Crisp White

For decades we have seen the colour black lead the way within the fashion world, and the versatile LBD has been our favourite go-to outfit. But of late there has been a total fashion white-out: on both the catwalk and the red carpet, celebrities have ditched their sultry blacks and are dressing head to toe in pure white for a look that is both elegant and chic.

Khloe Kardashian and Made in Chelsea's Millie Mackintosh have both been spotted embracing this trend at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice awards and the British Academy Television Awards, looking equally as glamorous in bright white dresses and matching accessories. An ideal hue for this season - cool, clean cut and refreshing - white is perfect for showing off those hard earned tans and has even featured in the fashion bible itself, Vogue. Although it may be hard to trade in your LBD for an LWD (Little White Dress), its crisp bright colour will definitely make you stand out from the crowd, and there is much more to play around with in regards to form, fabric and of course, accessories.

Although wearing white looks stunning, it isn’t exactly the most practical colour to wear. If you’re anything like me, then putting on an item of white clothing is asking for some sort of stain. You can overcome the practicality issues of this, without avoiding the trend completely, by incorporating stylish white accessories into your look. A watch is ideal as you can get a lot of variation, whether you want something simple, bold, or something with a dash of sparkle. For a watch that can see you through from day to night, this dazzling white watch from Christian Lacroix will give your outfit a trendy finishing touch.

For those of you that aren’t quite as clumsy as I am and want to fully embrace this look, teaming a structured white dress and white heels with some bold accessories can create a chic, modern look. This sleek and contemporary white leather bangle from Guess has been given a statement gold toned clasp to give striking simplicity to your outfit.

For a more delicate adaptation of this trend, opt for accessorising with pearls. The iridescent shade of pearls allow subtle hints of colour to show through, and adds a bit more depth to a basic white outfit. This glittering pearl and crystal bracelet is perfect for achieving an elegant look with timeless glamour.
