How to Wear Winter White.

by scoop team | January 22, 2014

Remember that “no white after Labor Day” rule? Neither do we.

Winter white continues to be a huge trend this year- on runways, red carpets, and local stores. While white goes easily with any other color, and gives a sophisticated look to a neutral winter wardrobe, the freshest way to wear it is to dress in all different shades of white.

The trick to wearing white in the winter is to look for substantial textures like leather, tweeds, knits or fur.   Add bold accessories like gold jewelry or a printed clutch and consider dark red lipstick or a smoky eye.  Above all, avoid the michelin man look by NOT wearing a matching shade of white head-to-toe!

Make sure to check out 23 reasons why you should wear white this winter, as told by Scandal star Olivia Pope, and shop these local boutiques for wearing all white in the QC.
