The no-white-after-Labor-Day rule has never made much sense to me—who would actually say no to a white cashmere winter ensemble? But even though white looks amazing all year long, I can’t deny what a perfect match it is for spring and summer. It’s time to get reacquainted with one of the most precarious yet irresistibly chic fashion equations: the all-white outfit. 

An all-white outfit provides a clean, crisp aesthetic that can be casual as a coordinated lounge set or elevated with a mixture of textures such as linen, lace, chiffon, and knits. Even with a minimalist, monochromatic palette, you’ll find endlessly creative ways to wear the color across occasions, price points, and style sensibilities.
