White is the season favorite!


Forget your go-to all-black ensemble—this season, we're leaning toward the other end of the color spectrum. That's right, it's time to break out your whites (if you haven't already). And while we love a good contrasting color combo, there's nothing chicer than going monochromatic. Here, three ways to make an all-white get-up work for you...without looking like a nurse, doctor, or any variety of medical professional.

Stick to the basics. A white shift dress paired with an oversized blazer is just about the easiest combo to throw on in the morning, and yet, it looks just about as fresh and fashion-forward as any complicated mixed-print outfit. We love the idea of wearing simple black sandals like Camila O. (above left), but you could also go with pumps, flats, or even your favorite sneaks. Just make sure you use a steamer or iron—wrinkles can be super noticeable on white.
Add an accent color. Nothing makes a monochromatic look pop like the addition of a contrasting hue. Britt W. (above middle) added a red heel and lip to her white separates, and the result is the perfect mix of retro and modern. White goes with just about anything, so feel free to get creative—you can even swap a bold color for a bold print.
Break it up. Can we just say that Alyssa L.'s (above right) whole outfit is just genius? The key is the leather jacket tied around her waist. It's not only a great way to break up an all-white ensemble, but it also adds the perfect touch of edge to an otherwise preppy look. Obviously, we're big fans of the whole socks-and-sandals thing, so she gets major style points for that as well.
