If you’re stuck on what to wear this summer, I’ve just come across a chic, throw-on outfit formula that, based on my research, looks elegant on absolutely everyone. In a chic coincidence, I spotted two of the most stylish women I know—Daisy Edgar-Jones and Pamela Anderson—wearing almost the exact same summer ensemble, and I couldn’t help but notice that it also felt distinctly French.
Both started with an elegant foundation: a flowing white cotton dress. Daisy chose Dôen’s Adelaide Dress (£595), a longer-line embroidered style, while Pamela opted for a slightly shorter silhouette that still skimmed below the knee.
In another striking similarity, both styled woven white bandanas over their hair and accessorised with brown woven bags. While their shoe choices differed in colour, each swapped heels for elegant flat shoes.
A combination of easy elegance and relaxed femininity, the formula has subtle French energy to it. Polished, but not complicated, it’s lightweight and comfortable enough to wear through the warmest summer days.
So, if you’re looking for a throw-on outfit formula that always looks chic, keep scrolling to shop the look, along with my edit of the best white dresses and bandanas to recreate it.
