White-on-white is no longer a fashion crime, or restricted to the Hampton’s lavish summer parties.

Dolce & Gabanna, Calvin Klein, and Derek Lam showcased at least one head-to-toe summer white outfit on their runways. However, two white-on-white themes dominated international runways:

Designers like Celine opted for modern, sharply tailored, and minimalistic looks such as blazers and collarless blouses. While others such as Ralph Lauren took the look to a whole new level and gave it a romantic folksy twist with lace dresses, maxi skirts, and romantic folksy blouses.

How to rock this look under your abaya? Follow these steps:

• If you’re rocking a white-on-white look, avoid opting for white accessories. Instead go for chunky metallics, or those in bright hues. Yellow and blue will do the trick
• Fancy the romantic look? Match a romantic silk blouse with a maxi lace skirt and pair up with a soft leather clutch
• Don’t want to pull off the white-on-white look? Simple. Opt for only one white item such as tailored pants and pair it with a striped blouse, or colour blocked tops; the result: a combination of this season’s two hottest trends!

 

Great finds available at:

• White pants, blazers, and blouses available at Zara in Marina Mall and Abu Dhabi Mall
• My favourite white shirt-dress is available at Reiss. You can pull it off solo or pair pants beneath. Match it with a thin waist belt and voila, you pulled off an effortless chic look!
• Top Shop at Marina Mall for romantic white blouses and chunky metallic accessories
• Head over to H&M for a variety of folksy accessories such as belts and rings all at budget friendly prices.
