What to Wear with a White Dress?

Which jacket to wear with a white dress?

Your white dress, tailored to your body shape (I, A, X, 8, O, V, H), will pair wonderfully with any type of jacket. This is a great thing to know, as long as you follow a bit of colour matching logic: be careful not to choose a jacket in a colour that’s too aggressive, which could have a double negative effect. First, there will be a loss of brightness in your outfit, and then an overly angular or square impression that detracts from your dress.

However, no matter what season you want to shine in all your feminine beauty, you have a wide range of choices available to you. At Boho Via, we particularly love bohemian-style jackets because they pair perfectly with a white dress.

Here are some examples of jackets you could wear:

• Military Jacket: If you choose a military jacket, it’s remarkably stylish for a spring brunch with friends. It adds a quirky touch that contrasts nicely with the elegance of your dress.
• Fringed Jacket: A fringed jacket over your off-shoulder dress during a colleague's farewell party will notably enhance the cheerful and festive vibe expected on such an occasion.
• Blazer: When heading out for a city picnic with old friends, a blazer highlights your funky and tall woman side, perfect for a moment of sharing and friendship.
• Coat: Your coat protects your draped dress as you head to a café meeting in the midst of winter's chill. You could also opt for a fur coat to add a touch of radiant distinction to your stride. A collared coat can also elevate your presence, giving it a surprising movie star flair.
• Denim Jacket: Your denim jacket, perfect for casual outings, is ideal for strolling among the booksellers along the banks of the Seine in Paris while wearing your beautiful ruffled dress.
• Parka: With its rebellious style, a parka greatly protects your knit dress during a cozy evening campfire meal. It helps you stay elegant between cheese and dessert!
• Cardigan: Consider wearing your cardigan over your cocktail dress when attending an informal business lunch where decorum meets promising "win-win" contract discussions.
• Biker Jacket: Your biker jacket is perfect for dressing up your straight dress and the entrepreneur woman you are—someone who knows she can go fast but also goes further together.
• Trench Coat: Your waterproof trench coat is as practical as it is stylish over your peasant-style dress on delicate, purifying rainy days.
• Aviator Jacket: Your monochrome aviator jacket paired with your skater dress adds an elusive uniqueness for an important working breakfast.
• Puffer Jacket: Your puffer is a perfect match with your midi dress, ideal for picking up a well-deserved snack for your lovely children after the last bell at primary school.
• Cardigan: A mohair cardigan is just what you need to complement your tank top dress and brighten your aura during a relaxed yet serious meeting.
• Tweed Jacket: Grabbing your tweed jacket is the right choice to accentuate your shirt dress for a night out with friends.
• Kimono: Finally, wearing a kimono over your figure-hugging dress is a good idea after your brave workout session, which your body will greatly appreciate.

This list isn’t exhaustive, but it gives you a fresh and clean idea of the types of jackets available. Choose those that allow you to feel free.

It’s up to you to opt for the style that suits you best!

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 to complement white:

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

Others believe that choosing a colour other than white is necessary to give you the best advantage.

In the end, you are the best judge based on your personality, mindset, intention, and of course the weather. Summer is particularly suited to vibrant and eye-catching colours. The most important 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 brown wooden sandals, royal blue espadrilles, crimson clogs, dark yellow gladiators, leather flip-flops in a warm tone, scarlet fringed sandals, or strawberry slippers.
• To brave the winter season and enjoy your "casual" evenings, feel free to match your marble dress with mahogany boots, apricot cowboy boots, charcoal heeled thigh-highs, auburn UGGs, cinnamon lace-up ankle boots, cocoa Chelsea boots, or metallic flat ankle boots (copper, bronze, or pearlescent).
• For the other two seasons or prestigious occasions, it’s best to wear black heels, café au lait derby shoes, caramel loafers, burgundy mules, navy wedge shoes, or simply nude shoes.

What colour of underwear to wear under a white dress?

