Which Jacket to 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 good to know, as long as you keep a little colour coordination logic in mind: avoid choosing a jacket in an overly bold colour that could detract from your outfit. First, it might dull the brightness of your dress, and secondly, it may create a jarring, boxy appearance that contrasts with the flow of your dress.

Regardless of the season in which you want to glow in all your feminine glory, there are plenty of options available to you. At Boho Via, we particularly love bohemian-style jackets as they pair perfectly with a white dress.

Jacket with white dress

Here are some jacket examples you could wear:

• Military Jacket: For a casual spring brunch with friends, a military jacket looks incredibly stylish over a marble-patterned dress. It adds an offbeat touch that contrasts nicely with the elegance of your dress.
• Fringed Jacket: A fringed jacket draped over your off-shoulder dress during a colleague’s farewell gathering will undoubtedly elevate the cheerful and festive vibe expected for such an occasion.
• Blazer: When heading out for an urban picnic with long-time friends, a blazer can highlight the funky and tall woman in you, making it a moment of shared fun and friendship.
• Coat: Your coat is essential for protecting your draped dress during a café outing in the harsh winter. If you're feeling adventurous, you could opt for a fur coat that adds a radiant touch to your walk. A collared coat can also enhance your elegance, giving it a surprising movie star flair.
• Denim Jacket: A denim jacket, perfect for laid-back moments, is ideal for strolling among the booksellers along the banks of the Seine in your lovely ruffled dress.
• Parka: With its tough exterior, your parka keeps your sweater dress safe during a cosy camping meal. It's elegant enough to keep you refined between cheese and dessert!
• Vest: Consider layering a vest over your cocktail dress during an informal business lunch, where decorum meets the prospect of signing lucrative "win-win" contracts.
• Biker Jacket: A biker jacket is unbeatable for styling your straight-cut dress and the entrepreneurial woman you are, knowing that she can move fast, but also go further together.
• Trench: Your waterproof trench is both functional and stylish over your rustic chic dress on drizzley, cleaning rain days.
• Aviator Jacket: A monochrome aviator jacket paired with your flared dress adds an ungraspable quality for attending an important working breakfast.
• Puffer Jacket: A puffer jacket pairs perfectly with your midi dress when fetching a well-deserved snack for your lovely children after the bell rings at primary school.
• Cardigan: Your mohair cardigan is just what you need, aligning beautifully with your tank dress to light up your aura during a relaxed yet serious interview.
• Tweed Jacket: Picking up your tweed jacket is the right move to showcase your shirt dress during a night out with the girls.
• Kimono: Finally, your kimono over a fitted dress is a great choice post your brave workout, celebrating the rewards your body appreciates.

This list isn't exhaustive, but it gives you a fresh and clear idea of the types of jackets available. Choose those that allow you complete freedom of movement.

It’s entirely up to you to opt for the style that reflects you the most!

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 accentuate a silhouette that desires to remain understated or exude a classic, even baroque style.

Others argue that it’s better to choose shoes in a completely different colour from white to showcase your look to its best advantage.

Again, you are the best judge based on your personality, psychology, intention, and also the weather. Summer is particularly suited for bright and bold colours. What matters most is that you feel comfortable with yourself.

Bohème shoes with white dress

Here are our shoe recommendations by season:

• When summer heats up, go for your chocolate brown wooden sandals, royal blue espadrilles, crimson clogs, dark yellow gladiators, leather tan flip-flops, scarlet fringe sandals, or strawberry-coloured slippers.
• For winter nights out, freely pair your marble-patterned dress with mahogany boots, apricot western boots, charcoal thigh-highs, auburn uggs, lace-up cinnamon ankle boots, cocoa chelsea boots, or metallic-look flats (copper, bronze, or pearlescent).
• For the other two seasons or for formal occasions, wearing black stilettos, coffee and milk derby shoes, caramel loafers, burgundy mules, navy wedges, or simply nude shoes would be best.

What Colour Underwear to Wear Under a White Dress?

The key rule here is to do a 360-degree mirror check before you head out. Be particularly cautious with your underwear choices. Make multiple attempts to ensure it aligns well with your skin tone and complements your style seamlessly. It’s preferable to choose options that are opalescent, skin tone, nude, or pastel.

The same philosophy applies to your upper underwear - your bra. The shape should directly relate to your dress, especially the neckline and the style and thickness of any straps, if they are present.

Aim for a certain "white romance" that keeps things discreetly hidden.

What to Wear Under a Sheer White Dress?

SHEER WHITE DRESS

The main technique that combines bodily elegance and stylistic richness in your look is to remember that the fabric of your dress tends to turn see-through upon contact with moisture! Therefore, be careful if you need to wear it and are prone to sweating or hyperhidrosis. However, you have two options. First, wear a bikini top. Take the time to find a model that suits you. Secondly, if you want to eliminate maximum doubts, opt for a slip dress that unifies and standardizes how you will be perceived. This way, you'll feel much more relaxed.

How to Makeup with a White Dress?

In principle, with such a dress, you can indulge in any makeup look available on the cosmetics market.

You just need to avoid a washed-out appearance, which could arise if you don’t add some colour to your lovely face. Nonetheless, it's important to use makeup sparingly and wisely. There’s a range of tools you can use: red lipstick and red nail polish are must-have items that always seem eternally hypnotic to the opposite sex and beyond. It's all about maximising your natural allure in a constantly changing world.

Just like there are various skin types, there are numerous makeup methods you can opt for: foundation, concealer, setting powder, blush, eyeshadow, white or skin-toned eyeliner, black mascara, brow kits, and clear gloss. Many bloggers detail their usage shades online. The key is to remember that less is often more. So, avoid overdoing it when using these products. Simply enhance the subtlety of your appearance.

How to Accessorise a White Dress?

Once you’ve chosen the milk-white dress that complements your curves, it becomes a fun game to navigate through the maze of accessories you can adorn yourself with.

• Jewellery: Don't forget your necklaces, earrings, silver watch, gold bracelets (both wrist and ankle), multi-shaped pendants, sparkly scarf, chic brooch, rings (even prominent ones), and your tulle scarf.
• Straw Hat: For headwear, a straw hat pairs nicely with your long dress for lazy afternoons in the serene countryside.
• Beret: Your beret suits this rustic environment, highlighting your flowy dress. You'll have no worries about unexpected gusts of wind or your crocheted bodycon dress.
• Headband: A headband adds a sporty flair to your milky sheath dress when you're enjoying a refreshing glass of freshly-squeezed juice.

• Bandana: Your bandana adds a rock and roll touch to your long V-neck dress.
• Embellished Hat: An embellished hat makes you stunning in your fabulous tuxedo dress as you arrive at a cheerful modern music "party".
• Wicker Bag: You shouldn't shy away from carrying a wicker bag for your personal effects depending on the occasion.
• Mesh Bag: Your mesh bag can be crucial for transport when wearing your trapeze dress.
• Clutch: A clutch gives a classy, boho-chic tone to your satin slip dress: save it for special moments in the romantic glow of a candlelit dinner.
