Although summer weddings might be in full swing, you don't need to reserve white for the bride this season. It is time to swap your little black dress in favour of this season’s must have, LWD (little white dress).
Popular across the catwalks for S/S’17, this romantic trend was seen floating down the catwalk everywhere from Tibi to Rodarte, Chanel and Alberta Ferretti, where elegant and floaty silhouettes were the order of the day.
While American’s may have a rule of no white after Labour Day, in the UK we can luckily embrace it all year through. Celebrities have long been fans of this virtuous colour with everyone from Selena Gomez to Angelina Jolie being fans of a white frock.
Emulate the style of the Duchess of Cambridge and try a white gown for evening. We love the gothic undertones, in this Phannatiq waisted, white, high low hem dress that is perfect for making an entrance to summer events.
Wanting something more ‘day wear’, then embrace white broderie anglaise as the perfect summer fabric. The classic nature of this lace style fabric means you can keep a white broderie anglaise day dress from season to season.
Perfect party wear? This punctured white lace dress with nude lining is incredibly elegant and great for dancing the night away in. Team with rose gold jewellery to keep lace modern.
The white, cut out detail, asymmetric Next dress has been a real instagram hit this season. From celebrities to influencers, this is the dress everyone wants right now! Steal Rosie Fortescue’s style in this classic LWD and team with a simple summer sandal. From beach to bar, this is the dress you want to make sure to pack to show off that tan.
It isn’t all floaty romanticism though. Want to give an androgynous twist to the trend? These great, sporty style, high waisted trousers from high street favourite Mango are perfect for embracing the all white look.
In a slightly creamier hue, the relaxed fit leg are perfect for teaming with a summer pump or classic wedge for laid back style. Keep it simple and team with a plain white tee and layer under a denim jacket.
Simple, pretty summer dresses embody this style perfectly so don't forget to keep lines clean and crisp. Try a white maxi dress in a lace fabric for boho vibes, it is all about enjoying the last days of summer.
