There's been a lot of talk about colour blocking this past season & for everyone who's loving it, don't throw out your clashing clothes yet! This trend is set to continue into the new season however you may want to make room for another colour in your wardrobe.. That colour is white!

Maybe it's the recent wedding fever, for weeks we've been salivating over the lace appliqué & beaded embroidery on the gowns of Mrs. Crouch, Mrs. Hince & of course The Duchess, but whatever the reason, white is the colour of choice this season! From the Resort offerings of Lanvin, Carolina Herrera & Elie Tahari to the Couture offerings from Givenchy, Stephane Rolland & Giambattista Valli, every designer worth their salt has featured the LWD in their Fall collection.

To create this look think more babe than bride! Blake Lively (pictured above), Naomi Campbell and Rihanna have already debuted their LWD looks using crochet cut-outs, sheer fabrics and playing with hem lines but if you don't dare to bare quite as much why not try white separates? A sheer top with a nude bra underneath teamed with lace detail shorts will give a respectable nod to the trend as will a Broderie Anglaise style mini dress or a long white dress with a plunging neckline for an extra boost of sexy! Check out some of our high street favs below! :)                                                     xo TBC
