Summer Whites

Jun 25, 2021

Summer whites—as essential to the season as a great cocktail and surf tunes. The trend is easy enough to pull together, but sometimes we could use a little extra inspiration to take the look further. Do you want to be casual-cool meets bohemian? Or perhaps you'd like a more feminine and flirty vibe? Here, a few outfit formulas, inspired by fashion's greatest muses...

Jean Shrimpton

Nothing says summer like a great pair of white jeans. Make like Jean Shrimpton and pair your denim with an easy button-down top—in white, of course—and finish with a natural straw hat and slide-on sandals.

Debbie Skinny Jeans
Dixie Sandal

Kate Moss

Prefer your jeans on the more relaxed side? Try our wide-leg Blake jeans—and cuff 'em, like Kate Moss here—for an added dose of ease. Complete the look with a slightly oversized button-down and a pair of easy flats.

SHOP THE LOOK, clockwise from top left:

Keiko Button-Down Shirt
Cala Small Tote by Hereu
Blake Notch-Waist Jeans
Sylie Sandal

Sarah Jessica Parker

Or… why bother with jeans at all? Countless style icons, from Rihanna to Bella Hadid to Sarah Jessica Parker's alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw, have worked the borrowed-from-the-boys look to chic effect. Size up with the shirt and add a belt to cinch the waist. Beach tip: Swap a cover-up for this and layer over peekaboo swim—just add heels for the day-to-night switch.

SHOP THE LOOK, clockwise from top left:

Keiko Button-Down Shirt
Anamaria Belt
Circle Mirror by Machete
Maisie Sandal

Audrey Hepburn

You will never go wrong with a classic white dress, especially when it's styled à la Audrey Hepburn. Recreate this timeless look with our forever-chic Positano dress, and finish with sky-high wedges and a casual updo.

Grande Heirloom Claw by Machete

Bianca Jagger

No one pulls off a white jacket quite like Bianca Jagger. Whether sitting front row at a fashion show or exchanging vows with Mick Jagger—yes, she wore an ivory blazer over a white dress to her wedding—the former model cuts a cool, cool figure. Above, inspo for summer-ready suiting—in linen, naturally.

SHOP THE LOOK, clockwise from top left:

Cutaway Linen Dickey Jacket
Slate Dickey
Arion Linen Muscle Tee
Azalea Hat by Freya

Jane Birkin

Want to add some dramatic intrigue to your all-white look? Take a page from Jane Birkin and play with texture or pattern—in a chic crochet or eyelet dress. And while you're channeling the chanteuse, tie a scarf around your wrist or bag. How-to tips for that here.

SHOP THE LOOK, clockwise from top left:

Satori Eyelet Dress
Priya Double-Strand Necklace by Jenny Bird
Sol Bandana by From Mila
Galoma Heel Sandal

Diana Ross

And, of course, with Wimbledon in full swing, we couldn't close out this story without a nod to tennis whites and our Summer Shop. Diana Ross shows us how it's done…
