There are very few pieces that return every summer with quite the same certainty as a white dress. Fresh, feminine and endlessly flattering, it has a feel-good factor that goes way beyond the other pieces we reach for week after week and it’s the one that always makes you feel special, the second you put it on. Team it with mid-summer, sun-kissed skin and the combination can’t really be beaten.

What makes it so special? Its simplicity. There's no need for bold prints or complicated styling when intricate embroidery, delicate lace trims and beautifully cut cottons say everything. Slim straps, midi and maxi lengths, worn with barely-there sandals, backless details, softly puffed sleeves or an embroidered collar… each detail somehow feels so effortless yet just so feminine.

The white dress feels romantic, relaxed and is always ready for any occasion - smart or casual, long lunches and summer parties or holidays and evenings that never seem to end.

Styling it well couldn't be simpler. Add oversized earrings, metallic sandals and woven leather accessories.
