The Simple Way to Wear an All-White Outfit
There are certain fashion rules that we think should be broken. And one at the top of our list is any limit on wearing white. In our book, wearing white year-round is 100% okay. In fact, all-white outfits are one of the chicest iterations of monochrome dressing. We’ve noticed that fashion girls on the street style scene are huge fans of the look and have a few styling tricks up their sleeves to make it work.
First, try choosing pieces with different textures. If you’re wearing solid-white trousers, try pairing them with a sheer blouse. Next, layer different shades of white. Optic-white pants are the perfect complement to a cream top. Finally, let your accessories add some personality to your outfit. A cool belt or a statement bag in a vibrant color can liven it up.
Go on to see how fashion girls are styling all-white outfits, and then shop pieces inspired by their looks.
