What to wear with a white dress?

What jacket should you wear with a white dress?

Your white dress, tailored to your body shape (I, A, X, 8, O, V, H), pairs beautifully with any type of jacket. This is great to know, as long as you adhere to a few simple rules of colour coordination: be careful not to choose a colour that is too bold, as it can create a double disadvantage. First, it can dull the brightness of your outfit, and second, it may create a sharp, boxy impression that detracts from your dress.

However, no matter the season in which you wish to showcase your feminine beauty, you have a wide range of options available. At Boho Via, we particularly love bohemian-style jackets as they pair perfectly with a white dress.

Here are some jacket examples you might consider wearing:

• Militarystyle Jacket: A military-style jacket is remarkably stylish for a spring brunch with friends. It adds a unique touch that contrasts nicely with the elegance of your dress.
• Fringed Sleeve Jacket: A fringed sleeve jacket worn over your off-the-shoulder dress at your colleague's farewell party will undoubtedly enhance the celebratory atmosphere expected in a professional setting.
• Blazer: Heading out for an urban picnic with long-time friends, a blazer showcases the stylish woman within you, effortlessly merging fun with sophistication at this shared moment.
• Coat: Your coat is the perfect element to protect your draped dress while visiting a café during the rigorous winter. If you wish, you could opt for a fur coat that adds radiant distinctiveness to your stride. A collared coat can also elevate your presence, giving you a surprising starlet allure.
• Denim Jacket: A denim jacket, adaptable to any casual occasion, is perfect for strolling among the second-hand book stalls by the Seine, all while looking fabulous in your ruffled dress.
• Parka: With its rugged charm, a parka keeps your knitwear dress snug during a cozy camping meal as night falls. Perfect for maintaining elegance between cheese and dessert!
• Vest: Don’t forget to wear your vest over your cocktail dress when attending a casual business lunch where appropriate etiquette marries the expectation of signing promising "win-win" contracts.
• Biker Jacket: A biker jacket is unparalleled in dressing up your straight-cut dress and the entrepreneurial woman you embody. She's aware that she can navigate swiftly but knows that together, they can go even further.
• Trench Coat: Your waterproof trench coat proves useful and harmonises beautifully with your country-style dress during light, purifying rain.
• Aviator Jacket: A monochrome aviator jacket paired with your skater dress adds an elusive flair for attending an important working breakfast.
• Puffer Jacket: A puffer jacket fits perfectly with your midi dress for picking up a well-deserved treat for your lovely children after the last chime from the primary school bell you just visited.
• Cardigan: A mohair cardigan is just what you need, perfectly in tune with your tank dress to illuminate your aura during a relaxed yet serious interview.
• Tweed Jacket: Grabbing your tweed jacket is a clever choice for highlighting your shirt dress during a girls' night out.
• Kimono: Lastly, your kimono over your fitted dress is a fantastic choice after your brave gym session, rewarding your body handsomely.

This list is not exhaustive, but it gives you a fresh perspective on the types of jackets available to you. Choose those that offer you freedom of movement.

It’s entirely up to you to select the style that best represents you!

What shoes to wear with a lace white dress?

There are two schools of thought when it comes to choosing the colour of your shoes:

Some women believe that white shoes accentuate a silhouette looking to be understated or adopt a classic, even baroque style.

Others think it’s necessary to showcase shoes in a completely different colour than white to enhance your advantages optimally.

Ultimately, it’s up to you, based on your personality, psychology, intention, and the weather. Summer especially invites bright and bold colours. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your own skin.

Here are our shoe recommendations based on the seasons:

• In summer, warm up your feet with chocolate wooden sandals, royal blue espadrilles, crimson clogs, dark yellow gladiators, leather flip-flops in a toasty hue, scarlet fringed sandals, or strawberry slippers.
• In winter, for laid-back evenings, feel free to match your marble dress with mahogany boots, apricot western boots, charcoal high boots, auburn Uggs, cinnamon lace-up booties, cocoa Chelsea boots, or metallic flat booties (copper, bronze, or pearlescent).
• For spring and autumn or prestigious occasions, it’s best to wear black heels, milk coffee derby shoes, caramel loafers, burgundy mules, navy wedge shoes, or simply nude shoes.

