The new trend surfacing more and more as the summer continues? White. White dresses to be exact. As seen more this year, white dresses are being paired with little to no accessories (you however can pair one or two pieces to make the dress pop), and plain, neutral shoes (see pictures above, all taken on the same day!).

The real question is, with the white dress being the new item for summer, how come it is rather difficult to find one? I too had trouble finding suitable dresses, alas, the search is over. The best ones, posted here, for just about every price range.

Sunner, $131
Although at first glance, you might claim it resembles that of your grandmothers cooking apron, at second glance, you can appriciate the wrap dress in a new form, with elegant ruffles.




Forever 21 $32.80
Spice it up with a leather jacket like Ashley Olsen, or simple use as a beach cover-up.



Pheobe Couture $310

Eyelet, and with the black band at the bottom, it is that little bit extra on an otherwise simple dress.

Catherine Malandrino, $395
Try pairing with a serious piece of jewelry, like a giant turquiose bracelet, or a metallic cuff.

Jill Stuart, $348
Is it white? Or would you say a bit more peachy? Either or, this number is a stunner with golden shoes (heels or flats), to pick up on the more ivory undertones.

Anthropologie, $88
A simplistic dress can be so much more with the right accessories. Pair with a giant Chocolate brown bag (perfect to wear for school), or a pair of oversized sunglasses to enjoy the outdoors.

Anthropologie, $98
A dress like this needs nothing more than a brightly coloured swimsuit underneath it from travelling back and forth to the beach, and checking out the boardwalk (leather sandals like these would be a plus as well).

Ruby Rox, $68

Not just for day, but bring it into the night with a cardigan in an interesting colour. Try royal blues, turquoises, and perhaps even a splash of red or yellow.

Bebe, $119
Toughen up an otherwise feminine dress, with a rugby striped cardigan (try ivory and navy).
