This dress and bag color combination appears to have a luxurious Riviera vibe, yet I purchased it on sale.

      Certainly, while I may work in fashion, my summer wardrobe is as minimalistic as it gets—and that’s just how I prefer it. When the weather heats up, I have little tolerance for complicating my outfits. Instead, I rely on a few effortless styling strategies that ensure I step out feeling polished with minimal hassle. One of my all-time favorites? A white dress teamed with a simple tan handbag. It’s a classic combination I turn to repeatedly, and no matter how often I wear it, it always makes me feel instantly elegant. There’s something about the blend of soft, neutral tones that feels mature yet fresh, sophisticated yet simple. Just this week, I was reminded of the enduring charm of this combination when I saw actress Simone Ashley ambling through Rome in the same outfit. Her look radiated a relaxed sophistication, prompting me to ponder whether I should indulge in something similar, and with Amazon's Prime Day sale starting this week, the timing couldn’t be better. From airy white midi dresses to structured tote bags in warm tan shades, the Amazon Prime Day sale is filled with items that embody this polished and, for some reason, French-inspired aesthetic. Perhaps it’s how the colors work together without clashing—providing depth without the need for bold prints or excessive details—but this remains one of the most stylish ways to dress for summer, without a doubt. Scroll down to shop the most elegant white dresses and tan handbags to create this effortless summer look for yourself from the Amazon Prime Day sales below.
