White after Labor Day? That’s a chic yes
With the possible exception of white denim shorts and white linen sundresses out of season, white is always welcome. Particularly in its many shades of warm creams, chalk-hued leather and taupe-toned vanillas. So now that it’s after Labor Day, here are the best ways to break the outdated rule that we need to place a moratorium on one of the loveliest shades in our closet.
Wear it with camel or tan, especially as an accessory. White with brown tones provides a natural, casual effect that soothes the eye. And I especially love it when the look brings in contrasting textures: heavy linen with soft cashmere, bags studded with wooden beading and creamy white silk with brown tortoiseshell shades — a la Ray-Ban’s light brown gradient RB2188 ($180 on ray-ban.com).
Ramp up the mod, graphic effect by pairing all white with all black, preferably with a pattern. Here’s one cultural ’60s reference that’s always cool, no matter which decade it happens to be right now. Bright white shines in pieces like the Retro Sixties Mod Contrast Circles A-Line Dress by Artform Designs ($42.58 on redbubble.com).
Make it an all-white look. Is anything more luxurious — one that says, “I actually lead a life in which it’s possible not to spill on myself or get dog hair on this pristine outfit?” The only way to make it even more luxe is to add a white cashmere turtleneck sweater. A terrific one: Aqua Cashmere Puff Sleeve Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater ($188 on bloomingdales.com) in Mohave.
A drop-dead gorgeous evening dress. No, you won’t look like you’re about to walk down the aisle; you’ll be radiant, simply elegant and confident as can be. The Gatsby dress ($428 on thereformation.com) is a floor-length, v-neck frock complete with a classic, alluring twist detail in front.
A crisp, classic, awe-inducing white button-down shirt. It’s the height of chic simplicity, and somehow just always looks right. A perfect example: The Japanese Oxford Square Shirt ($68 on everlane.com), with its cool boxy shape, wide cuffs, and split hem.
Transition your fave white summer dress into autumn with knee-high leather boots and a jacket to toss over. Or grab a new, fall-ready white dress with long sleeves in the Jersey Corset Dress ($240 on fenty.com), and pull some boots with bravado on top of with that.
