When it comes to summer, the white dress is iconic. Bright, clean and tan-adjacent, it just feels right. But with winter firmly in place, there’s always the danger of it being tossed aside for the next few months which is basically a damn shame. So, it’s all about keeping it fresh and adding some layers, like German blogger Aylin Koenig in this dreamy street-style ensemble…

FRESHEN UP YOUR WHITE DRESS FOR WINTER

A midi dress fully embraces that oh-so-prim and twee thing doing the rounds on Instagram right now. To keep it cool, it’s all about modern silhouettes or unlikely fabrics, or enlisting the help of accessories. Aylin keeps the dress semi-traditional (we <3 the shirty material and button-up front), and instead ups the ante with some eclectic outfit plus-ones.

For your own take, go for a little double denim, but not as you know it (or even as 00s Britney Spears knew it). At the base is your white midi dress, in starchy denim with a raw-edge hem. Over the top goes a cropped frayed denim jacket (try adding a turtleneck under the dress for extra warmth), in light-wash blue.
Now here’s the fun part: chunky dad trainers, plus a fierce magenta bum bag – worn slung across the body, blogger-style. Then to finish, layers of 80s-esque chain necklaces, plus some teensy 90s sunglasses. Wowsas.
