Somehow, even though it’s a pain in the ass to get to in NYC sans car, I’ve managed to hit the beach almost every weekend. I’m the tannest I’ve ever been (yes, this is tan for me). So, naturally I’ve been working the all-white ensemble to show off my bronzed bod (I promise I’m tan). You’ll definitely turn some heads when wearing all white for summer, but here’s how to do it in a laid back way. If you’re looking to switch up your go-to off duty summer look, this is for you.

An off-the-shoulder top in a linen fabric is on trend & looks summery.

Give the white for summer look some dimension by wearing pieces with different textures.

To camouflage or counterbalance your midsection, tuck a loose fitting blouse into high-waisted bottoms. Or opt for a one piece that accentuates your waist, then floats away from the body below that. 

Keep the look laid back with simple, minimal accessories of  similar color families. I love these sunnies. They go with basically anything.
