What Jacket Goes with a White Dress?

Your white dress, tailored to suit your body shape (I, A, X, 8, O, V, H), will pair beautifully with any type of jacket. This is great to know, provided you follow a simple logic of colour coordination: be careful not to choose a hue that is too bold, as this could create a double disadvantage. Firstly, there may be a loss of freshness in the vibrancy of your outfit, and secondly, it could give off a look that is too harsh or boxy, which detracts from your dress.

No matter the season in which you want to shine with your feminine beauty, there’s a wide range of options available to you. At Boho Via, we particularly love bohemian-style jackets as they pair perfectly with a white dress.

Here are some examples of jackets you could wear:

• Military Jacket: A military jacket, for instance, is exceptionally stylish during a spring brunch with friends. It adds a quirky touch that contrasts nicely with the elegance of your dress.
• Fringe Sleeve Jacket: Wearing a fringe sleeve jacket over your off-shoulder dress at your colleague's farewell party will certainly elevate the joyful celebration expected in such a professional setting.
• Blazer: When heading out for a city picnic with long-time mates, your blazer highlights the fun and tall woman in you, marking a moment of sharing and friendship.
• Coat: Your coat is the element that protects your draped dress as you head to a café meeting in the middle of the winter chill. You could also consider a fur coat for a stunning touch to your look. Alternatively, a collared coat can enhance your presence, giving you a surprising starlet appeal.
• Denim Jacket: Your denim jacket, which perfectly suits relaxed occasions, is unbeatable for you to lazy about among the book sellers by the banks of the Seine in your gorgeous ruffled dress.
• Parka: With its rebellious nature, your parka offers robust protection to your knitted dress when enjoying a cozy meal around a campfire at the end of the day. It keeps you stylish between cheese and dessert!

• Biker Jacket: Your biker jacket is unparalleled for complementing your fitted dress and the entrepreneurial woman you are, aware that she can go fast alone, but can go further together.
• Trench Coat: Your waterproof trench coat is as practical as it is harmonious with your peasant-style dress during light, purifying rain.

The choice is yours to pick the style that suits you best!

What Shoes to Wear with a White Lace Dress?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to choosing white shoes:

Some women believe that white shoes highlight a silhouette that wishes to remain understated or exude a classic, even baroque style.

Others, on the contrary, think it necessary to opt for a completely different colour than white to best showcase your figure.

Here, once again, it is entirely up to you, based on your personality, your mood, your intention, and, incidentally, the weather. Summer is particularly suited to the attraction of vivid and eye-catching colours. The main thing is that you feel comfortable in your own skin.

Here are our shoe recommendations by season:

• When summer warms your skin, pair your chocolate wooden sandals, royal blue espadrilles, crimson clogs, dark yellow gladiators, warm leather flip-flops, scarlet fringe sandals, or strawberry slippers.
• To face the winter season and enjoy your casual evenings, feel free to team your marble-coloured dress with mahogany boots, apricot western boots, charcoal heeled thigh-highs, auburn ugg boots, cinnamon lace-up ankle boots, cocoa Chelsea boots, or metallic flat ankle boots (copper, bronze, or pearly).
• For the other two seasons or prestigious occasions, it’s best to wear black heels, latte derby shoes, caramel loafers, burgundy mules, navy wedged shoes, or simply nude shoes.

What Colour Underwear Under a White Dress?

The rule here is to check yourself in a 360-degree mirror before stepping out. Be especially vigilant about your underwear choice. Make several attempts to ensure it is in harmony with your skin tone and discreetly complements your style. It’s advisable to opt for opalescence, flesh tones, nude shades, or pastels.

The same philosophy applies to your top underwear, your bra. The shape should align directly with that of your dress, considering your neckline and the shape and thickness of your straps, if present.

Aim to create a certain "white romance" that makes everything beautifully discreet.

TRANSPARENT WHITE DRESS

The main technique that combines bodily nobility with sophisticated styling is remembering that the fabric of your dress can annoyingly turn transparent at the slightest contact with moisture! Therefore, be cautious if you need to wear it and are prone to sweating or excessive perspiration. However, you have two tricks. Firstly, wearing a bikini top. Take the time to try on the model that suits you. Secondly, if you want to eliminate as many doubts as possible, opt for an underdress that unifies and standardises your appearance. That way, you can feel more at ease.

How to Apply Makeup with a White Dress?

In principle, with such a dress, you can indulge in all the makeup imaginable and available in the cosmetics market.

Just aim to avoid a washed-out look, which may arise if you don’t add some colour to your lovely face. However, it’s important to use makeup sparingly and wisely. You have a wide range of tools at your disposal to highlight your features, such as red lipstick and red nail polish, which are must-haves, always creating a seemingly eternal hypnotic effect on the opposite sex and beyond. It’s about amplifying your natural allure in an ever-changing world.

As there is a variety of skin tones, consider the palette of techniques you can apply: foundation, concealer, setting powder that fixes and mattifies, blush, eyeshadows, white or nude eyeliner, black mascara, brow kit, and transparent gloss. Many bloggers detail their usage nuances online. The key is understanding that too much is the enemy of good. So, don’t overdo it with these products. Simply enhance the subtleties of your appearance.

How to Accessorise a White Dress?

Once you've found the milky dress that flatters your curves, it becomes a captivating game to explore the array of accessories you can adorn yourself with.

• Jewellery: Of course, make sure to add your necklaces, earrings, silver watch, gold bracelets (both wrist and ankle), various pendants, glittery scarf, chic brooch, rings (even bold ones), and your tulle scarf.
• Straw Hat: For your headwear, a straw hat pairs perfectly with your long dress for those peaceful afternoons in the countryside.
• Beret: A beret also complements this rural environment beautifully, enhancing your breezy dress. Don't worry about unexpected gusts or your crochet fit.
• Headband: Your headband adorns the sporty appeal of your creamy sheath dress perfectly when you enjoy a good glass of freshly squeezed juice.
