White Hot: Our Faves Show Us How To Rock White For Summer

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

In case you needed to be reminded: white is just as chic as black. Solange’s knack for donning crisp winter white for all seasons is a prime example of how elegant the hue can be. Even if you opt out of going wearing the color from head to toe, incorporating some white pieces is a simple way to add a modern touch to your outfit. Here are a few simple ways to weave white in your wardrobe this summer, no matter your personal style.

Embrace White Shoes: If you prefer an athleisure look, pair your outfit with all-white sneakers. Or, trade them in for a pair of white booties to wear with a mini-skirt or a T-shirt dress.

Throw On A Chic White Dress: Never hesitate to dress up, no matter what’s on your agenda for the day. This mother of three, Beyoncé, stepped out in an all-white outfit, and so can you. Just keep those all white sneakers in a bag nearby just in case you have to switch out of those heels. To keep your look from looking too bridal, choose different cuts and silhouettes a la Beyoncé.

Tuck A Button-Up Into A Show-Stopping Skirt (Or, Jeans): You can easily transition from a hard day spent in the office or at school to a night out with friends, with a stark white button-up skirt.

Wear White Jeans: Leave it to style queens Zendaya and Normani Kordei to show us how to rock white pants during warmer seasons. Swap out your go-to blue denim for super white jeans or slouchy pants to keep you looking (and feeling) cool straight through Labor Day.

If you’re still not sure how you will pull off wearing your all-white pieces, take note of how these celebrities are doing it.
