What To Wear For An All White Party Dress Code

The White Party is an American institution, though often such a strict dress code can be desperately constrictive. Here is a dose of inspiration then for an all white party dress code be that in the Hamptons or Beverly Hills…

Classic Lace

When thinking of a white ensemble, lace instantly comes to mind. It is a true classic. After all, a midi dress in this elegant material is the epitome of sophistication. To match this aesthetic, a pair of pearl earrings is essential. Nevertheless, white lace and pearls can appear bridal so it is crucial to choose a pair of earrings that feel effortlessly modern, as well as metallic heels with a more architectural design. This is white lace for the contemporary woman.

 

And finally pair it with…The Lucca

 

The Lucca is a simple crossbody bag purse. It features three internal cotton-lined sections with plenty of space for your party essentials. There is also an adjustable shoulder strap for added ease, which could be folded into the purse if you prefer to carry a clutch to summer events. It is completely versatile, particularly in this rich chestnut tan vegetable-tanned leather. As a smart addition to the look, the Lucca is even finished with a gold embossed Maxwell-Scott emblem to tie the complete look together.

Masculine Tailoring

A suit is certainly an expected option for an all white party dress code seeing as the concept of a white party is a long-held tradition. This unexpected, yet sleek, option then is the perfect choice for the modern woman. A double-breasted jacket in particular is the easiest way in which to create a smart overall look. Though, in order to match this masculine style with an undeniable femininity, choose a silk suit that remains a delicate form of tailoring. Such a suit offers a polished look, time after time.

 

And finally pair it with…The Rosa Croco

 

Masculine tailoring is, however, best paired with a classic ladylike purse. The Rosa Croco is ideal. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, our heat-embossed faux crocodile leather is the new timeless texture for the modern woman. And in black, it will perfectly punctuate a white ensemble. The Rosa itself features short carry handles (with a drop of 13cm) and a floor-to-floor zip for practicality. Inside there is a single cotton-lined interior with a slip and a zipped pocket as well. Yet in essence it is the classic look of this purse which ensures its value, as much of a juxtaposition as it is, to this all white party dress code outfit.

Playing With Volume

A strict dress code does encourage us to be more adventurous with our choices. Volume is a particularly interesting way in which to tackle an all white look. A billowing sleeve and sleek waterfall skirt are, after all, easier to wear in themselves in this simple monochromatic palette. Nonetheless, a floating fabric does maintain a feminine aesthetic which means that a spacious pussy-bow blouse tucked into a flowing midi skirt is the perfect combination. It is feminine and fashion-forward. This can be further enhanced by a pair of playfully large and colourful earrings. Still, it would be dull to follow every single rule completely.

 

And finally pair it with…The Medolla

 

If you are wearing a voluminous blouse, you can pair this beautifully with the Medolla saddle bag purse that has its own round shape. A classic design, it remains relatively compact and distinctly practical. There are three internal compartments – one of which is zipped – as well as a slip pocket in the cotton lining and a zipped pocket on the exterior. It is the bright color of the Medolla in petrol though that means that it is a key aspect of this attire. This vibrant color is both joyful and sophisticated, pairing well with other blue tones or as a stand-out piece against a white backdrop.

A Touch Of Print

Despite its being a touch against the ‘rules’, a printed dress is a smart way to ensure your individuality within such a strict dress code. A bold print is especially powerful. It should, however, be paired with pieces that complement the dress code in general. That is to say, a little jewelry that will brightly reflect a white ensemble – with embellishment top to toe. For a white party, anyway, a diamond or two is always required.

 

And finally pair it with…The Liliana

 

A black bag when paired with a white printed dress is as subversive as perhaps is possible for an all white party dress code. The Liliana purse in black boasts a classic bowling bag design, offering plenty of space to accommodate all that you may need for a party during the day. This way this purse adapts to both days in the city as well as smart events. It includes three zipped compartments with two interior pockets in the cotton lining – a slip pocket for a phone and a zipped pocket for your essentials. Wherever you may be then, the Liliana small bowling bag purse is the perfect accompaniment.
