Tips to accessorize a white dress

White spells classic. It is a modern staple just waiting to be taken to the next level with the right accessories.

Today's white dresses are fashioned in flowing, ultra-feminine styles and straight, simple cuts. Whether it is a formal dress, cocktail dress or a light summer dress, your white dress can be dressed up or down with the right accessories.

Decide on a look
Have a goal in your mind for your white dress for a date night, don't shy away and go bold. For work, go for a subdued look.

Slip on a slip
Always wear a slip and either white or nude undergarments with a white dress, more important if you're sheer white dress. White tends to be transparent, and the fabric may cling to your body if you don't have a slip.

Colour and unexpected element
Pair a white shirt dress with a colourful, chunky necklace, a unique clutch and strappy heels for a girls' night out. Fun sneakers make the look more casual and comfortable.

Rock it up
Try out your white halter or white strapless dress with black tights and black ankle boots. Add a black statement necklace or a biker jacket to give the angelic white an edge. A structured blazer can take you places.

Get belted
Bring an eclectic vibe to your white dress with a textured or a wide belt. Shirt dresses are making headlines this time of the year, wrap a dark skinny clincher and finish the look with platforms or heels in a lighter shade
