The no-white-after-Labor-Day rule has never made much sense to us—who would actually say no to a white cashmere winter ensemble? But even though the bright neutral looks amazing all year long, we can't deny what a perfect match it is for summer, especially with the free feeling the season brings. It’s time to get reacquainted with one of the most precarious yet irresistibly chic fashion equations: the all-white outfit. 

An all-white outfit provides a clean, crisp aesthetic that can be casual as a coordinated lounge set or elevated with a mixture of textures such as linen, lace, chiffon, and knits. Even with a minimalist, monochromatic palette, you'll find endlessly creative ways to wear the color across occasions, price points, and style sensibilities. Ahead, 15 all-white outfits show just how versatile monochromatic styling can be.

Flip flops may be summer’s most casual shoes, but they look elevated and modern when paired with a classic wrap dress in a coordinating color.

Style your button-down however you'd like to personalize this all-white outfit. For instance, you can tuck it into wide-leg jeans for a classic look or tie the shirt up for something a bit more summery.

The Micro Print

If stark white is not your taste, an alternative to an all-white ensemble is a nearly entirely monochromatic palette with a mini floral print. Complete the combination with a sweet, strappy sandal.

The Romper
