White maxi dresses are a part of that illusive clothing category that seem to never, ever go out of style. Always on trend and always elegant, it’s easy to see why so many favour this fresh and angelic hue for their evening wear. Whether you are new to the world of white maxi gowns or you are on the search for the perfect white dress for your next special event, consider these top outfit ideas on how to wear a white maxi dress in a way that makes you look and feel your best. 

Focus on textures 

One of the best things about a white maxi dress is that it gives you so much opportunity to amplify different textures and design features. From delicate lace to crystal embroidery, sheer panels and floral motifs, there is no shortage of possibilities when it comes to embracing different textures to uplift even the simplest of white maxi dress silhouettes. For a serene statement, choose an off the shoulder white maxi gown with a figure-skimming cut, off the shoulder long sleeves and a high leg split. This clean cut and modern base serves as the perfect canvas for stitched diamantes and a dreamy feather detailed neckline. Add yet more elements with pearlescent jewellery or patent leather for a striking look that is guaranteed to turn heads. 

Play with negative space 

Another great way to make the simple white maxi dress your own is by thinking about how you can use negative space to carve out your silhouette and up the impact of your look. A column cut white maxi gown with a sleeveless fit and a strapless neckline will go from subtle to statement with the introduction of a few thoughtfully placed side cut out components. These will sculpt your torso and draw the eye to your waist while elongating your figure, creating a truly stunning look that is ideal if you want to bring a completely new feel to cocktail hour. 

Make it a two piece 

Two-piece sets are a fantastic way of revamping your evening or day time event look. The set is a brilliant investment as it not only gives a stunning and cohesive look that is suited to all types of different occasions, but it also has components that you can mix and match with all your other wardrobe essentials for a refreshed rotation. You can opt for a pants and crop set with wide-leg dress pants and a feather detailed crop for a dreamy yet different look or choose a swinging maxi skirt and a cropped top with a sweetheart neckline for a more romantic take on the look. The separate pieces will work to emphasise your silhouette while making putting together your ensemble more effortless than ever, making it a beautiful choice for day or night.
