When it comes to summer staples, it’s my “whites” that are most essential. From my favorite little white dresses (this one and this one) and crisp button-up shirts to a lineup of white denim, the color (or lack thereof) takes up the most real estate in my closet during the summer months.

Sure, you can wear white any time of the year (no rules!) but there’s something especially festive about an all white ensemble during the summer season. Whether it’s a white mini paired with barely-there sandals or a pair of high-waisted trousers and a coordinating top à la this Staud set, you simply can’t go wrong with head-to-toe white. Bonus: this kind of a look offers a blank canvas, primed to go with just about any warm-weather accessory, in any color – think: bold, gold jewelry, statement handbags, and more.

Ready for your monochromatic moment? Saks has everything you need to refresh your whites this season. Below, a peek at my favorites for a stylish summer ahead.
