There’s a reason the plain white tee is the ultimate wardrobe essential—it’s versatile, chic without trying too hard, and completely timeless. For summer, the little white dress proves to be all of those things and more. A fashion blank canvas, if you will.
Vogue’s Favorite White Dresses for Summer
With Memorial Day weekend right around the corner, warm weather-friendly styles like Matteau’s shirred mini or Posse’s strappy shift look just as chic with minimalist loafers for city dwelling as they do layered over an elegant black one-piece for sandy beach days. White dress outfits are also a go-to for summer soirées, whether it’s a backyard barbecue or an all-white party. Our pick? Bernadette’s halterneck maxi dress paired with woven mules from Le Monde Beryl and Juju Vera’s pendant necklace for the ultimate finishing flourish.
Everyone’s favorite fashion girl, Zoë Kravitz, has already put her stamp of approval on the staple, stepping out in a breezy prairie dress in New York City just last month. Styling-wise, she paired the dainty frock with her go-to roster of clean staples: a roomy trench coat, The Row’s raffia handbag, and a pair of simple black ballet flats.
