STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Highlight the White

Blinding, striking, vivid—clean white hues are peeking out among the fashion trends for spring. Often, something of a twist is added to the classic white to kick it up a notch. It could be in the form of various patterns or textures. Whatever it may be, this versatile white is going to be a highlight in my wardrobe this season. Are you ready to turn the spotlight on the white in your outfit?

Paired with a uniquely colored trench coat, the Fashionista’s white blouse with elaborate, ladylike details is enough to turn heads. Many of my white pieces tend to be casual, but the Fashionista’s white blouse here is dressy and fun at the same time. The adaptability of this top works well with the jeans and trench coat. This white is a great, fresh element when contrasted with the full color of the rest of the outfit.

The cool, minty elements of her shirt and blazer are contrasted by adding an oxblood colored bag and a pair of boots in a similar brownish-red shade. Her nail color matches well with the bag too, creating a color-coded wholeness to the look. Altogether, this standout outfit is perfect for the spring.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “You know those pieces of nice clothing that are at the back of your closet? Wear them. They might seem too out there or too formal, but try them out. Start once a month or once a week. As you integrate these pieces into your style, they become more normal. People tend to buy things they want to wear, but don’t have the guts to. So, experiment, have fun and get out there. This white blouse I’m wearing seems a bit formal, but nowadays I wear it like a T-shirt.”
