How to Wear Summer Whites

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oxy chapter.

Have you spent hours in the sun? Do you plan on showing off your tan anytime soon? Well look no further than wearing white to display your golden hue that you’ve worked so hard on! Summer whites are always hot, no matter the temperature outside.

A Cropped Top


Check out this Free People Bustier! It comes in two colors, but the crisp white color can be paired with your favorite high-waisted shorts, skirt, or cropped pants.

The Top


Look no further than Forever21 for your basic quick pick up. This oversized cream shirt looks effortless and will keep you comfy all summer long. The button and pocket detailing make it a lot less boring than a regular t-shirt.

The Shorts


Any white pair of shorts will do! I like this pair from Zara especially because of the golden studs that surround the pocket area. You could pair white shorts with a low v-back top and sandals, an easy look to put together.

The Skirt

A slim knee-length embroidered white skirt with a casual tank top can pull you through a hot summer day and night.

The Dress


I love backless dresses and the fact that this dress is also lace makes it even better! It’s cute and unexpected at the same time.

Accessorize with these:



Leather is the perfect complement to white!



Mint green is pretty shimmery and sheer, reminding me of Spring!
