GOACA classics: Summer white

I love wearing white all year round, but especially in summer: it always feels so crisp, cool, and super-chic, especially when paired with bright accessories . I do not, on the other hand, adore how often I stain my white clothes, which I do with stunning regularity, so I always keep an ample supply of Shout on hand and hope for the best. I think this dress is just so flowy and sweet but still really put-together-looking.

I dig the barely-there stripes on this button-down shirt.

A simple, well-priced A-line skirt I’d throw on with a white tee.

A white blazer is always chic, and you can dress it down with a graphic tee or dress it up for the office.

I’d cuff the sleeves on Everlane’s new short-sleeved popover, and wear it with cutoffs.

 

These jeans are straight cut, which I like, because I am not a fan of tight white jeans.

A pretty eyelet top that manages to be feminine without veering into priss territory.

 

An easy beach coverup that has sleeves—rare in a beach coverup—and a nice neckline.

These wide-leg cropped pants would be so cute with a white button-down and contrasting belt.

This gorgeous lace dress isn’t exactly cheap, but it still looks a lot more expensive than it is.

I like the deep V-neck on this tee.

A really snappy pair of skinny pants that would look cute with a Mexican shirt and mules.

A clean-looking blouse with an appealingly peasant-y cut.
