White Beach Dresses

White beach dresses are the perfect summer dresses to wear on the shore. Not only are they light, airy, cute, and cooling, but they are incredibly romantic and, quite often, extremely flattering. Whether you're willing to experiment with more avant garde styles of white beach dresses or you just want to stick to the basics, this is one dress that you need to have hidden away in your closet for summer and winter vacations, as well as beach lounging.

Some of these styles are the most common in summer casual dress design. Which one will you choose?

• Mini Dress: The mini is a good beach dress if you need something similar to a cover-up. It's a no-fuss selection and one that's easy to pack into a beach bag as necessary. This style can also be worn out at night in a pinch.

• Maxi Dress: Going beach strolling in a gusty environment? The maxi dress is your friend. This style is easy to find online (and on sale), and you can find ones with defined waistlines for added shape, or with front button plackets to make changing easier.

• Shift Dress: Without zippers and other closures, this beach dress is easy to slip on and wear around the beach and town. By choosing one that hits at knee length, you are ensuring that you'll wear this piece often.

White is very easy to accessorize, but many people wonder what they should be wearing underneath. Here are some options to make sure that your white dress looks impeccable.

• Nude Panties: If you will not be swimming at the beach, or will be sticking to the boardwalk, you may want to select nude boy shorts to wear underneath your white beach dress. Not only are they undetectable, but a gust of wind won't ruin your day or leave you looking exposed, particularly if you choose a sporty style fashioned in microfiber.

• Swimsuit Tops and Bottoms: This can be tricky, but it's expected when you are strolling by the beach. If you are the type who is bothered by the "see through" effect, you can wear a solid-colored bikini in a medium to medium-dark tone like cocoa brown or deep gray, which won't show through half as much as that red string bikini! Be conscious of the line of the swimsuit itself, because you may find that your bikini bottom ties add unwanted lumps and bumps. Think smooth if you'll be wearing a more close-fitting beach dress.

• Shorts or a Halter Top: It's also not uncommon to toss on a more socially-acceptable layer after you've left the confines of the beach, and are going to dine ocean-side. If you remove your swimsuit, you might end up slipping into retro-inspired short beach jogging shorts or a short halter cover up. By selecting a loose or empire-waisted beach dress, you can disguise the lines of your shorts beneath, and a layered halter can look great if your beach dress happens to be a more casual style in a tank cut.

• Longer Skirts: If you hate feeling like your dress will blow up over your head at any moment, you can always go for a tiered effect. Simply wear a long white skirt with a drawstring waist under an empire-waisted, medium-length beach dress in the same fabric for a cool multi-layered effect. This also cuts down on see-through issues as they may arise.

Here are some of the top locations to buy your beach dress online.
