White About Now

There is always something so Italian chic about white clothes- perhaps it’s the supreme confidence that you have mastered espresso and wine consumption and now live a spill free life. But for most of us, every spring they show up in magazine spreads and every fall they wilt on sale racks. Yes, according to the fashion calendar, you shouldn’t wear them for another month, which is why now is the perfect time to buy. You can spend a few weeks testing out the look in your home before braving the world in white.

Express

Both casual and rock star at the same time, a white motorcycle jacket screams effortless style. I’d look for one in a lightweight fabric and use it to add a hard edge to classic dresses in my wardrobe.

Brooks Brothers

A colored button down or a chambray shirt and a wide leather belt would lend a white skirt a little bit of oomph. You can match your shoes to the belt or wear something multi-colored.

Levi's

White jeans are the epitome of coolness. I’d seek out a pair with minimal to no pocket detailing and add my monogram to one back pocket.
