White frocks, white shorts, white jeans, white sneakers, white flats, white sandals, white everything — that’s what you see a lot of in summer. Forget the fact that it’s not Labor Day. White is always a staple during the sunnier season.
Last week, we showed you how to rock a white blazer with flat strappies by pulling tips from Mena Suvari. Today, we’re taking cues on how you can style your chunky white platform sandals from fashion connoisseur Hanneli Mustaparta and British TV sweetheart Jacqueline Jossa.
The two were coincidentally spotted sporting such sandals on the same day last week. Hanneli, who was seen leaving Hotel Martinez in Cannes, wore her wooden-heeled pair with a simple long-sleeved, knee-length shift dress and matching white-framed cat-eye sunnies. The look was simple and minimal, but with high impact.

Headed to ITV Studios in London, Jacqueline Jossa from ‘EastEnders’ styled her chunky platform sandals with a few of this season’s top trends while — a textured midi skirt in pure white and a cropped top in peach pink. She finished the attire with a metallic blue shoulder bag. It was a copy-worthy ensemble that was feminine, cute, and fresh.

Which white-sandal style do you fancy here, Hanneli’s or Jacqueline’s?
Well, whichever you choose, do know that you can rock them both just as well as these two girls. To get Hanneli’s look, grab a simple high-neck white dress that ends right above your knees, and then finish with white platforms sandals and white-framed peepers. Keep the accessories minimal.

To achieve Jacqueline’s style, simply wear your platform sandals with a white midi skirt and a colorful crop top. Keep the jewelry simple, and then cap off your look with a light blue purse. Here’s a mix we’ve put together for you:
