Nothing says summer vacay quite like white-on-white, and this year we’re diving headfirst into the must-have holiday trend of SS17. Want a slice of the action? Check out how to wear white from head to toe with a little inspo from fashion bloggers Chloe Plumstead and Hannah Gale. Maximum Insta points await.
Beach Please!
Hannah Gale wears: Two Tone Chic Fedora, £20 | Louisa Off The Shoulder Dress, £35 | Wanderlust Bag, £22 | Chrissy Plaited Sandal, £25. Right: Crochet Top Maxi Dress, £39 | Plunge Swimsuit, £32 | Broderie Bikini Top, £17 | Broderie Bikini Bottoms, £16
Wanna wow at the beach? Make like mega babe Hannah and rock a swishy little white dress (off the shoulder styles = so SS17), or slip into a flowy crochet maxi for Grecian goddess vibes. Step it up with an all-white swimsuit or bikini to show off that golden glow to absolute perfection. Dreamy.
Raise The Bar
Hannah Gale wears: Double Bridge Round Sunglasses, £15 | Tamsin Kaftan, £35 | Wanderlust Bag, £22 | Chrissy Plaited Sandal, £25. Chloe Plumstead wears: Metal Cateye Sunglasses, £12 | Embroidered Beach Shirt, £27 | Jaipur Mirror Across Body Bag, £25 | Gracie Strappy Sandals, £25
Whether you’re having a lazy lunch or checking out the views with an ice-cold drink, a crisp white cover-up is your beach-to-bar BFF. Throw on a simple shirt dress like our Insta-style crush Chloe, or follow Hannah’s colour cue with pink-on-white embroideries.
Head To Toe

The secret to wearing white without looking OTT? Neutral-hued accessories. Think straw hats and sandals in pared-back palettes of tan and nude, injecting a dose of sun-kissed sparkle with luxe gold metallics.
Sun Dressed

Because a girl can never pack too many dresses, right? Turn your holiday wardrobe into a total white-out with sun-bleached dresses to wear from poolside to party – we love how Chloe has styled hers with tonal tan extras.
Bag It Up

When it comes picking a beach bag for that all-white holiday get-up, natural shades are the way to go. Get your hands on a slogan tote that’s roomy enough for all those vacay essentials, or hit the town in duffel bags and across-body styles to throw on and go.
