m+style : the white dress edit
If there’s one piece that heralds the start of Summer, it’s the white dress. Clean, crisp and endlessly versatile, it’s the kind of item that works hard without making a fuss.
It’s polished enough for work, effortless enough for beach days, and just the right amount of refined for lunches, birthdays and everything in between.
This season’s update leans into soft tailoring, subtle detail and easy femininity: think structured shirting for the office, breezy linens for the beach bar, flattering midis for summer events, and shorter styles that work for busy mornings and warm evenings alike.
Consider it the ultimate allrounder: fresh, flattering and ready for wherever the day takes you.
