Summer White Out

By Covetedclassics @covetedclassics

For those of you staunch\n\u201Cno white after Labour Day\u201D rule followers, your days of wearing white are\nnumbered for the year. Whether or not you abide by this rule, there\u2019s limited\nopportunity for us, as we enter into August, to take advantage of the time when\nwearing white is completely acceptable, let alone, wearing white completely\nfrom head-to-toe. When done right, the white-on-white style elevates even the\nmost basic of clothes and gives you an element of effortless chic to your\npersonal style.

For those of you staunch “no white after Labour Day” rule followers, your days of wearing white are numbered for the year. Whether or not you abide by this rule, there’s limited opportunity for us, as we enter into August, to take advantage of the time when wearing white is completely acceptable, let alone, wearing white completely from head-to-toe. When done right, the white-on-white style elevates even the most basic of clothes and gives you an element of effortless chic to your personal style.

For Brunch

White-on-white style can\ntake on many different forms, including casual. Think, high-top converse\nsneakers, loose camisoles and chunky knit sweaters. Here you can mix different\ncasual fabrics, such as denim and cable-knit cotton, to pull together the most\neffortlessly stylish brunch attire. The whole look is casual but purposeful -\nlike you just threw the outfit together and ended up looking magnificent (and that\u2019s\nexactly what we\u2019re going for here).

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.

For a Night Out

Here\u2019s where you can play\na bit more with color since you\u2019re out for a night of fun and there are no\nrules! Take a style risk by donning white completely\nfrom head-to-toe including shoes, bags, accessories, etc., or by integrating a\nvibrant, dramatic color. Things like a bright, matte shade of red lipstick\naccompanied by similarly painted nails may just be all the style \u201Caccessories\u201D\nyou need for your white out, night out.

One of the best things\nabout the white-on-white look is that you probably don\u2019t have to buy anything\nnew to pull it off. It\u2019s likely that you have a number of white tops, and at\nleast one white bottom \u2013 either white jeans, shorts or skirt \u2013 already in your\ncloset. 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?