What colour underwear should you wear under a white dress?

The key here is to conduct a thorough 360-degree check in the mirror before heading out. Pay special attention to your underwear. Make multiple checks to ensure it matches your skin tone and subtly complements your style. It’s best to favour opalescent, skin-tone, nude, or pastel colours.

Maintain the same philosophy for your top underwear, your bra. The shape must directly correlate with that of your dress, meaning your décolletage shape and the design and thickness of your straps if they are present.

Aim to create a certain "white romance" without revealing anything unsightly.

TRANSPARENT WHITE DRESS

The fundamental technique that unites bodily elegance and the stylistic richness of your appearance is to remember that the material of your dress sadly tends to turn transparent when it comes into contact with moisture! Therefore, be cautious if you need to wear it and tend to sweat excessively. However, you have two tricks. First, wear a bikini top. Take the time to find a style that suits you. Secondly, if you want to eliminate as many uncertainties as possible, opt for a slip that unifies how you will be perceived, allowing you to feel more at ease.

How to do makeup with a white dress?

Generally speaking, with such a dress, you can indulge in any make-up imaginable and available on the cosmetics market.

Just aim to break the potential pallor that may arise if you don’t frame your pretty face with colour. However, use it sparingly and wisely. You have a range of tools to either accentuate or subtly highlight your features. Red lipstick and red nail polish are timeless items that always seem to have an eternally hypnotic effect on the male gaze and beyond. This way, you can maximise your natural allure in an ever-changing world.

Just as there are various skin types, you should consider the range of products you can use: foundation, concealer, setting powder that mattifies, blush, eyeshadows, white or flesh-toned eyeliner, black eyeliner and mascara, brow kit, and clear gloss. Many bloggers detail their shades of use online. The key takeaway is to remember that too much is often harmful. So, don’t go overboard while using these products. Simply enhance the subtlety of your physique and appearance.

How to accessorise a white dress?

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

• Jewellery: Don’t forget to equip yourself with your necklaces, earrings, your stylish siver watch, golden bracelets (both wrist and ankle), various pendants, your glittering scarf, your chic brooch, rings (even bold ones), and your tulle scarf.
• Straw Hat: For headwear, a straw hat pairs perfectly with your long dress during idyllic afternoons in the serene countryside.
• Beret: A beret also suits this rustic setting while showcasing your flowing dress. You won’t fear any gusts of wind nor your fitted crochet dress.
• Headband: Your headband complements the sporty vibe of your creamy sheath dress, especially when you enjoy a refreshing glass of freshly squeezed juice.

• Bandana: Your bandana adds a rock and roll flair to your long V-neck dress.
• Embellished Hat: Your ornate hat makes you look stunning in your fabulous tuxedo dress as soon as you arrive at a modern, lively, and friendly music party.
• Woven Bag: Don’t hesitate to carry your woven bag for personal belongings when the circumstances call for it.
• Net Bag: Your net bag can be invaluable for transport when wearing your trapeze dress.
• Clutch: The clutch brings a classy and bohemian tone to your satin slip dress: save it for your intimate moments illuminated by the romantic glow of candlelight dinners.
• Tote Bag: Resourceful women opt for tote bags on their adventurous escapades.
• Crossbody Bag: For strolling along the beach with your flared dress, opt for a crossbody bag that allows freedom of movement aligned with the elements.
• Purse: The purse is a must when you’re out and about in your tailored dress adorned with a fleur-de-lis embroidery.
• Waist Belt: Depending on your frame, choose a fitted leather or suede belt. If it’s not secure, consider a waist cincher without delay.
• Sunglasses: Of course, we can’t forget that the right choice of sunglasses is crucial. Treat yourself to various colours based on your taste and eye colour. They enhance the sunny personality that exudes from your presence, partly due to the whiteness of your dress.

Let your mood and character flow freely. Create your white paradise with all these accessories that perfectly blend with your uniqueness.

It’s essential to avoid imitating others, as you might fall into a mimicry that diminishes your accessories to mere trinkets!

That said, keep in mind that ultimately, and most importantly in answering the question posed in this section, the best asset you have is you, naturally!
