We don't know about you, but we're fully embracing mid-summer – with leaving the house with just a jacket being one of the main ones. And when it comes to our outfit ideas, you'll bet we'll be wearing every print, colour and spring/summer trend 2023 has to offer. If you want to make sure you never fail this season, though, just wear white outfits. Like florals for spring, it never fails to impress and this year it's looking better than ever for summer.

If you're clumsy with a morning coffee or an evening wine then you'll have to be careful, as the way to wear white is pretty much top-to-toe. There's something about an all-white look that always hits the mark – need further proof? We've rounded up six of the best white outfits you'll no doubt want to screenshot to recreate later.

Wear A Sleek Trouser Suit

The power of the trouser suit knows no bounds. For the office with heels, off-duty with trainers and a T-shirt, or worn as separates – it's so versatile. While white tailoring may be scary, Jourdan Dunn proves how it never fails to look effortlessly polished.

White outfits can look surprisingly effortless. We love how this show-goer has teamed an off-white blazer with a white tee and mini skirt. And yes, yes, yes to white socks worn with loafers or brogues.

Never Underestimate A White Vest

If you don't own a vest top yet, get one immediately for all your white outfits. Whether you wear it with a tonal two-piece (as seen above) or with a skirt, jeans or even laid-back shorts, you'll wear it on repeat all season. How chic would this outfit look on holiday? (Also, we told you the skirt-over-trousers look is back!)

Go For White Denim

It's time to have fun with denim this year – while we've already told you about the printed jeans everyone has been wearing, we've left room to talk about white. Classic, timeless and wearable, it's the easy way to take denim into warm-weather territory - and the neck scarf makes it an even cuter outfit.

Add In Matchy-Matchy Accessories

While your entire outfit can be white-on-white, try adding a hint of colour by adding in accessories all in the same shade. See how good this tailored look works with brown? We love.
