White dresses are some of the most versatile dresses out there. They can be paired with denim jackets, pointy-toed pumps, boots, cardigans, sneakers, and just about anything in between. Ideal for any season, white dresses are popular in the warm months with flowing styles and light colors to keep you cool and looking gorgeous. Here are some of our favorites.

Purchasing a White Dress

When it comes to dresses and fashion, the most important thing to consider is your personal preference—whatever makes you feel the best is the one that is right for you! However, you can consider these few additional factors:

  • Size: Casual, looser dresses can usually go up or down a size without too many issues. However, for more fitted dresses, the size should be as close to perfect as you can get it to make sure it fits comfortably and looks as it should. Check sizing charts before buying.
  • Length: There are multiple lengths of dresses to choose from. Short ones are usually nice for warm weather, while maxi dresses are usually best for cold weather.
  • Straps: Some dresses will have long or short sleeves, and when it comes to dresses with straps, adjustable ones can customize how the dress rests.
  • Location: Choose a style that is right for where you plan to wear it (beach, party, date, office, wedding, etc.).
