The white clothing trend is one of our favorite S/S 2014 trends. It is fresh and simple, and it offers a myriad of styling possibilities. And when it comes to dresses, the white ones are always striking. The color itself is a statement.
So, do your wardrobe a favor and invest in some essential white dresses. If you have no idea what to get and how to style them, try the following celebrity outfits:
1. Tea-length plain white dress on Emmy Rossum

5. Tent dress on Rosamund Pike
It’s easy to shy away from white tent dresses because it might resemble a sleeping garb.
One way to make sure that it doesn’t happen, though, is to opt for a mini tent dress and to wear it with classic pieces, such as a pair of Mary Jane pumps and a leather handbag.
