- Wearing all white can be as slimming as wearing all black. White works better on tanned and dark skin, so those with pale, ethereal complexions should pick softer whites like the hues on the Givenchy shoulder bag and Nicholas Kirkwood heels.
- The type of fabric is important - a crisp, tailored white shirt will look whiter and brighter than a T-shirt.
- White dresses can seem summery and casual. To look more business-like, opt for a sheath dress or structured top, such as this Alldressedup piece and layer with a cardigan or blazer like this ck Calvin Klein one.
- For a night out, pick a white dress that shows a bit more skin and has a grown-up style, such as a halter, V-neck or one-shoulder number.
- A white dress is a blank palette. Go all-out with statement jewellery and accessories in bright pinks, turquoise, green and yellow. Out on the town? Shine with metallic accessories.
