For sunny days ahead, a whimsical white dress is just the ticket to feeling comfortable and chic. Romantic prairie dresses from Dôen, Posse, and Altuzarra evoke elegance no matter which way they’re styled. A little eyelet detail never hurt anyone, after all! Take them to the city streets or even the festival grounds with a knee-high boot or a stylish sneaker. For a modern twist on workwear, crisp shirtdresses from The Frankie Shop and Victoria Beckham are all-in-one outfit formulas, requiring little more than a sharp pair of loafers and a timeless tote bag to polish them off. Meanwhile, LWDs from Khaite, La Ligne, and Jil Sander are double-duty delights, transforming from commute-to-cocktail seamlessly with the addition of a barely-there pump and day clutch.
When it comes to mastering summer-in-the-city style, nothing screams chic quite like the clean-lined dresses from Toteme, Proenza Schouler White Label, Another Tomorrow, and more. And while we continue savoring the summer sun while we still can, Staud’s crochet choice is a beach-to-bar LWD to cover up in. (Your little black bikini will look chic peaking out underneath.)
Below, 46 easy white dresses for women that are sure to become your favorite summer wardrobe staple.
