White dresses, shorts, jeans, sneakers, flats, sandals, and everything — that’s what you often see in summer. Forget the old rule about not wearing white after Labor Day.
Last week, we showed you how to rock a white blazer with flat sandals 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 textured white midi skirt and a peach pink cropped top, two of this season’s top trends.

Which white-sandal style do you fancy here, Hanneli’s or Jacqueline’s?

Well, whichever you choose, know that you can rock them 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 complete the outfit with white platforms, sandals, and white-framed peepers. Keep the accessories minimal.
