At least once a week, I like to live dangerously. And by that, I mean I slip into a chic head-to-toe white outfit despite the fact that a) I have one seriously

messy toddler and b) I drink a copious amount of tea and coffee. Call me crazy, but sometimes when it comes to fashion, the heart wins over the head! An all-white outfit is sumptuously sophisticated and inherently expensive looking—even if you haven't spent a fortune on it.

A flurry of all-white outfits sashayed down the runways this year, from billowy lace dresses to sleek, relaxed tailoring. If that's not enough to get you excited, Instagram's style set has been showing us a myriad of cool and easy ways to wear the tricky trend, proving that there's no better time than summer to take on the style. While we are mostly staying home and are less risk-averse to stains, why not give a head-to-toe white outfit a whirl? (Although, I do advise keeping coffee and messy kids at a safe distance!)

The key to pulling off the trend this summer is to play with textures, layering, and volume, which will keep your look interesting. Also, don't be afraid of breaking up the look with contrasting accessories, from black sandals to gold jewelry. If an all-white outfit feels a little daunting, mix it up by adding buttery neutrals. Below, I'm sharing some seriously cool all-white outfits to help you take on the trend this summer.
