How to wear Winter Whites

Winter white has always been a favorite of mine… probably because black is such a staple in my closet and every once in a while I just need a clean break. It seems every year white has a resurgence and is the hot new trend for winter. Why do we gravitate towards white? Probably because it feels fresh and relieves us from the grey days that are certainly ahead.

A few years ago I recall seeing a mix of camels and beiges and just thinking “Wow, how chic! I want to be that sophisticated and cool!” Well, I don’t think I pulled off the sophisticated and cool, but I definitely am aiming for more winter whites in my closet, especially now that I can wear camel! I saw the set below in the Wall Street Journal and fell in love with it… although most items are a little pricey; but, it provides some great inspiration. The interesting article led me to look up Vanessa Traina’s outfit, a gorgeous dresser who epitomizes a sleek minimalistic style that I aspire to one day. She looks fabulously elegant. For now, I’ll keep dreaming of my future looks and building a wardrobe towards obtaining them.

Any dream looks for you this fall/ winter?

    Very pretty! Winter white (or anytime white) isn’t on my radar right now. I’ve got a house of littles and my white would be grape jellied in seconds. I look forward to the days when white can be a part of my wardrobe again!

    Very pretty!! I abandoned the whole “don’t wear white after Labor Day” mantra years ago, It’s beautiful!

    That’s an excellent point… except it’s not the kids I worry about. It’s me, I’m definitely an accident waiting to happen.

    Great post, I think that white can be tricky sometimes, for me its important to keep a balance with other colours - camel is great! Hugs :) Beata
