How to wear all white
All-white outfits are perfect for summer parties or drinks with the girls to keep you looking fresh. The key is to keep outfits simple and minimalistic, but with eye catching detail.
TIP 1: Keep it interesting, but simple.
Try using different tones of white or different textured material to keep it from being too monotonous. Having detail on pieces helps make the outfit interesting too. Look for skirts and dresses with detailing at the hemline. See below for examples. Note the detail in the sweater and the textured skirt to create interest.

TIP 2: Make it your own.
If you feel uncomfortable wearing a completely white outfit, or feel you want more of your personality to come through, try adding colour through accessories such as a statement necklace, clutch or shoes.
TIP 3: Be careful with colour, keep it neutral.
Adding a huge pop of bright colour can make the outfit look 'tacky' so be careful, and stick to neutral tones like beige, cream and oyster. Try adding softer tones such as oyster colours or soft pastels like lavender.
Turquoise and gold accessories also looks great with white. This creates a nice contrast and keeps the outfit from being too dull or looking out of place. Showing some skin also helps to break the outfit up.
TIP 5: Accessories.
If you're wearing a simple, stylish piece, match it with a great pair of detailed heels or a clutch to keep it chic and avoid drawing all the attention away from a beautiful outfit.
If the outfit is casual, or very simple pair it with chunky accessories like a big bangle or a statement necklace. However, if the outfit is chic, stylish, for work or a formal/ish event, keep accessories minimal and classy, like a nice gold bracelet, rings, stunning earrings or even some pearls.
TIP 6: Use your assets.
If you want to keep the outfit very minimal, add a little something simply by styling your hair, adding a coloured pout, or making your eyes pop. You can do a black/charcoal smokey eye, but keep it subtle and don't go over-board or it can clash with your outfit. A chic gold/bronzey eye will give an all-white outfit that extra oomph!
TIP 7: Metallic
White goes great with metallic shades. So glitz it up with sexy metallic heels, jewellery or clutch.
