If you are already brimming with excitement for summer’s arrival, an all-white outfit is key. With Memorial Day a few days away, it is about time for the monochromatic look we love to make its appearance (if it hasn’t yet!).

When crafting your all-white look, it’s always good to start with the basics—and what is more foundational in a capsule wardrobe than a plain, but perfect white T-shirt or button-up? Outside the fall/winter shows in Paris, several street stylers turned to their trusty shirts for pairing with jeans or midi skirts. White dresses remain another warm-weather essential, whether you go for a bubble-hem, strappy style or classic shirtdress.

Beyond fit, texture is also key to making a tonal look more interesting—an embroidered tank pairs particularly well next to a silk skirt.

From the office commute to your upcoming backyard barbecue, the all-white outfit formula for women is one to get behind. Below, find 10 ways to wear white before, during, and after Labor Day as the summer season is just getting started.

The Transitional Trench

If you’re still battling unpredictable weather, don’t ditch your trench coat just yet. A chic white take, cinched at the waist, reads timeless with trousers and a ladylike purse.

The Timeless Duo

A classic poplin shirt and white jeans are an iconic duo you can always return to. Easy yet sophisticated, they bring a no-fuss attitude to daily dressing. Black extras ground the look.

The Summer Set

Don’t be intimidated by volume. In all white, a shell skirt contrasted by a barely-there strappy cami feels fashion-forward without doing too much. Finish the look with summer classics, like a raffia bag and strappy sandals.

The Textured Pairing

Add intrigue to a monochromatic outfit through texture. Heirloom’s embroidered tank top against Ralph Lauren’s silky skirt feels especially considered. Ground the look with classic flip-flops for a more casual outing, or slip into a pump for a special occasion.

The 9-to-5

The blasting office A/C is real. A cropped jacket and pleated trousers are a polished choice for the office, and work both indoors and in the summer heat. Add personality with statement sunglasses.

The Saturday Stroll

Nothing beats a sunny Saturday stroll through SoHo. A mini white dress feels right in tune with summer’s mood, paired with neutral-toned accessories from Miu Miu, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Reformation.

An Afternoon Picnic

Take advantage of the warm weather and head straight to the park with a panini and bottle of orange wine. This all-white set feels casual yet put together for lounging on a gingham blanket.

The Beach Day

When the city bustle gets to a little too much, a beach escape is the reset you need. Keep the foundations of your look white and minimalist, adding black accessories for contrast.

The Weekend Commuter

Summer Fridays are loading! Get ready to pack your weekend tote with all of your essentials. A boho top and pleated trousers let you arrive to your destination in style.

The Classic Take

A breezy poplin shirt dress works just as well at the beach as it does in the city. Pair it with a leather clutch and a pendant necklace—bonus points for a sweater cinched at the waist.
