Elegance hits differently when the dress is white. Even doors open without lifting a finger when the dress is white –who dares to shut the door in the face of the lady in white? Posh, pure and angelic crystal clean spotless is the identity as dignity and honour becomes a birthright when a woman boldly adorns herself in a white dress.
Boldly yes, because unlike men who make white outfits a classic item in their wardrobe, women shy away from white dresses for all the reasons they could find: maintenance and psychological balance. Their fear can’t exactly be faulted especially in this part of the world where the primitive myth of white attracting stains fills the mind quickly erasing the idea of picking up a white dress. Even brides who wear white wedding dresses ensure not to dine or wine carelessly – some brides don’t even eat anything till the wedding ceremony is done. Isn’t this one of the reasons a lot of brides now go for a change of dress after the religious ceremony and pronunciation of matrimony by the minister? They show up for the reception with ‘safe colours’.
Erase that premonition as a white dress like every other shade would get stained if there is a spill on it, even black wouldn’t feel as fresh when a stain drops on it.
Ever wondered why white is the established bride’s dress shade on a day that is regarded as the best in a woman’s life? This is because white is the only shade that not only bestows the perfect beauty but highlights your look in a glow that no other shade can reflect. You have to look perfect on your wedding and only white bestows a deserving perfection.
Simply put: white is heavenly beauty and in this year 2026 every woman should evolve from wearing a white dress only on their wedding day to a wardrobe top list especially on the day you want the spotlight to yourself or want to look like perfection. However, if the fear of how to keep a white dress spotlessly intact holds you back, here is how to keep it together.
How to keep your white dress spotless all day
Spotless Skin – Start with a spotless skin ensuring every nook and cranny of your body is clean without blemish so that if you sweat there is no stain. Of course, a roll-on is a necessity, preferably antiperspirant.
Make-up – Finish up with face makeup before wearing your dress.
Calm down and just breathe – Once you’re dressed and set out, do away with the paranoia of the shade of dress you’re wearing and relax to enjoy the sophistication that your dress embellishes on you.
Spick and Span ride – Ensure your means of transportation is in a clean state. No one should go out in a dirty vehicle in the first place even if you’re wearing black. Going out in a dirty vehicle is the same as going out wearing a filthy outfit so don’t not entertain it while wearing a white dress as the slighted touch on filth including a mucky vehicle seatbelt would stain your white dress.
Remember you look spectacular in white – the feeling of looking spectacular help you keep yourself together – no careless eating or drinking. Ensure to have a napkin around your neck and on your leg. That way, the spills drop on the napkins keeping your dress safe.
Carefully remove after eating.
Pairing Accessories to wear a white dress
. Since it’s not a wedding dress, always pair your major accessories especially shoes and handbags with darker or contrasting shade(s) of your choice.
. White underwear is your only choice especially if the fabric of your dress is translucent.
. Hairstyle must be properly put-together as the inherent purification make-up of white does not align with shabby or unkempt.
