Cool White Summer Dresses

What could be more summery than a cool white summer dress. The colour white works amazingly well to show off a golden summer tan whilst  on holiday and when you get back. White also reflects the sun helping you keep cool, calm and collected on even the hottest of days. This year white summer dresses are huge trend and  they can be adapted for all sorts of situations from casual daytime to smarter work outfits and stunning party outfits. Wear your white dress on its own for  a simple minimalist look or combine with brightly coloured accessories for a boho festival chic style. Just be carefully which underwear you wear with your white summer dresses, bright or dark colours may show underneath, for invisible undies with a white dress always choose either white or flesh coloured.

The White Maxi Dress

A crisp white maxi dress is the perfect addition to your summer holiday wardrobe. This white maxi dress by Dorothy Perkins is incredibly easy and comfortable to wear, you can even throw it on over your bikini.  Add  chunky beads and strappy sandals or an elegant pair of flip flops for an outfit that is perfect for strolls along the beach or a night out.

The Pleated White Dress

This Prunella pleated white dress by Coast is  a really sophisticated version of the little white dress. It would work well for parties and summer occasions and would look good  with a structured or tailored jacket.  

The White Lace Dress

This lace double layer dress by Oli the perfect way to work the summers romantic trend. It has a feeling of innocence about it but is also really sexy and great for parties. You could also wear with pumps or over jeans as a tunic for a cute daytime look.

The White Shift Dress

White shift dresses are perfect for special occasions in the summer. We love this white corsage shift dress by Planet which would look stunning when teamed with a brightly coloured wrap or shrug. How about also adding contrasting colour shoes and a clutch. .The classic style is reminiscent of Jackie O and the detachable corsage gives it a sense of occasion

The White Party Dress

Who says that white dresses need to be be plain? This stunning bead and mesh halter neck dress by Goddiva is from plain with its beautiful embellishment around the neckline and flattering empire line shape.

The White Body Con Dress

For those that are really daring, this studded bodycon dress by Little Mistress turns any assumptions that white has to look pure and innocent on their head. The figure hugging shape and stud details make it a great alternative to the traditional rock chic dark colour scheme.

White summer dresses are bright and incredibly eye catching but need to kept spotlessly clean for maximum effect. Avoid sitting anywear that might mark your dress and avoid  brightly coloured food or drink when wearing a  white dress. If the unthinkable happens when wearing your white dress or it starts to lose its clean white glow, you can find specialist products to wash it and make it look as good as new again.

X-Factor Steal Their Style

Wednesday saw the National Television Awards which brought the posh frocks out on a cold January Night in London.

The Two personalisties that really stood out were the two female judges of the X-Factor!

Yes Cheryl and Danni, not content with batttling it out in the fashion stakes on a Saturday and Sunday Nights, resumed their fashion duel on the TV red carpet event of the year.

Both stars looked equally stunning, and dare I say it, I would even go as far to say that Danni perhaps pipped it on the night (controversial Aye?).

Take a look and judge for yourself?

After recently announcing her pregnancy, Dannii wowed us with a striped strapless fifties style prom dress that suited her perfectly, and the red court shoes just finished it off perfectly. It’ll be a little while before she can get into that again!

Steal Danni’s Style With > > >

• Ben de Lisi black stripe prom dress -£120

• Nine West Red Babealish High Heel shoes £75-£80
• Richard Diamante Daisy Drop Earring – £12

Cheryl on the otherhand went all Hollywood glam on us, perhaps in preperation for her debut on the US version of X-Factor? She graced a floor-length grey maxi dress with a daring, deep V neckline. Lacking her extensions, she wore tousled hair, black heels and a micro clutch completed the look.
