Shirt, £105
Whether you wear white or not, a white shirt should be a wardrobe staple. Style simply with a tailored trouser or layer under a fine knit

Trousers, £120
Finding the perfect white trousers can be like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. We suggestb that once you find a pair you like buy two, one to wear while their twin is being dry cleaned. This Reiss pair are perfect with a heel and crisp white shirt

Forget the connotations of wearing a white stiletto, this season they are the height of cool, spotted adorning the feet of the über stylish Carine Roitfeld and Kate Moss. Just remember the heel needs to be square and the legs bare

Coat, £79
Clean lines and pure white shout chic. Perfect for a spring day or adding a touch of glamour to an evening look. Enlighten your wardrobe with a white coat. A word of advice, invest in a good-quality fabric- white can be very unforgiving
