As sunny summer days approach white dresses are going to be a cool breezy staple. From evening gowns to casual wear, white dresses are popping up everywhere. While a dress in this colour can be super versatile, it can also be daunting to have a blank canvas and not know how to work it with style.

Here are a few style tips to rock a white dress this summer.

1. Fabrics: The quality of the fabric is a crucial component because it has to fit well and feel right. Picking fabrics are even more important because you have to make sure it is lined and not see-through.

2. Avoid clingy fabrics: Tight clothing like a body-con dress in white can be hard to pull off. It can highlight areas of your body, like a bulge or bump, you want to hide. Since it's summer time, you'll want to avoid clingy fabric anyway. Opt for comfortable, flowy and breathable outfits.

3. Undergarments: Choosing the right undergarments when wearing white is important. It is especially critical with white clothing. Try skin-toned items instead of all white lingerie.

4. Set the tone: Before you pick a white outfit, think about what you are wearing it for. Date night? Elegant occasion? Casual outing? Once you answer that question you can work your way up and pick the style that's right for the event.

5. Show off your personality: With a white dress, you have a blank canvas. There is so much you can do with it. Best of all, you can let you shine in the dress. If you are a girly girl, opt for pearl earrings. If you have a bit of an ege, try bold makeup. The world is your oyster with this look.

6. Gold: Gold accessories with a white outfit is a match made in heaven, especially during summer time. You could opt for this combo for day events. It will look striking and shiny. You could also opt for silver or platinum accessories. It will add a bit of oomph to our style even if the dress is plain.

7. Simple touch: While there are various things you can do with white, there is beauty in keeping it simple. Keep your accessories to a minimum and keep the focus on the dress.

8. Add layers: A silk scarf can make your outfit look more dressy, or even a blush jacket will do. If you want more of an edgy look, go with a classic denim jacket.
