Vogue.com have given us the following information on the white wash trend:

White is a perennial favourite but this season’s fun is to be had with shape, form and fabric.

“More than a blank canvas, white focuses the eye on form and line, and now runs the gamut from pure innocence to power dressing” – Emily Zak, acting executive fashion editor.

At the very least, a white shirt should be top of your shopping list.

SEQUIN DRESS

Olli says: “I love this dress. I think the high street has become a little TOO inundated with sequins recently. They can be a little lairy/tacky at times. I personally love them when they’re used subtly like this. I feel all aquatic and magical in it. Although, I’ll usually dirty up a look that’s too girly – hence the jacket and whopping great big platforms.”

If you like the style and after something slightly different, then check out our suggestions throughout this piece.

What we found

1. Dress £363: Antik Batik from farfetch.com 2. Jacket £519: Preen from fatfetch.com 3. Shoes £140: Ethel by KG at Kurt Geiger

SHOES

“These are my favourite shoes ever. They were a random find in Next of all places. I got them about 4 years ago, but they’re timelessly stylish and cool.  They go with everything and are stupidly comfortable. I can wear these all night and still skip all the way home. Plus they’re not super high like some of my other shoes – I’m pretty tall, so I can look scary in platforms!”

What we found

1. Lace top £75: Coast Stores 2. Harem pants £146: MCQ by Alexander McQueen at farfetch.com 3. Ankle boots £280: Amp at Kurt Geiger

VELVET CARDI

“I have a big obsession with velvet.  My mum wore a lot of velvet in the 90s, so I’ve stolen some of her goodies.  Velvet is such a gorgeous luxurious fabric.  It just adds something special to any outfit.  This is a cardi/jacket I recently found in a charity shop.  It sadly doesn’t photograph very well, but trust me – it’s glorious!  It has beading around the cuffs and seams.  Super lux baby!”

What we found

1. Military velvet jacket £198: Jigsaw 2. Leather drawstring skirt £425: Rick Owen at farfetch.com 3. Leather wrap skirt £559: Peachoo and Krejberg at farfetch.com 4. Studded heels £140: Katie-Jane KG at Kurt Geiger

PAT BUTCHER

“Now this cardi is a wonderful example of something being SO bad, that it HAS to be good. You have to wear it carefully, black tights and a black mini skirt is ideal – I’m not really into the ‘clashing prints’ vibe that’s popular at the moment. It’s another charity shop find – glorious to snuggle in, and I personally love rocking a bit of the Pat Butcher vibe.”

What we found

1. Flash Knit dress £90: French Connection 2. Shoe boots £90: Carvela Alicante at Kurt Geiger

SHIRT

“This shirt has lasted forever. I wear a lot of big baggy men’s shirts as dresses, or I’ll pair them with leggings. This is my favourite. It’s Ralph Lauren (and only a quid from ebay!), so it’s really good quality. It also looks cool worn open with a body-con dress, lot’s of gold jewellery and 80 Deniers.”

What we found

1. Men’s loud check shirt £55: Curlew at Boxfresh 2. Men’s military shirt: £60: Crossbill at Boxfresh 3. Velvet trim tux jacket £489: Jasmine Di Milo at my-wardrobe.com 4. Shoes £75: Layla at Faith

Good quality tights are really important for outfits like this so take a look at mytights.com for lots of different styles, including new in from Henry Holland.
