It is the garment that comes back every summer. The one we put on without thinking, which crosses the years without having a wrinkle. And this season, it is particularly essential in the collections of the creators, in the windows, in the vacation suitcases … and above all, in the Letizia cloakroom in Spain.
The brands have understood this, this timeless will undoubtedly be part of the summer hits. At Jil Sander, he worked long and sculptural. At Bottega Veneta, he becomes almost invisible, as he marries the forms. At Chloé, it floats, light, with transparency games. All have this same thing in common: they come back to a clear, clear, affirmed silhouette. It is a direct response to excess. Fewer prints, more lines. Less complication, more style. Day and night, he only asks one thing: to be accessorized in his own way. It modulates, it adapts. It can be wise or daring, depending on what we decide to do it. This essential fashion is none other than the white dress.
Letizia of Spain was not mistaken. On October 10, 2024, during the “National Culture” awards ceremony at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, she struck hard. By his side, King Felipe VI. On her, an immaculate dress with remarkable precision. Transparent in places, structured where it is necessary. A embroidered dress, marked at the waist, playing with the light. On the bust and knees, fine lace, almost second skin. Floral patterns added with meticulousness, without overload. To accompany him, sloping sling -on -he -legged heels.
And it was not the first time that she chose this piece to shine. In July, on an official visit to Oviedo, she had opted for a more minimalist, slightly flared version, carried with heeled sandals.
A few weeks later, during an outdoor event in Palma de Mallorca, she bet on a more romantic cup, with ball sleeves, with flat sandals and golden Creoles. Each time, the same strategy: a neutral garment, but never trivial. What changes is the cut, the material, the details and above all, the accessories. A structured bag, black glasses, a hairstyle taken with four pins and voila.
Long or short, straight or ample, in linen, cotton or English embroidery, the white dress is everywhere. In town, it is worn with moccasins and a rigid shopping bag. By the sea, she accompanies leather flip-flops and one-piece bathing jerseys. In the morning, it is simple. In the evening, she dresses with jewelry. To remember!
