Neutrals act as easy-to-wear anchors that ground any outfit. Yet, the very mention of wearing white comes with lengthy guidelines: from no white after Labour Day, to bans on white at weddings. Wearing white shouldn’t be complicated, but rather, easy and fun.
This season, instead of abiding by reasons not to wear white, incorporate this summer-friendly neutral into your wardrobe.
Take advantage of the natural reflective cooling ability of white clothing by opting for loose-fitted white tunics. Beyond channeling your inner hippy, these styles offer versatility, from acting as a beach cover up, to glamming up a pair of shorts for a night out.
White shoes are a yes in my books! Chunky white sandals have a mod vibe and are sure to put a fresh spin on any summer wardrobe. My pick? Try the classic Birkenstock in matte Arizona white for a more casual take on this
rule-breaking style.
Try replacing your quintessential boyfriend jeans with a white version. These bottoms pair easily with a casual denim shirt or a silky strappy tank to freshen up any classic outfit.
Put darker shades away and make white your new party colour. Opt for a white rendition of your favourite little black dress for a refreshing and seasonal update to your wardrobe. Ground the neutral in darker sandals or a lightweight jacket.
Wearing white isn’t limited to bright shades in lacey fabrics. Try white versions of fabrics and garment styles that are normally limited to darker colours. My favourites? Silk white shorts, denim coveralls and linen rompers.
