A Vision in Winter White
Jan 15th
Whoever said you can’t wear white after Labor Day must be pretty embarrassed. Winter white has plowed its way back into style with a vengeance. Thank goodness.. anyone else get a little teary-eyed putting away your white jeans? We are loving this trend, because the color itself IS the trend. Forget pieces, cuts, or looks that are trendy, but don’t flatter your look. You can still wear all your favorite looks, just try it in white! Poof! You’re wearing the latest trend. Now while white is known for symbolizing innocence and purity, it doesn’t have to be worn that way. There are endless ways to wear white to fit your style personality. Here are a few of our favorites!
Okay, so maybe sometimes white has a dreamlike fairytale feel. And if your style reflects the princess in you, winter white is your prince charming. The color is clean, crisp, and exudes a feel of class and grace. We especially love pairing white with other neutrals like cream or nude to emphasize this innocent style. Looking for a great versatile piece? A white peacoat is a great go-to to make any outfit sweet and refined. We also love the timeless simplicity of white lace for its undeniable femininity, or a white sweater for a polished, sophisticated style.
Sometimes you just can’t resist building a snowman, catching snowflakes on your tongue or taking a walk in the falling snow. But to have all the fun in the cold, bundling doesn’t always leave us feeling feminine. To feel cute in the winter wonderland, white pieces are a great option. A white down coat with a fur-trimmed hood a perfect way to get that cozy style. Disclaimer: we are not suggesting you should dress like a bunny. However, a great way to get the girl-next-door snow bunny look is to add a little fur. Even adding a fur scarf or fur-lined gloves with your white puffer coat adds a cozy lovable quality to your outerwear. And don’t forget your fuzzy white earmuffs!
Don’t worry. Elegant princess and cute snow bunny aren’t the only options white has to offer. If you prefer an edgier look, white certainly challenges the status quo. White leather is crisp and sharp, and we love the contrast it gives to classic winter pieces. Paring an edgy white leather jacket with a soft sweater is the epitome of opposites attract. Or even pair your favorite white sweaters with black leather pants for a unique stylish twist on this cozy winter top. Even easier? Pair your craziest shoes with your everyday skinnies and a simple white top, and you’ve got a great winter white outfit to suit distinctly you.
