Whether you’ve been invited to a summer soirée that requires partygoers to wear white, or are just trying to rock all of your white pieces before Labor Day (that is, if you’re still following the old fashion rule), wearing all-white doesn’t come naturally to all.

Pulling off an all-white ensemble might seem daunting, but you’ll be able to pull of a crisp, white head-to-toe look with these tips and outfit ideas.

1. Be Confident

The most important rule (and the only rule, for that matter) to keep in mind when wearing any outfit is to be confident.

When wearing all-white, first start by ignoring all the other silly rules about wearing white. They say you should only wear white after Memorial Day and before Labor Day, right? Forget about it.

Secondly, make sure to have fun and try new things with your all-white look. Experimentation and creativity brings us into the next tip.

2. Be Creative

There is more to wearing all-white than just pulling out white pieces from your wardrobe and putting them on. Similar to any other outfit you’ve pulled together, you have to see if your outfit pieces work well together.

Working with single colors can sometimes go the bland route, but you can avoid that in your all-white outfit by using textures, creating balance, adding flavor, and picking up some non-traditional outfit pieces. Read on to learn how:

Textures

To keep your all-white outfit from looking basic and flat, use texture to add dimension. Start with various fabrics. Lace and chiffon are the perfect summery, lightweight fabrics to add to your ensemble. Cotton is another fabric you should consider playing with to add additional texture to a look.

Accents can bring a different element to your outfit. For example, metallic accents, bright gems, and studs will each give your look a unique twist.
