Long a favourite warm weather colour choice, white is this season's must-have, whether you wear it head to toe or as an accessory. While some women might avoid white because of the "mess potential," wearing it can be easy if you follow a few tips from the experts.
Celebrity stylist
Jessica Paster, who works with A-list actresses, says, "White is a
refreshing change of pace from the dark colours we wear. It's just not
celebrities that can pull off wearing white, everyone can wear it, but the key
is knowing how to wear it well and avoid becoming a 'fashion don't.' "
Paster offers these
tips to infuse white into your wardrobe and look hot all year long:
Wear White Right
White reflects
light, so wherever you wear it, you will attract attention. Don't accentuate
parts of your body that you want to minimize by wearing white in that
particular area.
For example, if you
want to hide your hips, don't wear white pants or a skirt with a dark top
because the eye will be drawn to the bottom.
Instead, wear a
white top and dark pants. Accessorize with fun metallics or bold colours.
Beat the Heat
White dresses are
both fashionable and functional for warm weather and climates and they seem to
be everywhere. Buy one in a light fabric, with lace or eyelet detail to bring
out your feminine side on a scorching day. To make the outfit of the moment,
pair your dress with espadrilles, wedges or leather sandals.
Be Prepared
Although white
clothes are fashionable and cool, they can become messy and unflattering in an
instant with one slip of the hand. One way to make sure your whites stay white
is to carry a portable stain remover that works instantly to remove many food
and drink stains, in case of a fashion emergency.
Whether you're
going to work, running to the grocery store or going out to dinner, wearing
white can be easier than ever. As you're out shopping for key essentials, keep
in mind Paster's tips to look effortlessly chic and stay cool all year long, no
matter what the situation.
