We LOVE Emily Thorne’s glamorous white dresses on Revenge, but who says you have to be a wealthy heiress in the Hamptons to enjoy a snowy frock in summertime? Whether you’re lucky enough to be strolling along any sugar-sand beaches yourself, or you’re just channeling those sunny locales, a fresh, white dress is definitely the way to go. From office to poolside, this style will never let you down (at least until you go back to school in the fall). The basic white dress comes in so many different cuts, styles, and price ranges, you’ll always be able to find somewhere to wear it!
The Beach Cover-Up
Whether you’re hitting a fabulous beach, the local pool, or just your own backyard, most collegiettes will find themselves looking for the perfect spot to catch some rays this summer. After all, nothing looks better with a white dress than a golden tan. When you’re looking for the perfect article of clothing to slip on over your bikini, reach for a light, airy white dress. Look for eyelet cotton or a cute crochet to keep you cool. Also, make sure you pick a wash-and-wear fabric so you don’t have to go hit the dry-cleaners whenever you get hit by that ocean spray!
The Brunch Dress
Summer is great for a brunch date with your best girlfriends, and nothing gives you a fun, fresh look like a nice white dress. Since brunch is usually a little fancier than a quick Starbucks run, don’t be afraid to dress it up! Look for flared, flirty skirts with lace or cut-out backs to dress up your summer look.
The Internship Outfit
You love all the professional experience you’re getting at your internship, but you can’t help feeling a little wistful for the beach days you’re missing out on. But, who says you can’t have your cake and wear a gorgeous white dress, too? Just because you’re working in an office all day doesn’t mean you have to miss out on this summer look! Keep a structured silhouette to stay work-appropriate while taking advantage of this beachy trend.
The Casual Go-to
A lazy Sunday afternoon does NOT have to mean lazy dressing! Ditch the ancient T-shirt and denim cut-offs, and try out a cute, casual white dress, instead. Once you find the perfect everyday white dress, you’ll never want to leave home without it. Your new dress’s simplicity will help you feel bright and summery( instead of groggy and grungy) the moment you slip it on.
