White dresses are going to be your go-to this summer, and we've found 23 of them
White dresses are a wardrobe staple every. single. summer. Sure, we all know and love the icon that is the LBD (little black dress), but what about white summer dresses? They may be a ‘no-no’ for weddings – unless you're the one wearing the wedding dress – and the warm weather-associated hue is typically written off during the winter months, but, aside from that, we can't think of a better colour frock to don.
Hark back to the silhouettes that swathed the SS23 runways a few months ago; Viktor & Rolf, Chanel, Mara Hoffman, Victoria Beckham, Louis Vuitton. What did they all have in common? A selection of the best white dresses, of course.

The perfect antidote to the Barbiecore pinks, cobalt blues and romantic reds we're also witnessing, yet no less attention-grabbing, the white dress is a fresh alternative and – crucially – a lot easier to wear and accessorise thanks to its neutral palette.
Its undoubtedly a risky colour if you're prone to spillages and stains, but white dresses are actually quite versatile items – ones which coincide with many sartorial movements and trends, too. Think cottagecore, cut-outs, and puff sleeves). If you're brave enough to wear one there are plenty of shapes and fabric finishes we're seeing for 2023, from white flattering dresses and floaty dresses, to white mini dresses otherwise known as LWDs. Once you fall for their allure, you'll wonder how and why you've not been relying on them all along.
Picnics, first dates, bottomless brunches…no matter the occasion, a white dress is the ensemble – and we happen to have found 23 of them.
