While your mother might have given you the style rule that white is only worn between Memorial Day and Labor Day, it’s safe to say we’re throwing fashion “rules” out the window in 2018. If you are too, there’s a good chance that you’ll want to know what shoes to wear with a white dress when the occasion calls for it.
Even when you aren’t about to take a walk down the aisle, sporting a white dress is a major statement.
