On a July day, there is something organically summery about wearing a newly laundered white shirt. Asket’s 100 percent traceable style (£110), Everlane’s boxy Oxford style (£85), and All Saints’ linen button-up are our favorites (3, below). The shirt dress by Simone Rocha worn by Nicola Coughlan (below) is a stylish take on the classic white shirt. Palmer/pleat-trimmed Harding’s or belted statement shirts are available on The Outnet for £180.

It’s not just clothes that are in the spotlight. On the runways of Hermès and Valentino, loose trouser suits were observed. Check out H&M’s rendition (2), which pairs perfectly with white sneakers. Whether you choose to wear it head-to-toe or in wide-leg trousers, shorts, or this season’s runway hero, the white tank top – which dominated the shows from Prada to Bottega Veneta, (available in organic cotton, (£15), from Arket) – at least one of these items should be included in your summer wardrobe.

At The Row’s SS22 show, white coats and dresses illuminated the catwalk, while at Chloé, Gabriela Hearst opened her show with a bohemian-style white outfit, utilizing size-inclusive models to emphasize that this look flatters all body types.

Reformation’s Michaela long-sleeved babydoll dress (1) is available in sizes 18-28, while Fatface’s linen shirt dress (£75) is available in sizes 6-20. A white summer dress is a timeless piece; broderie Anglais designs never go out of style. Take a style cue from Sienna Miller and pair yours with snakeskin shoes and a dramatic red lip.

White is deemed high maintenance by naysayers, who warn that it necessitates a certain level of attention when it comes to beverages. This makes it an ideal candidate for rental — wear it once and return it, and let the rental company handle the cleaning.
