White Goes on Trend in the Waning Days of Summer
If you know what’s good for you fashion-wise in the waning days of summer, when the sun shines a little bit softer, you’d start stocking up on crisp white fashion items. In the waning light, white is the perfect color to bring the blush back to your cheeks and shine to your hair. Most stylistas know that white is the perfect canvass for different fashion styles as well as accessories. And since it is literally a blank slate, you can combine styles to come up with unique fashion statements that can look soft and feminine or polished and strong.
- In fact, the most enduring fashion staple that has spanned decades is the classic white button-down shirt. Read any style book and it is mentioned as a must-have that can be worn under blazers, tucked into pencil skirts, and worn with jeans and heels. One reason the white shirt is so versatile is because the non-color matches any shade in your wardrobe. You can pull out any white fashion item and you’ll certainly find something that matches it quickly. This means, if you’re in a rush, white will save you time and have you looking crisp and polished in a snap.
- This is why designers will always find a reason to bring the white trend back more than twice a year. At one point Chanel even had different types of white going down the runway at different times of the year. Yes, there is more than one interpretation of white, from bone to winter white to bleached white. And the reason designers continue to covet white is: it is the best way to highlight elegance, structure, as well as softness. Nowhere is softness and airiness more obvious than in a simple, white asymmetric tee that you can wear with leggings or stonewashed denims.
- The LBD (little black dress) has been all that since the time of Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent. However, you can get tired of depending on a little black number to take you through your party days. When that happens, a LWD (little white dress) will give you a renewed sense of style that can be uplifting to your fashion spirits. You can choose to wear a tailored LWD to add a posh air to your style or a short flirty one to lighten up your fashion vibe.
- Donna Karan is one designer who uses a neutral hand with design. And it was 2 years back when she had models walking down runways in white-on-white. From the dress to the accessories, everything gleamed, white. If that makes you nervous because it brings back images of disastrous white-on-white epic prom night fails, don’t be. One secret to a dazzling white-on-white look is texture. The combination will give you a multi-dimensional look that will be easy yet interesting on the eyes.
- If an all-white-shirt is simply too plain for you but you’d still like to channel the crispness of white; you can choose to wear one with some black detailing. The stark combination of black and white is a classic that will never go out of style. The classic black and white button-down shirt can be worn with leggings and heels to play up its mannish qualities.
- The first thing that comes to mind when you think “white” would be the most enduring fashion staple of all time – the classic white v-necked tee . When you want to dress down but still look your best while out and about, this classic look with cut-off shorts and a long necklace is a cool yet timeless fashion statement.
So as the atmosphere changes and you experience a change of pace with summer winding down, white will put you in the mood to relax, and infuse your wardrobe with a clean and crisp element.
