Trend Alert: White Dresses

Karen Alfonso
The white dress trend seems to be taking over!

I’m the biggest advocate of the fail-safe little black dress. But there’s a new trend  that’s slowly creeping up, the once boring virginal white has suddenly got a moment in the spotlight!

Frou frou, flared or midi. What’s your pick?

White dresses are increasingly being spotted at red carpet and events, whether it’s cute flirty frocks or midi-length sheaths. Take a style cue from Nargis and Jessica Biel who both wore super short flared skirt dresses. Biel added a pop of colour by opting for neon statement heels by Nicholas Kirkwood.  Marion Cottilard went the froufrou route in a frothy Christian Dior number. Parineeti Chopra keeps it casual in a simple shift. Whatever the length, white always looks classy!

Style Tip: While wearing white it’s important to understand the fundamentals – nude lingerie should be worn, never white. As for pairing what to wear, the colour-box is your oyster. Accessorizing with statement necklaces like Neha Dhupia and Malaika Arora Khan can really uplift your outfit.
