Ten of the best white dresses

ByA.F.

As the summer solstice draws to an end, we say goodbye to spring and welcome summer. We’ve had the pinks and the pastels for the spring season but now it’s time to set those tans off with a splash of white.

Of course white works for clothes and accessories but we’re going for a classic – the demure white dress. Except it’s less about frou-frou wedding dresses and more about fabulous outfits for the cocktail hour.
