The weather is not quite ready for this summers' biggest colour trend, but I thought I would introduce it early to warm you to the idea; it's a daunting one! Last year saw prints and clashes and all things bright, so for this summer designers have stripped it back to the purest basic possible - white on white. For me white is a phobia colour. It is the easiest to get dirty, the hardest to wear and there is nothing worse than the off-white colour that comes with over washing. But it is time to be brave, embrace the trend and wear it as if it's second nature. This summer white must be worn with white, no excuses. This trend has been seen in the collections of Celine, Valentino, Marni, Chloe and Balenciaga, with the white colour block broken up by mixing textures of folding, frills and sheer fabric panels. I have chosen to focus on the more clean cut aesthetic but many designers featured the trend in very feminine, flamboyant way. The dress featured here is perfect because it's versatility means it can be translated through many trends for years to come; it is a timeless piece and an investment. There are sheer panels on the top and down the sides, adding depth to a very clean cut. The jacket has a very classic shape reminiscent of 1950's glamour, again making it a very timeless piece. I have kept the shoes nude and very slight so as not to detract from the white on white impact. Black shoes could be worn, but I feel nude lends itself better to the feminine feel of this trend. I have featured a white bag with neon detailing to add a bit of a feature to an otherwise block outfit, and to subtly hint at another summer 2013 high street trend. I decided to feature my own watch in this outfit post as I get many compliments on it; it has a vintage design that works well with such a classically themed composition, and it is a statement piece without overpowering. Cheaper examples can be seen in River Island.
