What to Wear with a White Dress?

What jacket goes with a white dress?

Your white dress, tailored to suit your body shape (I, A, X, 8, O, V, H), pairs wonderfully with any type of jacket. This is a great thing to know, provided you follow a little rule of colour coordination: be careful not to choose a jacket in a too aggressive colour that could detract from your look. First, it might dull the brilliance of your outfit, and secondly, it could create an overly angular appearance that clashes with your dress.

Regardless of the season in which you wish to shine in all your feminine glory, there is a wide range of choices available to you. At Boho Via, we particularly love bohemian-style jackets as they pair wonderfully with a white dress.

Here are a few examples of jackets you might wear:

• Military Jacket: If you opt for a military jacket, it’s remarkably stylish for a spring brunch with friends. It adds an unexpected touch that contrasts beautifully with the elegance of your dress.
• Fringed Jacket: A fringed jacket draped over your off-the-shoulder dress during a colleague's farewell party will significantly elevate the festive and cheerful vibe expected at such an occasion.
• Blazer: When heading off for an urban picnic with long-time friends, your blazer showcases the fun and elegant woman in you during this cherished moment of sharing and friendship.
• Coat: Your coat is the essential element that protects your draped dress for your café rendezvous during the chill of winter. If you fancy, you can also choose a fur coat that adds a radiant elegance to your stride. Alternatively, a collared coat could enhance your poise, giving you a surprising starlet quality.
• Denim Jacket: Your denim jacket, which adapts beautifully to moments of casualness, is perfect for wandering amongst the second-hand book vendors along the Seine in Paris, all while wearing your stunning ruffled dress.
• Parka: With its rebellious charm, your parka cleverly protects your knitted dress during a cosy evening meal around a campfire. It ensures you remain stylish between courses!
• Cardigan: Consider wearing a cardigan over your cocktail dress during an informal business lunch where decorum meets the opportunity to sign promising "win-win" contracts.
• Biker Jacket: Your biker jacket is unmatched for dressing up your fitted dress and the entrepreneurial woman you are, who knows she can go fast alone but that collaboration always takes her further.
• Trench Coat: Your waterproof trench coat is both practical and harmonious with your peasant-style dress on those refreshing rainy days.
• Aviator Jacket: Your monochrome aviator jacket, paired with your skater dress, adds an elusive flair for attending an important working breakfast.
• Puffer Jacket: Your puffer jacket harmonises perfectly with your midi dress when you’re off to fetch a well-deserved treat for your charming children after hearing the final bell at primary school.
• Cardigan: Your mohair cardigan is just what you need, aligning perfectly with your tank dress to enhance your aura during a casual yet serious interview.
• Tweed Jacket: Grab your tweed jacket to highlight your shirt dress for a night out with your girlfriends.
• Kimono: Finally, your kimono over your fitted dress is an excellent choice, especially after a rewarding fitness session that your body thoroughly appreciates.

This list isn't exhaustive, but it gives you a clear and fresh idea of the types of jackets at your disposal. Choose those that allow you to move freely.

It's entirely up to you to select the style that resonates with you the most!

What shoes to wear with a lace white dress?

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

Some women believe that white shoes enhance a silhouette aiming for understated elegance or a classic, even baroque, style.

Others, however, think it necessary to opt for a colour other than white to flatter your look perfectly.

Ultimately, you are the sole judge based on your personality, psychology, intentions, and, optionally, the weather. Summer is a particularly favourable season for embracing vibrant and bold colours. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your skin.

Here are our shoe recommendations based on the seasons:

• When summer warms your skin, match your chocolate brown wooden sandals, royal blue espadrilles, crimson clogs, dark yellow gladiators, leather flip-flops in a warm tone, your scarlet fringed sandals, or strawberry slippers.
• To face the winter season and enjoy your "casual" evenings, feel free to combine your marbled dress with mahogany boots, apricot cowboy boots, charcoal thigh-high boots, auburn UGGs, cinnamon lace-up ankle boots, chocolate Chelsea boots, or metallic flat ankle boots (in copper, bronze, or pearlescent shades).
• For the other two seasons or prestigious occasions, it’s best to wear your black heels, café au lait derby shoes, caramel loafers, garnet mules, navy wedge shoes, or simply your nude shoes.

