It’s officially {or always, in my rulebook} LWD season! If you aren’t familiar with that acronym, it stands for Little White Dress. No more is the fun reserved solely for the Little Black Dress. Summer is the ultimate season for strutting a chic ivory number. The blank canvas of a dress is a jewelry lovers best friend. Dress it up, or dress it down, a LWD is great for any occasion and adept for your summer vacations {especially considering white cloth deflects heat}. Furthermore, once summer passes, throw a jean jacket on top of your ensemble for a classic fall layered look.
Whether you’re wearing your dress in the day {like a stroll through Tuscany – #casual}, night, or as a pre-bridal celebration attire, there are a plethora of options scattered across all your favorite fashion sites. Sold for a range of prices – you’re bound to find a little white dress you love!
DAY TIME
Tiered layers and ruffles go hand in hand with summer. And retails are bringing both to life in oh-so-many ways right now. From Love Shack Fancy and Free People to Rhode and Lilly Pulitzer, brands are doing the LWD often and well, I might add. Dress ’em up with statement accessories! Think: printed hair scarf around your neck, statement earrings, or a wicker crossbody bag. Multiple options that pair incredibly well with your LWD. Bonus – the little white dress photographs well in direct sunlight. Perfect for all those summer travel plans.
BRIDE-TO-BE
These days in the bride-to-be world, you’re typically on the hunt for a slew of options. Be it your engagement photos, bridal shower, bachelorette party, or rehearsal dinner – you’re expected to sport an all-white outfit. But that’s part of the fun, right?! All of these dresses {and ropers} won’t take away from your glow but will keep the eyes on you. And by gosh, you’re the bride – it’s your time to steal the show!
NIGHT TIME
When I think romance, I picture a white dress on a warm beach with the sun nearly set. While that may be cheesy, I’d argue it rings true for a lot of us. There’s just something about wearing all-white at night. Red wine might be out of the question, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for these elegant night-out dresses.
Which one’s your favorite LWD? Or are you a die-hard LBD supporter?
All such great suggestions, but partial to your dress! It’s perfect for a European getaway!
