We all know the saying, “Don’t wear white after Labor Day,” and while this is certainly a Suggestion and not a Rulewe agree that an all-white outfit is the epitome of summer chic – it exudes elegance, simplicity, and femininity. Labor Day weekend is approaching, giving us a well-deserved Monday off to honor the achievements of workers and celebrate the last days of summer. It’s the perfect time to stock up on those essential white pieces before the season (and summer sales) are over.

Whether you’re on the East Coast spending the long weekend in Montauk (if so, don’t miss the sunset cocktails at Gurney’s—they’re heavenly) or escaping to a tropical destination like the Turks and Caicos or the Cayman Islands, we’ve rounded up the best pieces for the perfect all-white outfits so you can end summer in style. Below, you’ll find everything from flowy dresses to simple tees and comfy sneakers to mix and match depending on your weekend schedule. And while it’s bittersweet that summer is coming to an end, you’ll be happy to know that these versatile looks will still be in frequent use throughout the rest of the year.

Grapent Women’s Button-Down Romper

A romper is the perfect ensemble for late summer, and I’ve got my eye on this stunning (and almost sold out) one from BlankNYC; the unique design creates the illusion of a top and shorts when viewed from the front, and the all-white linen look exudes an air of sophistication while still feeling youthful and fresh. However, if you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, you can achieve a similar look with the Amazon-favorite Grapent Button-down Romper, which is an ideal late summer or vacation staple. Whether you’re heading to a boozy brunch where you can pair it with sandals and sunglasses, or a waterfront dinner with heels and statement jewelry, the styling possibilities are endless.

This white dress is a dream with its off-the-shoulder straps and poplin skirt that, when combined with the midi design, creates the perfect summer look. And did I mention it has pockets?

Madewell straight hem shirt

Madewell’s straight hem shirt is another classic that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
