Ever since Audrey Hepburn as the effortlessly chic Holly Golightly donned the iconic Givency black coctail dress in Breakfast at Tiffany's, the little black dress became every girl' wardrobe must have. But while the little black dress is an undeniable classic, it can be a bit stiff (though much depends on accessories), and not quite as versatile as everyone believes. For example, it doesn't really work well on a warm summer day. This is when a little white dress comes in handy. However, take caution, with a color that is so innocent, the shape is key. Avoid at all cost the night-gown look, which is easily associated with the white dress.
Take note from Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller, and Nicole Ritchie: go for a form-fitting, short off the shoulder or strapless dress and add structure by cinching the waist with a black belt. Tone down the girliness with a black leather jacket.
Put together right, this dress is much more versatile than a black cocktail dress. It can go from summer stroll (pair the dress with comfy nude or gold sandals) to classy dinner party (paired with heels and a clutch). However, keeping it spotlessly white is quite the challenge! Watch where you sit!
Where to find this style: Victoria's Secret.
