Outfit Details:

9Seed Dress, Cuyana Hat

No matter the season, white serves as an anchor color in my wardrobe. From fall and winter to spring and now summer, I rely on crisp white pieces to help me create the classic, polished looks that I love to wear. Even though I happily wear white year-round, summer is when this color plays an even more important role in my wardrobe, as I’m sure it does for many of you! I love the way the color pops against sun-kissed skin and reflects the light to make everything around me look and feel a little bit brighter.

From dresses to swimsuits, white pieces offer a perfect blank canvas for accessories. I often layer on colorful pieces, like the red earrings and pink shoes I wore with our Angela dress (as seen here) or a colorful pareo tied over a chic white one-piece. Other times, I stick to my favorite neutral accessories with plenty of texture for an elegant, monochromatic look, like the basket bag and nude wedges I wore with the Jordan jumpsuit (as seen here). To make styling white outfits even simpler, though, I’m always on the lookout for pieces that have special details or textures, making accessories completely optional. This eyelet dress, this ruffled swimsuit, and this pretty top are just a few of the beautifully detailed items I have my eye on!

I brought a handful of crisp summer whites to Mallorca with me, like this 9seed gauzy coverup, these white linen pants (elastic waist, I’ve never been more grateful!) and my favorite white tee.

On the other hand, some of the most beloved items in my summer wardrobe are simple white staples that I reach for year after year. Take the time to find your perfect pair of white shorts, white jeans, versatile shoes, and a white dress you love. I promise, you’ll be grateful that you did every time you open your closet! I already know our cream Regina dress, white Dana sweater, and white Sawyer jumpsuit are going to be a few of those go-to pieces for me for many summers to come.
