A white mini dress is a summer essential to have in your wardrobe.
“White has it all. Its beauty is absolute. It’s the perfect harmony” -Coco Chanel.
There are so many ways to style such a piece that in a way make it perfect for the beautiful tropical island weather.
Much like the little black dress, a little white dress is just as essential for your timeless wardrobe. The Wanderlust Mini by ILEANA is a perfect piece that is both chic and effortlessly cool. This sleeveless summer beauty is perfect for the tropics due to the fabric being 100% antique washed linen. It’s breathable and to help with the hot summer days, we have designed it with a back opening. The best thing is, IT HAS POCKETS with loop detailing. Who can say no, to a cute dress with pockets?
The Wanderlust Mini can be dressed up for a summer cocktail or dressed down for your weekend getaways. It is specially designed to suit island aesthetics and lifestyle and will be the most versatile dress in your collection.
Tip 1 for Cocktail Hour: Pair the Wanderlust Mini with a pair of brown/nude flats. Add a pair of gold statement earrings to jazz up the outfit. You can also opt in for a nude/brown bag to keep it clean or add a pop of colour with a funky clutch from your wardrobe.
Tip 2 for on your way to Down South: Pair the dress with a pair of brown sandals and a colourful kaftan or kimono to bring out the weekend vibes. You can then dress it up with a straw hat and a weekend bag (Brown, fabric made or embroidered) of your liking.
Tip 3 for the City Escape: On your days in and around your home city, the Wanderlust Mini can be paired with a denim jacket and white flats. The denim jacket will work to break the simplicity of the white. You can have fun with your accessories according to your mood for the day.
