PWhose clothes symbolize Summer as thelace dress. Whitein Sangallo, voile or cotton: the must-have for the summer, which enhances the tan and can be worn by day and by night. Holiday piece par excellence, from the coves of Ibiza to promenades of the Côte d’Azur: but also an elegant accomplice of the return to the city.
This season, the white dress worked is more versatile than ever. And it also takes to the asphalt, at least until the beginning of Autumn: word of the catwalks.
Where have we seen it
Embroidered with allover floral textures, artisanal at least in taste, often distinguished by airy sleeves and generous lengths. Folkloristic, so much so that we forget we own it except when packing our bags: and this says a lot. From now on, that won’t be the case anymore; and the credit goes above all to the stylists, who have cleared the white lace dress on the catwalks of the season combined in the most disparate ways.

Everyone agrees on the model, floating, romantic in the details but never sliced, ceremonious enough – even if someone could also choose it as a wedding dress, consider the features. Just like the model signed by the American designer Adam Lippes, a contemporary classic in terms of cut and shape. Slightly veiled thanks to layers of tulle, wide enough to adapt to the sun, basic for purity of lines: a simple dress to find in the marketsin the low cost lines, or artisan Made in Italy.

How to match the white lace dress in the city
Once the characteristic model has been recovered from the luggage, rather than forgetting it in the laundry for months, the advice is to experiment with it in the homecoming day looks. The tip, pair it with a seasonal jacketsuch as a beige trench coat or an oversized blazer: the length of the outerwear must be in line with that of the dress, to avoid messy looks and maintain formal composure.
On the feet, rather than slippers, flat sandals or strappy summer sandals, in the city dust off the mythical matching Friulianforcefully back in fashion from north to south of the Peninsula: just i velvet loafers seasonless, by osmosis, they make the white lace dress versatile. Be careful betting on a dark colourwhich stands out in contrast, emphasizing the worked hems of the dress.
