How to Style a White Dress

To keep your look feeling fresh and intentional, pair your white dress with contrasting textures like a faux fur jacket for a luxe evening vibe or a denim jacket for a breezy weekend aesthetic. Elevate your outfit with delicate accessories and footwear that match the occasion:

  • Layer with Texture: Add a cropped jacket or comfy cardigan to create a chic silhouette

  • Add a Pop of Color: Pair white mini dresses with colorful or printed tights to add a fun touch to your outfit.

  • Accessorize with Intention: Opt for minimal gold or pearl jewelry for a sleek vibe.

  • Define Your Waist: Add a belt or choose a wrap-style dress to create definition and a flattering fit.

Shoes to Wear with a White Dress

The right shoes complete your look by balancing the dress's silhouette with the perfect touch of personality.

  • Platform Boots: Pair boots with a mini dress for a bold party-ready vibe.

  • Strappy Heels: Elevate your outfit with heels for formal events like sisterhood rounds or graduation.

  • Cute Sneakers: Keep it casual and cute for open house rounds or coffee runs.

  • Ballet Flats: Choose flats for a feminine, polished look that works perfectly for the office or a date night.

  • Knee-High Boots: A go-to mini dress option.

Colors to Pair with a White Dress

Think of your white dress as the ultimate base layer for your current color obsession. Whether you’re figuring out what color heels to wear with a white dress for a pop of personality or deciding what color tights to pair with a white dress for those cooler days, these styling choices are what turn a classic piece into a total fashion moment.

  • Shoes: Metallic gold or silver adds an instant glow, while neutral tan or nude shoes keep the vibe effortlessly breezy.

  • Tights: Swap to sheer black for a sophisticated quiet luxury look , or go with espresso tones for a softer vibe.

  • Accessories: Lean into soft sage or blush pink for a dreamy romantic vibe, or grab a bold red bag to channel that main character energy.

  • Jewelry: You can't go wrong with classic gold or silver jewelry, but explore pearl and dainty options to keep things fresh.
