There’s something about wearing an all-white outfit that makes getting through a scorching hot day feel a little bit more manageable. Whether you’re sweating it out around the city, lounging by the beach or heading to the office, a crisp, monochrome ensemble is your best option: white doesn’t absorb as much heat as darker colors do, and with less heat comes less sweat, meaning you’ll always look put together with minimal effort.
This season, there are plenty of fun ways to approach a bleached-out look. It can go cute and sporty, sweet and bridal, or drop-dead chic—keep things interesting by playing around with texture, proportion and accessories. For a polished professional look, why not try a breezy poplin dress from Khaite paired with Alaia fishnet flats and a classic carryall? For brunch with friends, a strapless Proenza Schouler top with kick flair jeans and kitten heels. And perhaps the sleekest beach look possible is white-on-white-on-white—an Dolce & Gabbana bikini, a cowboy-inspired straw hat, and rubber flip flops from The Row. The only complimentary hue you need is a summer glow.
