The Ultimate Arsenal of Little White Dresses

A sleek midi will prove a must-have for any chic celebration in the city. This one, with an asymmetrical edge, feels festive, sexy, and statuesque—all at the same time.

Plunge in the front, micro mini on the bottom, and all-around effortlessness in between, this dress is for the bride with a figure to flaunt, but who still wants to look effortless. Snag this for a bachelorette weekend, a key event on the beach, or for after-hours partying.

If all-white isn't for you, accent your bridal look with touches of black. Style with deep-toned accessories for a look that still feels special, but doesn't seem too sweet.

If you're after a traditional bridal silhouette with a twist, easy shapes like this silhouette will suit anything from the engagement party to the rehearsal dinner, and will even pair well with a flat for a day out on your wedding weekend.

For the bride who loves the idea of a jumpsuit but can't resist showing off her gams, a sleek mini should be on your shopping list. Hints of suiting that play to power dressing transforms a cute mini into an edgy bridal look—like this one with a notch lapel and embellishment on the hem.

For a destination wedding weekend or backyard bash, rid yourself of ever having to worry about what to wear for a quick hello to your guests or a casual drink at the bar. You'll want to prep a wardrobe of white; easy dresses that pair well with flats by day and heels by night are foolproof.

Prairie-inspired styles filled the recent bridal runways. Take hints from the season's biggest trend with a puff-sleeved, tiered number that feels posh yet prim.

While your wedding events are all about you, dressing for your setting is key. Choose architectural shapes and sleek structure when dressing for an event hosted in a city, industrial space, or a gallery. Pair with an equally sharp pair of pumps.

For the romantic yet bohemian bride, opt for this all-over floral printed dress with a gathered, plunging neckline and a flared skirt. Don it for a brunch, a welcome event, or a sweet midday shower.

Rather than sticking to bridal scripts, why not opt for new shapes, brands, and textures? Zendaya-approved designer Christopher Esber is best known for his artful cutaways and innovative takes on proportion and volume—ideal for the fashion-forward bride looking for something that hasn't been worn a dozen times before.

Coverage doesn't always need to feel conservative. This one-shoulder cape neckline with a mini hemline is case-in-point; pair it with a strappy sandal for party vibes.

Take the proper look of a tweed suit—then add some edge. This is for the bride making a cheeky play on tradition—be it for a garden party, a rehearsal dinner, or a small dinner reception.

The intricate deco beading, godet inserts to add movement in the skirt, and a subtle empire waistline of this look are all about a roaring '20s vibe—just in time for the roaring 2020's. 

Simple silhouettes, like this sleek midi, are elevated by elements of visual interest—like full, ruffled sleeves that add an extra dose of  drama. 

A simple shift—with a bit of built-in embellishment—feels apropos for an engagement party or rehearsal fete.

For the bride who wants to feel sexy without showing too much skin, opt for a satin mini that's sophisticated and seductive in all the best ways. 

When in doubt, imagine the look in your setting. For example: This dress with a pair of white cat-eye sunglasses, chic mules, and a sweet pochette for a garden party.

This is for the bride that's not afraid to make a statement at the after-party or the rehearsal dinner. Don't shy away from bold details, like a micro-mini hemline or super-puff sleeves.

Don't be afraid to infuse details typically associated with the after- party—like feathers—to your other key looks. It's your party, wear all the frills you want to.

Opt for looks that are versatile; then, decide where you'll wear them closer to the date. A draped mini shirtdress that closes up at the neck for more traditional events and opens up to a plunge for nights out pairs well with a bootie for your shower or a strappy sandal for the bachelorette or your after-party.
