Although, bright colors and prints are big this season, equally fashionable is a white-on-white ensemble.  According to widbox.com’s article “White Dress Summer Trend 2010,” ” “Fashion designers can’t get enough of claiming that white is the new black especially for the spring/summer season.”  Fortunately this trend works on all age groups, body types and skin tones. Wearing white is a classic way to update your wardrobe.  One of the best qualities of white clothes is their ability to reflect sunlight and keep us perspiration-free on hot summer days. Plus, there are many different ways to wear this trend.

Try a sexy tank dress, or a chic midi- or a maxi-dress made of lightweight materials like chiffon, sateen, tulle, jersey cotton, or lace. Combining the white trend and dress trend – which is also huge this season – will suit the summer weather perfectly, allowing your body to stay cool and look hot. Another way to stay on trend this season is with a white button down shirt or shirt dress with some modern feminine twists, like bows, ruffles, asymmetry or pleats.  Couple your white button down with white skinny jeans to complete this look. Or put together a chic outfit by pairing your shirt dress with gladiator sandals or white leggings and ballet flats for more coverage. If you are nervous about wearing head to toe white, get your feet wet, with white shoes, handbags, sunglasses, hats, jewelry and watches, which have also been white washed this summer.
