How To Wear White During Cooler Months

“No white after Labor Day?….Never!”

Cooler days are now upon us! What does this mean for all the wonderful summer pieces? You didn’t get to strut in them due to the COVID. Now, most of those lightweight airy pieces have to move over. They will make way for the heavier, structured layers. But, don’t pack away all of your white garments just yet! I’m going to show you how to wear them through the cooler months. Not sure? Continue reading and I’ll tell you how.

There are no rules in fashion

White after Labor Day is no longer considered a faux paux. Actually, this has been the case for many years now. Still, many will consider it to be a fashion no, no. So, I’m here to show you how you can totally pull off wearing white all year round. To start, you need to know the color combos that work together. Also, understanding appropriate layering techniques is essential. You will find that proper layering can take your look to new heights.

Ways to incorporate white into your Fall/Winter wardrobe

Wear a cute black faux leather jacket over an all-white ensemble. Add accessories like a black belt, black booties, or pumps. Another great way to incorporate white all year can be with your outerwear. It’s a sure statement piece to have a white wool coat, or leather moto-jacket in your wardrobe. This is a great step for those who are uncomfortable being a little more bold. Try wearing white pants, skirts, or shoes. Nevertheless, pulling off white all year requires understanding fabric and shade choices. There are specific fabrics and shades of white that suit the fall and winter months better. A bright white linen co-ord will not suffice if you’re not lounging on the sandy beaches in the Maldives. The fabric will not suit colder climates and look out of place. First, the freezing temps will cut through your linen like the iceberg on the Titanic. Lastly, it just looks plain awkward.

For more confirmation that white in cooler months can be stylish and appealing, I’ve highlighted two of my favorite bloggers. They have recently showcased their impeccable style while wearing head-to-toe white. First, there’s Jenee Naylor from High Low Luxxe.

Jenee is shown here wearing a beautiful white wrap dress. It is a closet staple. She pairs it with lovely bone-colored boots and a lovely bag. This bag is also a part of her collection with Amazon. Jenee shows how simple it is to wear white in cooler temps. She also displays how to effortlessly pull it off. Check out her new collection with Amazon here.

Last but certainly not least, here’s Camille who has a blog called Guilty of Glitz. She is strutting head-to-toe white as well with one if my favorite color combinations. White pants work well in cooler weather. Pair them with a white sweater or turtleneck top to effectively incorporate a light color. Check out her blog for more great looks!

In closing, you don’t have to be a fashion expert to wear white well. Just simply know what works for you. Fashion is all about expressing oneself through personal style. There are truly no rules in fashion other than to just be confident. Confidence is a key factor! Never limit your own style by adhering to rules that don’t exist. For those who will rock white all year, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. For those who are still unsure, maybe this will help you get comfortable with the thought.
