The White Stuff

It’s Summer Whites Season!  While white as a fashion color has been finally accepted in the year-round color scheme, you can just never go wrong with white in summer.  White is the quintessential color of summer.  Blues and greens, corals and pinks and yellows are all great colors during the hot summer days, but nothing screams summertime like white.  Crisp white summer dresses, stylish white summer suits, nautical white linen summer pants or long elegant white gowns.  All are gorgeous and all of them can make you look tanned, sleek and chic on a hot summer day, no matter what you are doing.

Celebrities have taken the white seasonal staple and rocked the red-carpet events as well as everyday activities looking cool and collected in summery white ensembles.

Daytime whites can be stylish and comfortable with the classic shift dress.  Stay minimalist with a straight dress of crisp cotton or linen or go for a more loose and light version with softer fabrics, body shaping curves and ruffles, ribbons and eyelet.  Go for a dress that shows a little more leg is you have great tanned gams or an empire-waisted dress that flows away from trouble spots and brings attention to décolletage and fantastically bronzed shoulders.

If you want to be even more comfortable and cool, try a white maxi-dress.  They have become a go-to fashion basic with easy fits and universally flattering silhouettes.  The longer length skirt is great when you’re on the go or for work-to-evening transitions.

Do dresses make you cringe, whether long or short?  No matter.  The archetypal white pant is for you.  Choose a fabric which matches your mood and activity from skinny white jeans to loose white linen or cotton pants.  Sleek white satin pants will turn heads at your next dinner party and shimmery palazzo pants are turning up on chic women everywhere.  Don’t overlook the possibility of white capris and shorts, too.  They are so simple to match and accessorize with replica handbags that you’ll want one of each!

Formal occasions call for more formal summer wear, and white works for night, too.  Take a fashion hint from these style divas and wear a body-hugging elegant white gown with a pop of color at the neck and wrist via statement jewelry.  A simple white strappy sandal or crystal-clad sandal along with a stellar updo will add to the fresh and ultra-elegant head to toe look.
