The Surefire Way to Make Your Winter Ensemble Look More Expensive
Is there anything more luxurious looking than a winter white outfit? This crisp, neutral hue has the ability to make every ensemble look seriously expensive. It may be cold and dreary out, but your outfit says, “I’m not giving in just yet” and looks undeniably chic. Not only does a winter white outfit look luxe, but it can also be an instant mood lifter—a welcome change to the black and grAy hues we’re so used to gravitating toward throughout the cold-weather season.
So how do you pull off the look? Steer away from your summer whites when it’s cold out (e.g., lace and linen dresses or eyelet blouses), and instead mix and match plush and cozy cold-weather fabrics and textures such as ribbed knits, shearling, cashmere, and denim. Have fun playing with different shades of white within your outfit or contrasting the crisp hue with accents of black or tan. Keep scrolling for some fashion girl–approved outfits that will inspire you to wear white this season. (Just be careful with that coffee!)
