Wardrobe staples: 5 ways to style an organic white dress

Do you have an organic white dress sitting in your wardrobe that you’re not quite sure how to style yet? Well, take it out now because we’re here to share some tips on how to style this classic and versatile closet staple.

Whether it’s a flowy sundress or a chic formal dress, the best thing about any white dress is its simplicity and endless styling potential.

Read on below if you’re ready to revamp your styling game and discover all the fun ways to feel good and look good in your little organic white dress.

1. You’ll never go wrong with a pop a colour

When you're wearing a simple, white dress, any colourful, vibrant clothing item instantly becomes your best friend. Adding a splash of colour instantly makes your outfit pop and turn heads.

You could break free from the minimalist colour scheme by carrying a brightly coloured bag or wearing a bold belt to accentuate your figure.

But these aren't the only ways to incorporate a pop of colour into your outfit. Try a stronger makeup look, like jewel-toned eyeliner, rosy blush, or a bold, bright lipstick.

Or better yet, paint your nails in the brightest shades you can find!

2. Layer it up with a jacket or an overshirt

Layering a white dress can be tricky, but it’s all about choosing the right pieces. When done right, layering can add both style and functionality to your ensemble.

For a softer, more feminine touch, throw on a light, billowy cardigan. This is particularly perfect if you’re going to be wearing a white dress in the evening

If you're going for a casual look, it’s hard to go wrong with a denim jacket. It effortlessly tones down a formal white dress for a more laid-back ensemble.

3. Don’t be afraid of texture

Another surefire way to bring your organic white dress ensemble to the next level is by incorporating texture. Mixing textures instantly adds depth and character to your outfit.

You could start with a leather bag or belt to introduce a natural, tactile element that makes your look feel more luxe and sophisticated.

You can also play with patterns like lace, embroidery, or quilted details to add visual interest and enhance the simplicity of a white dress through contrasting textures and patterns.

 4. Play around with accessories

The versatility of a white dress makes it the perfect canvas for bold, vibrant accessories that can elevate an otherwise minimalist ensemble.

When it comes to statement jewellery, the rule is: the bolder and more colourful, the better. Go for large necklaces and sparkly earrings for an eye-catching look.

Depending on the weather and occasion, a hat or even a pair of sunnies can transform a simple white dress. If you want to dress down in a formal dress, just put on either a baseball cap or a sunhat.

And the best thing about wearing a hat? Not having to worry about your hair!

5. To complete the outfit, pick the right footwear

Sometimes, the shoes you wear with your white dress can make or break your outfit.

If you’re going for a casual and relaxed look, pair your dress with flats, sandals, or even your favourite sneakers for an effortlessly chic vibe.

If you’re attending a formal event, a crisp white dress pairs perfectly with heels in either nude tones for a classic touch or bold colours for that elegant look.
