LAYER WITH CONFIDENCE 

Layering is a stylish way to add depth and dimension to your white dresses. For a casual daytime look, throw on a lightweight denim jacket or a linen blazer. Layering not only adds visual interest but also allows you to adapt your outfit to changing weather conditions. As the temperature drops in the evening, layer up with a cosy cardigan to stay warm without sacrificing style.