The rule here is to make sure you check yourself in the mirror from all angles before heading out. Be especially mindful of your panties. Conduct several observation attempts to ensure it matches your skin tone and works beautifully with your style. It’s best to prioritise opalescence, skin tones, nude, or pastel shades.

The same philosophy applies to your upper undergarment, your bra. The shape should directly correspond to that of your dress, including your neckline and the shape and thickness of your straps if they are present.

Aim to create a certain "white romance" that leaves nothing to be seen.

What to wear under a transparent white dress?

TRANSPARENT WHITE DRESS

The main technique that combines body elegance and stylistic richness in your look is to remember that the fabric of your dress tends to become transparent when it comes into contact with moisture! Therefore, be cautious if you need to wear it and are prone to sweating or hyperhidrosis. However, you have two tricks. Firstly, the bikini top is a good option. Take the time to try on the model 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. And you will feel more at ease as a result.

How to apply makeup with a white dress?

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

You just need to seek to break the pallid look that may appear if you don’t take care to highlight your lovely face with colour. However, it should be done sparingly and wisely. You have a range of many tools at your disposal to either enhance or barely touch on your features. The red lipstick and red nail polish are must-haves that always seem to have an eternally hypnotic effect on the opposite sex and beyond. It’s about maximising your natural allure in an ever-changing world.

Just as there are many skin types, you need to consider the array of methods you can employ: foundation, concealer, setting powder that mattifies, blush, eyeshadows, white or nude eye pencil, eyeliner, and black mascara, brow kit, and clear gloss. Many bloggers detail their shades of use online. The important thing to remember is that sometimes less is more. So be gentle-handed with these products. Simply highlight the subtleties of your physique and appearance.

How to accessorise a white dress?

Once you’ve decided on the milky dress that fits your curves, it becomes an exciting game to navigate through the maze of accessories you can adorn yourself with.

• Jewellery: Make sure to have your necklaces, earrings, silver watch, gold bracelets (both wrist and ankle), various pendants, a glittery scarf, a chic brooch, rings (even large ones), and a tulle scarf.
• Straw Hat: For headwear, a straw hat is perfect with your long dress for your afternoons in the peaceful countryside.
• Beret: Your beret is also suitable for this kind of rural environment, highlighting your flowing dress. You need not fear a gust of wind or your crocheted fitted dress.
• Headband: Your headband enhances the sporty look of your milk-white sheath dress when you rightly enjoy a refreshing glass of fresh fruit juice.

• Bandana: Your bandana adds a rock and roll touch to your long v-neck dress.
• Decorated Hat: Your decorated hat makes you stunning in your fabulous tuxedo dress as you arrive at a modern music party—vibrant and cheerful.
• Wicker Bag: Don't hesitate to carry a wicker bag for your personal items, depending on the occasion.
• Net Bag: Your net bag can be a game changer when moving around on public transport, dressed in your trapeze dress.
• Clutch: The clutch adds a classy, bourgeois-bohemian touch to your satin nightgown dress: save it for your intimate moments by the romantic glow of candlelight dinners.
• Tote Bag: Practical women opt for the tote bag in their adventurous outings.
• Crossbody Bag: For a beach walk in your flared dress, go for a crossbody bag for freedom of movement in harmony with the elements.
• Purse: The purse is a must when you have time to browse shops in town.
• Handbag: Finally, the inseparable handbag is an indispensable companion when you go out in your tailored dress with floral embroidery.
• Waist Belt: Depending on your frame, choose a fitted leather or suede belt. If it isn’t well positioned, consider a waist cincher instead.
• Sunglasses: Of course, we must mention that your choice of sunglasses is crucial. Feel free to choose any colour according to your taste and eye colour. They enhance the sunny vibe emanating from your presence, partially dressed by the whiteness of your dress.

Let your mood and character run free. Create your white paradise with all these accessories that happily merge with your originality.

It’s crucial not to try to imitate others as you might fall into a mimetic trap that turns your accessories into mere trinkets!

That said, keep in mind that, ultimately, without a doubt in the quest for answers to the question posed in this section, your greatest asset is yourself—naturally!
