A Fashion Showcase of Light, Bright, White Clothing!
Read on for an all-white sartorial showcase to help you pull off the cleanest of looks
It’s time to celebrate the brightest, most UV-ray-reflective color in the Crayola box: white! We’ve got a good friend of Neil’s, Sam Spector (a professional stylist who’s worked with stars like Daniel Radcliffe, Billy Eichner and, of course, Mr. P-H), sharing some recommendations in the men’s department. For women’s, it’s Logan Mahan, the reporter at Wondercade HQ who’s up on all things in the wide world of women’s fashion. (But keep in mind, anybody means any body — these pieces can be worn by one and all.)
MEN’S
Crochet Knit Tops
Lightweight, breathable and a touch retro-feeling, crochet shirts are perfect for a casual outfit this summer. Wear it on its own, or style it unbuttoned with a patterned shirt underneath. Or stick with the white-for-summer theme, and rock it with a plain white tee.

Rag & Bone Avery Jacquard Zuma Toweling Shirt
Wide-Leg Linen Trousers
When you’re looking for a fabric that’ll keep you cool in the heat, you can’t beat linen. This season, wide legs and relaxed fit, like the ones you see here, are the epitome of chic. Which means comfort is in.

H&M Relaxed Fit Linen Suit Pants
5-Inch Short Shorts
Short shorts may be the single biggest menswear trend at the moment, and for good reason: they keep you extra cool, and showing off a little extra leg is extra hot. Feel free to sing this to yourself and live it as your mantra this summer.

WOMEN’S
Sleeveless Tops
Dress it up, dress it down…however you wear a classic sleeveless top, you’ll definitely stay cool, and have ample opportunity to accessorize. Layer with a light cardigan or blazer for the office or a night out.

White Jeans
White denim will always be in style, especially during summer. You can keep your look extra clean by pairing other whites or neutrals, or bounce these jeans off a bright and vibrant top. (Though maybe don’t wear these to a barbecue.)

Summer Dresses
I mean — how can you not? Sundresses are nonnegotiables for summer fashion. All white can be a bit boring, so look for pieces like these which incorporate small patterns or textured treatments.
