1. Silver
If you’re looking for a flirty white summer dress outfit, a white dress with silver shoes always works. Silver shoes are a classic choice so I think they create a timeless and glamorous look. I recommend this outfit to a fun event like a date night or birthday party. To complete the look and add some color, I recommend adding a pair of earrings and a handbag in a pop of color, like pink. These silver heels can also coordinate well with a black dress.
2. White
If you’re looking for a pretty and feminine look for your next summer party, try a white lace summer dress with white heels. Add some neutral accessories for a look that is perfect for a white party, a bridal shower, or another dressy summer event. I recommend a few gold jewelry pieces for some additional shine and texture to complete the look.
3. Red
For a bold and beautiful outfit, try this white summer maxi dress with a pair of lipstick red heels. The gold bracelets and watch stack that I’ve included in this outfit add to the glamorous and “extra-ness” if this look. A simple white purse will complete the look for an outfit that is perfect for a vacation, summer brunch, and more.
4. Nude
I think this white summer shirtdress has a crisp and preppy feel, and needs some accessories that will add to the look-and-feel of this “summer in the Hamptons” look. Add a pair of nude heels and a pink straw handbag for a look that is perfect for a summer day event. These accessories would also look perfect with a taupe dress for summer.
5. Blue
If you are looking for an outfit that is a bit more unexpected, try a pair of dark blue sandals with a white dress for summer. I recommend this summer outfit for a casual weekend or a vacation look that can go from lunch to pool. Keep the rest of the look simple with a few silver accessories.
6. Yellow
For a unique and fun look, consider pairing a white summer dress with yellow platform sandals. Yellow shoes can add a touch of fun to any outfit. I would style this outfit for a summer party or a vacation look that can easily go from day to night.
7. Purple
I think these purple heels with a white summer dress are attention-grabbing, elegant, and sophisticated. Some shiny accessories offset the matte leather of the heels used in this outfit. I recommend this look for a summer party or a date night.
8. Orange
I love the color orange with a white dress. It’s fun and casual, and screams summer is here! I love this styled look for a summer vacation. The clear tote is so fun to carry all your beachy vacation essentials. The gold jewelry is so glamorous and beautiful. This outfit can easily go from day to night. For a more casual look, ditch the jewelry and add a pair of flat sandals like the Tory Burch Miller sandals instead.
9. Gold
If you’re looking for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner outfit, this lace dress is perfect. Add some shiny gold heels and jewelry to dress up the look, and add some glamour. This outfit is perfect for your wedding events especially for a beach wedding.
10. Pink
I love the combination of pink, blue and white. It’s so feminine and bold but in a subtle way, if you know what I mean. This outfit would be perfect for a baby shower – is it a boy or girl?!
