Do you have enough whites for all occasions? It’s time to check your wardrobe. Here are some summer essentials.
Dial T
A white Tee is a must. Plain, or with a touch of silver or gold for evening wear. Team it with a pair of icy blue jeans in a snug fit, or wrap around a flowy skirt with sandals to compose your summer look. Slip on a light, casual linen blazer for a semi-formal outing or sail-off on the weekend, pairing it with flattering shorts. Take your pick!
Dress up
A summer dress is an absolute must. A vivacious sun dress is uber stylish, comfortable and extremely versatile with lazy loops and shoelace straps or off-shoulder cuts. It works beautifully in beating the heat. Bubble bottoms or straight A-line cuts with a belt below the chest work in the super cool quotient.
A hat or a pair of neat sunglasses completes your look. You can even choose to flaunt your collarbones with dangling ear rings.
Shirt in
A white shirt is a staple in the year-round wardrobe and comes to your rescue for breezy summer wear. Choose your fix - cotton, linen, georgette, organza or chiffon. A touch of lace brings in amazing elegance, as does sleeve detailing or collar definitions.
A crisp cut works the best for every occasion – from casual to formal wear.
Go easy
Comfort is king. Make way for strappy sandals, ballet flats, easy sneakers, brogues and slip-ons in white to add that elegant accent to your look. Mules with kitten heels work superbly for dressing up your appearance. For that stylish touch, try high heels with delicate bows and straps for that Sunday brunch.
Accessorise right
Bring on the pearl strings, the snowy totes, crochet potlis, woven beach bags, silver hoops and shell bracelets to complete the summer vibe.
Totes and slouchy shoulder bags, a white scarf to sweep up your hair in a high ponytail, a keen belt or a stylish watch with a white strap look super cool as always.
