Texture trippin'
Sick of a flat white canvas? Why not play around with textures, from sheer chiffon to stretchy knit? You’ll see how much this adds depth to your otherwise, one-dimensional ensemble.
2/9
White lace
You can never go wrong melding white with lace, they are a match made in fashion heaven. The aesthetically pleasing matrimony is gorgeously displayed in this intricate long-sleeved top that will leave a trail of envious eyes wherever you go.
3/9
White on white
Nothing screams chic louder than a white-on-white getup. As excessive as it may sound, this combo is anything but over the top. Note how the flowiness of the loosely draping top is complemented by the body-hugging skinnies, creating a casual yet put-together look.
4/9
Amp up the accesories
When it comes to sprucing up a white get-up, accessories are your best bet. Whether it’s a dramatic silver necklace or dainty rose gold earrings, white will comply with all your desires. There’s no way the fashion police can charge you with a clashing accessory when it comes to white (unless your taste in accessories are atrocious).
5/9
Metallic Mix
Throw in some metallic hues to the mix and be blown away by how killer this looks. The gleaning surface of the metallic skirt is perfectly balanced by the neutrality of the clean white, ensuring that you don’t get mistaken for a piece of aluminium foil. Galactic yet classy, you’ll be stealing the show wherever you go.
6/9
White boyfriend jeans
We’ve seen white bottoms before but this one’s a total game changer. Incorporate white into your outfit with a pair of classic ripped boyfriend jeans. This refreshing piece instantly gives an edge to your ensemble and makes you look and feel absolutely badass. Pair this with some heeled shoes for that extra height.
7/9
White mesh
No, we promise you won’t look like a fishnet. A blend of fierce and edgy, anyone can pull off the white mesh combo if they wear it right. Your safest bet is to incorporate it into a full-white or monochromatic outfit.
8/9
White summer dress
Ditch the pants. There’s nothing more captivating than a loose white summer dress which accentuates the legs and exudes a girlish aura. Throw on a pair of nude sandals and you’re ready for a picnic in the grass.
9/9
Complete contrast
They say opposites attract - this black and white ensemble perfectly exhibits this. The antonymous tones call forth each piece into emphasis without being too jarring to the eyes.

Think white is bland? Here are 10 ways to look luminous in white.

If you think this seemingly lacklustre colour is only capable of being worn with a mundane pair of jeans, think again. Whether it’s modern chic or downright edgy, white can be incorporated into any ensemble. The neutrality of this colour makes it an absolute dream to work with. Pair it with an audacious orange bomber jacket or a sequin-studded pencil skirt – the possibilities are endless. You’ll be amazed at the multitude of ways you can style white despite it being a mono-shade.

Heard enough? Head on down to our gallery and we’ll walk you through rocking this underdog colour without looking like a walking block of snow.
