KATE MIDDLETON has demonstrated why white is a summer staple.
Wearing a perfectly tailored suit – which looks to be the same Alexander McQueen outfit she wore in Jamaica in March – Kate was a vision in all-white at the unveiling of the National Windrush Monument in London.
Whether you want to look sleek in a tailored blazer, breathe easy in broderie anglaise or work light denim, there are plenty of ways to wear white in the warm weather.
They bring a carefree, laid-back vibe to summertime dressing – and here’s how to work white outfits into your wardrobe…
SHORT LACY SUNDRESSES
A short sundress always looks effortlessly cool – and this season, it’s all about crochet trims, lace trims and eyelet details. You can wear yours over swimwear to the beach, and it’ll take you straight to the bar at night.

BOHO MIDIS AND MAXIS
Broderie dresses in light cotton love a summer heatwave, and wearing yours in a midi or maxi style will really channel that boho vibe.
Pair with summery footwear – such as a block heel for a Seventies look, or a flat sole for casual days.

TENNIS-INSPIRED APPAREL
With Wimbledon about to swing into action, tennis-inspired outfits are all the rage.