What colour underwear to wear under a white dress?

The rule here is to ensure you look in a 360-degree mirror before heading out. It's crucial to pay particular attention to your knickers. Try several options to ensure they are in harmony with your skin tone and discreetly complement your style. It’s therefore best to choose opalescent, nude, or pastel colours.

The same philosophy applies to your upper underwear, your bra. The shape must directly correlate with that of your dress, your neckline, and the shape and thickness of your straps if they are present.

Try to evoke a sense of "white romance" that leaves nothing poorly visible.

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 has a regrettable tendency to become transparent when it comes into contact with water! Therefore, be cautious if you need to wear it and are prone to sweating. However, you have two tips. Firstly, wear a bikini top. Take the time to try on the style that suits you. Secondly, if you want to eliminate as many doubts as possible, choose a slip dress that unifies and standardises how you will be perceived. This way, you will feel more at ease.

How to apply makeup with a white dress?

In general, with such a dress, you can indulge in all imaginable makeup products available on the cosmetics market.

You just need to avoid a pale, washed-out appearance, which can arise if you don’t take the opportunity to colour your lovely face. However, use products sparingly and judiciously. Numerous tools are at your disposal to either emphasise or subtly highlight your features. Red lipstick and red nail polish are essential items that always leave an endlessly hypnotic effect on the male gaze and beyond. It’s about enhancing your natural allure in an ever-changing world.

Just as there is a variety of skin types, consider the range of techniques you can employ: foundation, concealer, setting powder, blush, eyeshadows, white or nude eyeliner, black eyeliner and mascara, brow kit, and clear gloss. Many bloggers detail their application tips online. The key takeaway is that while more is often less, don’t be heavy-handed with 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 flatters your curves, it becomes an enjoyable game to explore the maze of accessories you can adorn yourself with.

• Jewellery: Don’t forget your necklaces, earrings, silver watches, golden bracelets (both wrist and ankle), various pendants, a glittery scarf, a chic brooch, as well as your rings (even statement pieces) and your tulle scarf.
• Straw Hat: For your headwear, a straw hat is just right with your long dress for your afternoons in the countryside amidst the pastoral serenity of our relaxing provinces.
• Beret: Your beret is also suitable for this kind of rustic setting that showcases your flowing dress. You need not fear any unexpected gusts of wind or your figure-hugging crochet dress.
• Headband: Your headband adorns the sporty style of your creamy sheath dress, perfect for enjoying a well-deserved glass of freshly pressed fruit juice.

• Bandana: Your bandana adds a rock and roll touch to your long v-neck dress.
• Embellished Hat: Your embellished hat will make you stunning in your fabulous tuxedo-style dress upon arrival at a lively, modern music party.
• Wicker Bag: You shouldn't shy away from carrying a wicker bag for your personal belongings according to the occasion.
• Mesh Bag: Your mesh bag can be quite practical during travels, especially when wearing a trapeze dress.
• Clutch: The clutch adds a classy and bourgeois-bohemian tone to your satin nightgown dress, perfect for your intimate moments lit by the romantic glow of a candlelit dinner.
• Tote Bag: Crafty women opt for a tote bag during their adventurous treks.
• Shoulder Bag: For a stroll on the beach in your flared dress, you’d prefer a shoulder bag that allows for free movement in harmony with the natural elements.
• Pouch Bag: The pouch bag is a no-brainer when you have time to leisurely browse the shops in the city.
• Handbag: Finally, your trusty handbag is an indispensable companion when stepping out in your tailored dress adorned with a fleur-de-lis embroidery.
• Belts: Depending on your build, opt for a well-fitted leather or suede belt. If it doesn’t sit well, consider a waist cincher instead.
• Sunglasses: Of course, we can’t forget that choosing your sunglasses is crucial. Feel free to experiment with colours that match your taste and your eye colour. They enhance the sunny vibe that radiates from your presence dressed in the undeniable whiteness of your dress.

Let your mood and character flourish freely. Create your own white paradise with all these accessories that beautifully accompany your originality.

It's essential not to try to imitate others, as that could lead to a mimicry that turns your accessories into mere trinkets!

That said, keep in mind that ultimately, and this is crucial in the quest for answers to the question posed in this section, the best asset, the ultimate trump card, is simply you, naturally!
