White Dress Edit
Not for brides, though brides are welcome too.
Dear Reader,
Aside from the “guest at a wedding” rule, I believe a white dress can be worn nearly any day, for nearly anything, all spring and summer long.
Vacation mode? White dress. Lunch with friends? White dress. Family photos? White dress. Absolutely nothing to do? White dress.
They’re timeless, effortless, and — once the weather turns warm — often the most comfortable thing you can put on.
Not all white dresses are created equally, though. A dress doesn’t cross the finish line simply because it’s white.
Ironically, white exposes the things other colors conceal — the stitching, the fabric, the cut, the drape. A crisp poplin reads differently than a soft linen slip or an eyelet dress with a flutter of femininity
So below, a few categories from my current edit — and the ones I keep coming back to.
In the meantime, you can browse the full edit here with 70 white dresses at a variety of prices (starting below $100).
Happy white dress season to all!

The Poplin / Linen
The fabrics that lives between a picnic and an evening walk — casual enough for every day, pretty enough for almost anything.
Above I am walking in a very favorite poplin from Simkhai this season.
Some favorites: Ralph Lauren ($298) | Staud Poplin ($325) | Veronica Beard Linen (30% off)
The Shirt Dress
Like a white shirt. It just works. Always.
Some favorites: Staud shirt dress ($265) | Gwyn shirt dress (use MEGAN15) | Attersee shirt dress ($1,195)
Romantic
Lace, ruching, jacquard — the dresses that feel most feminine. Wear them to a brunch. Wear them to a dinner date.
Some favorite: Tove ($758) | Rixo (30% off) | Sea New York ($425)
The Mini
Short hemlines, high summer energy. These are the ones you reach for when it’s hot and you want to feel good.
Some favorites: Attersee mini ($795) | Jenni Kayne mini ($365) | Madewell mini ($118)
