In this weekly feature, InStyle’s Senior Market Editor/Digital Correspondent Dana Avidan-Cohn shares tips and tricks on how to tackle the latest trends. Look for it on What’s Right Now every Friday, then try out the trend yourself and tweet your look using #HowToWearIt.
We’ve all been there–stuck outside in 100 degree heat in a fabulous silk outfit which is now sticking to our bodies, while our mascara melts off our lashes–not a good look.
To stay cool, be smart about the outfit you put together. Simply put, there is no better staple to acquire then a little white dress, as proven by Olivia Palermo‘s (pictured above, left) casual summer ensemble, and the LWD Victoria Beckham sent down her spring/summer runway (pictured above, right).
You can pick a delicate eyelet made for the Hamptons, or try a sleek trapeze shape, perfect for a city stroll. Either way the LWD is forever a classic well worth spending a drop more! You can justify it by recycling it next summer by simply changing up your accessories. Which brings us to #howtowearit this year – keep the look current by pairing with clean accessories in silver, black, or red. Or if you want to really make statement go monochromatic with a white sandal and pedicure. Just remember the Tide stick!
