Dress type
First of all, it should be taken into account what type of garment we are talking about, since accessories will vary based on the style of the dress and the occasion on which we are going to use it.

- Nude or skin color: if what you want is to highlight the dress, opt for natural or nude colored shoes that go unnoticed.
- Boots, you can also get a more groundbreaking look by combining your dress with country style boots in brown or beige colors.

Another essential accessory for a woman is the bag, so you should carefully consider which one you combine with your white dress. In the same way as in the case of shoes, you should look for the one that best suits the occasion and your look.

Underwear
And something that you should choose very well for your white dress will be the underwear, since you will have to look for the most appropriate and try not to be marked or transparent.
