How to Wear Head-to-Toe White Like Beyonce, Kim & Gigi

So many things can go wrong when you wear all white: red wine, coffee, the general dirtiness of life. (If you haven’t already read about how everything is coated in poop, now might not be the best time.) But who cares when it looks this good?

Slouchy, fitted, casual, fancy—women like Beyonce, Lily Aldridge, and of course Kim Kardashian prove that a little white dress isn’t the only way to wear spring’s hottest color. Though it might be the easiest, you’ll look infinitely more interesting after layering shades of bright white with nudes, ivory, and pale pink in a variety of textures.

You probably have a favorite pair of white jeans, and there’s no shortage of white dresses out there. But the key to most of these is the topper: a loosely fitting white jacket that pulls everything together. Throw this low-slung jacket in a twill silk blend by Rosetta Getty over a white slip dress, or on top of ivory pants. A classic trench silhouette, like this one from DKNY, will work with everything in your closet. And if slouchy isn’t your style, try something more tailored, like this long linen blazer from J.Crew.

As for how exactly to style the look, here’s all the inspiration you need.
