Summer is here and it’s finally time for my collection of white dresses to enjoy their time in the sun. A mainstay in my summer wardrobe, I often reach for a fresh white dress throughout the warmer months as an easy way to dress for the heat. Whilst white is neutral shade and one of the easiest to style, I often hesitate when outfit building, keen to strike the balance of summery and fresh, and elegant and put-together.
To keep my morning routine swift and efficient, I’ve done the research to find the five shoe colours that look chicest with a white dress. Read on to discover exactly what I found.
