With immaculate tailored suits, it’s no wonder why stars such as Eva Longoria , Victoria Beckham or Priyanka Chopra love wearing this season’s most austere, ultra feminine fashion trend. In all honesty, not many garments can play dual roles quite like that of a white suit. They are as powerful as they are delicate and so versatile that they can be worn beautifully day or night.
Perhaps inspired by one of the most iconic bridal looks in fashion—Bianca Jagger’s in the 70s—actresses, models and designers are promoting the monochromatic style with coordinated pieces in the entire spectrum of white as the new wildcard to be in the spotlight. After you read through this style guide, there’s no doubt you’ll want one for your closet.

Chic spirit
Tailored suits redefined women’s style in the 50s, and since then, they have never stopped evolving with trends. Eva Longoria shows us one with a notched lapel and single button that fits the measurements of every petite woman who wants to make an impact, just as she did with her power suit from the Cruise line by Alberta Ferretti.
Unexpected and fabulous
Victoria Beckham is another sartorial mood enthusiast who is a regular at fashion shows of Carolina Herrera, Ralph & Russo and Max Mara. Nevertheless, her strategy for personalization is to add cute touches—like the black floral bow tie—to accentuate the outfit’s elegance.
One of the most common looks at the spring-summer fashion shows was, in fact, the combination of neutral pants and jackets. Emily Ratajkowski chose XL silhouettes with maxi shoulder pads and a matching black crop top to give it that traditional Proenza Schouler touch of innovation.
Boss lady
If the matching sets have anything in common it’s their simplicity, which has even become boring for some women. But the other option are white sets with a bit of texture or print—like the one Priyanka Chopra chose—that are ideal for wearing to the office or to any event.
Minimalist
Apart from their intrinsic fresh nature, total looks in pure white, ivory or pearl easily bring us back to the minimalist aesthetic of the 90s. Clean lines, simple cuts and the perfect fit—like these slim pants and suit coat by Redemption— will be your best allies to radiate style.
Karlie Kloss, for her part, picked a champagne version of the classic women’s tuxedo. In this look, the structure, a much closer fit, highlights the figure without completely doing away with the masculine aspect, which is essential to creating contemporary looks. The top model boldly combined it with a semi–transparent, sensual white-thread blouse. A must try!
Superwoman
In reality, off-white suits don’t need any extras to make you shine. That’s because it’s the color that, by definition, reflects the most amount of light. Follow Camila Coelho’s lead and wear a design with deluxe details, complemented with a purse and shoes also in white.
New cocktail dress code
Influencers aren’t afraid to break some rules in fashion, wearing classic pieces that have been reinterpreted for this spring-summer. In this exercise in style, tailoring continues to be in vogue, even at night. The secret to doubling its power is to wear simple white suits.
Unique flair
Leaving neon colors aside—at least until further notice—the style guide that brings us to celebrities like Heidi Klum shows a preference for vintage, with a touch that could also be maximalist. How should it be worn? With a crisp white suit and a dramatic play on sizes in the lower half, as we can see with Christian Siriano’s.
Refined and on the cutting edge, it’s impossible to go wrong with white looks.
