February 27, 2015
Everyone knows the rule of not wearing white after Labor Day, but who said rules can’t be broken? White is making its way back to the runways and streets. It is a popular color among bloggers and fashion editors alike. When the summer tan goes away, there are still ways to mix white into one’s daily wardrobe. With a hint of this endearing hue, the winter sadness is sure to be gone.
From a trace of white denim to a complete monochrome outfit, there is an abundance of opportunities when working with white garments. Monochrome outfits elongate a look and by sprinkling in a few accessories, your look will be a spotlight sensation.
If heading to the city, combine white denim beside a gray sweater and statement necklace to create a sophisticated, yet playful appearance. Learning to mix the different hues from pearl white to cream has allowed variation of timeless possibilities.
One can never go wrong accessorizing with a fur coat. Season after season, white is seen on runways from the most prestigious designers to fast fashion retailers and fur is the perfect texture to add to a daily wardrobe. Silk sweaters matched with ivory jeans can make a key pairing for a Saturday afternoon.
Learning how to perfect this look can be difficult after Labor Day, but there are many locations to purchase key items throughout the year. Inexpensive pieces can be found in stores like Zara and Forever 21, but if one is looking for a step up, Nordstrom is the place.
An important recommendation that fashionistas everywhere have learned to follow is to rock your own style. Stepping out in an essential garment following the latest trend will have everyone curious, so throw the rule book out the window and step out in elegant white this winter.
