For the Office
It takes a little bit more\ncare and attention to pull the white-on-white style off at the office. For one,\nyou don\u2019t want to stand out at the office for the wrong reasons. And two, you\nwant to ensure that you maintain consistency with your office dress code. For\nthe typical business dress environment, you\u2019ll want to uphold a professional\nappearance by choosing blouses in refined materials such as silk. Pairing a\nsilk blouse with a full volume skirt at the appropriate length makes for a\nsophisticated style pairing. Keep accessories and shoes to a minimum and in\nlike colours. There\u2019s no need to be matchy-matchy, just ensure that your shoes\nand bag go together, as office environments typically value one being put\ntogether.

What you need to do now is look into your wardrobe and pull out the\nwhite pieces that you already have. Then mix and match them while laying them\non your bed or on the (clean!) floor. Think of the occasion you\u2019re dressing\nfor, put like fabrics together, and play around by trying on different\ncombinations with shoes and accessories. It\u2019s really as simple as that to\nachieve the white-on-white style. Are you brave enough to try the\nwhite-on-white look?
