
- Hobbs Constantine Dress white
- Jigsaw Nottingham Lace Shift Dress white
- Cream ELENOR – Summer dress – pale cream
Gorgeous with the right shoe, potentially a disaster with the wrong one. Lace is already “busy”, feminine, “wedding like”, there is no need to add! Extremely simple, plain, chic, and not bright, will do. I do like black in this case. No jewellery or very delicate pieces, simple hair, preferably up if long. At least this is what I think.
- GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI DESIGN Sandals black patent
- SIGNATURE Mid-heel glitter sandals
Sexy:
- French Connection MIAMI DANNI BODYCON DRESS white
- Minimum%0AKAROLA – Summer dress – broken white
As above, don’t overdo it with the shoes…perhaps something quite sporty for the day and very simple heels for night-time?
A touch of colour:
- Boden FRUITY FUN DRESS white
- Hobbs Magnolia Shift Dress white
The first one, strong personalities only, the second one needs a very trendy heel…

- L’ AUTRE CHOSE Mid-heel pink suede sandals

Cut-outs & co.
- Hobbs Magnolia Cutwork Dress white
- 8 Knee-length dress white
Shoes: same as lace
Ladylike
- Hobbs Brunswick Dress white

Accessories and fit are everything…
White and black (couldn’t resist it!)
As it is…
Long ones:
- Adrianna Papell Occasion wear – ivory
- French Connection DAYTON LACE MAXI DRESS white
- Mascara Jersey dress – ivory
Barefoot? Beach-party?
or the same lace-up sandals I am obsessed with…
No jewellery.
Last, very casual
With anything!!
