This blouse is so simple, but so pretty and feminine! If you only buy one piece of white to wear this summer, it could be this blouse, cinched at the shoulders with a thin ribbon, made of soft 100% cotton. Pair with cuffed linen shorts or with anything yellow…

I love tees, and this one by Greylin is my new fave. Just look at that gorgeous intricate neckline! I’d pair this with cuffed linen shorts and wedges, or with a maxi skirt and gladiator sandals. Line dry in the sun to keep that bright-white appeal…

J Brand Gigi Crops
Price: $158.00 at anthropologie.com
Cropped denim is white-hot this season, and this pair by J Brand is a fab example of how to wear the trend. They feature classic 5-pocket styling and a crop just above the ankle. I love how these look with black thong sandals!

These shorts are clearly nautical-inspired, with two rows of buttons, one on each side. They’re made of a durable machine-washable blend of linen, lyocell, and spandex, and are a natural white, sun-bleached, ready to be worn with anything pale blue or green.

Floreat White Trillums Skirt
Price: $98.00 at anthropologie.com
What a pretty skirt! It’s flattering, to say the least, with a full skirt and set-on waistband. It zips on the side, and is made of lightweight, breezy white cotton with a cotton lining. What a gorgeous way to wear white this summer! Wouldn’t this look pretty with a turquoise or yellow top?
With so many ways to wear white, it’s going to be hard to try anything else… but wearing ALL white might make you look like a bride. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, right? But try it in moderation, maybe by adding one piece to an outfit, like a stark white skirt with a bright turquoise top. Gorgeous! Which of these white-hot pieces do you like best, and how would you wear it? Do tell!
