Chic, classy, simple: White-on-white trend is here to stay

Summer is here, which means it’s a good time to swap all your dark-hued dresses for white. Whether you are heading for a party, a wedding or simply catching up with your besties over brunch, an all-white ensemble will surely make heads turn. The idea is to keep it simple yet chic. The white-on-white style is an easy way to look fresh. But if you are still in doubt, seek inspirations from these Bollywood divas…
Deepika Padukone

Giving the vintage corset a quirky spin, Deepika sported a white one with side detailing and paired it with white ripped jeans.She completed her look with nude makeup, dark kohled eyes and a messy bun. Do not miss her chunky gold earrings.
Alia Bhatt

Alia consistently managed to grab attention of the netizens every time she stepped out in a white for promotions recently. From pristine white cotton saris with intricate embroidery work to multicoloured polka-dotted white georgette sari — her choices left everyone impressed. Her heavy jhumkas, chandbalis, and a white or a red rose tucked in her hair made everyone go wow!
Shraddha Kapoor

The wedding season is here and given the various rituals associated with traditional Indian weddings, it’s a good idea to go for a white-on-white lehenga-choli set for haldi or mehendi ceremony. Take inspiration from Shraddha Kapoor’s lehenga-choli with lace detailing. The actress wore this for director Luv Ranjan’s wedding in Agra recently. Wear contrasting jewel-toned heavy danglers and tie the hair in a ponytail for a smart look.
Mira Rajput Kapoor

Known for her elegant style quotient, Mira Rajput Kapoor recently opted for a white sheer lehenga sari with a long pallu trail at Sanah Kapur’s (actor-husband Shahid Kapoor’s sister) wedding ceremony. Dainty earrings and sleek hairstyle made her look perfect for the daytime wedding.
Suhana Khan

SRK’s darling daughter Suhana’s style game has always been strong. In this recent post shared by mommy Gauri, Suhana looked drop-dead gorgeous in a white-on-white chikankari lehenga-choli. Minimal makeup, heavily oxidised jhumkas and a neat ponytail completed her look. Don’t miss the bindi that’s making her stand out.
Rakul Preet Singh

If you want a layered look for a wedding ceremony, then take cues from Rakul Preet’s ivory lehenga set that she paired with a long, silk jacket. Ditching the
traditional choli, the actress opted for a bikini top. What’s not to love?
Pooja Hegde

Accentuating her hour-glass figure, Pooja’s white bodycon dress featuring full sleeves and polo neck looks classy, right? The actress kept it simple and
elegant with dainty gold danglers and hair tied neatly.
Tips to ace the white-on-white looksTips to ace the white-on-white looks
1. White is considered a classic in the fashion world. The white-on-white trend is not just limited to ethnic wear but also goes well with Indo-western, western and experimental outfits. White suits almost every skin tone. Attires made of cheese cotton, chiffon, sheer or satin exude an easy and relaxing vibe
2. If your body type is petite, go for a white chiffon fabric and for lean and tall ladies, satin is a good option. Women with any body type can opt for white dresses that have a ruching pattern
3. Silver jewellery with heavy jhumkas and stacks of bangles and finger rings go best with white outfits, if you want to go for a boho-chic look. Dainty, galvanised gold jewellery will accentuate a white attire. To give it a desi touch, a chunky emerald or polki/jadau choker will give a glam twist to a white sari. With white, accessorising should be minimal. If you are wearing a heavy neckpiece, ditch the earrings
4. If you are wearing a sheer fabric in ivory or white, go for petticoat of the same tone. Even if you are on a vacation, a classic white shirt with linen pants will look classy as it’s super breathable and comfortable
