Winter: the season when we love comparing our complexion to an aspirin tablet.
So how can you wear white in winter without feeling like you’re wearing one solid block of color?
Vary the textures
We’ve all been afraid of looking like a snowman when trying an all-white look…
So to avoid that, mix and match cuts and textures!
In keeping with Catwoman, faux leather is the major trend this season. And yes, faux leather also comes in white (beige / ecru), and we love it! Nevertheless, always prioritize quality faux-leather pieces.
To feel like you’re staying wrapped in your blanket all day, you can also opt for big, super-soft white or ecru knits.
Another ideal fabric to wear in white is denim.
For this, favor mom or boyfriend cuts to avoid the super-tight-jeans effect that says, “I overdid it on the Yule log during the holidays.”
Choose one white piece
You can vary the different shades of white or pair it with other complementary colors. We promise, we won’t suggest that you look like the French flag.
We recommend camel, ecru, and gray.
Don’t hesitate to accessorize your outfit for extra style!
A wide belt with a buckle, a bag with a gold chain, hoop earrings… Anything you can find to rival Lady Gaga will do the trick!
How do you care for white clothes?
Yes, white is great, but it’s less appealing when it turns yellow.
As Grandma used to say, “A splash of hydrogen peroxide and the job’s done!”
So let’s get started: soak your clothes in a mixture of hot water and hydrogen peroxide for a snow-white result (this method is a little slower but is recommended for delicate fabrics).
Otherwise, if you want to keep your laundry as bright white as a Colgate smile:
Soak it in a mixture of half white vinegar and half water, then wash everything in the machine (vodka doesn’t work).
In short, white is a color that can easily be worn in winter, even though we tend to think it’s mainly reserved for summer.
However, make sure to follow some of the guidelines we’ve mentioned to avoid a snowball effect.
