You have probably been invited to an all white party, and you need to stand out. Or maybe since it’s summer you want to look bright and feel light. Rocking all white outfits is no easy feat, all white outfits are easier to pull off than you may think. These are just some things to consider when you’re putting together an all white look.
1. Be Confident.
The first tip for how to wear an all white outfit is to have confidence. Put to rest all those silly rules about when and where you should wear white. Just have fun with your look and don’t be afraid to experiment with an all white outfit. Take inspiration from your favourite celebrities, designer runways, and style bloggers and use their outfits as a guide for how to pull off the all-white look.
2. Try Different Textures.
Want to make this monochromatic look anything but boring? Mix and match textures. Mix a white jean with a tank top and knit kimono for an all-white take on casualwear. The varying fabrics add style while keeping with the sophistication of the monochromatic look.
3. Layers.
Kind of like the tip on texture, layering your white clothes will help add depth to your overall look. Wear a cropped jacket over a long-line tank and skirt or maybe wear a long coat over a top and jeans. Being thoughtful with layers and balance is also another way to show off your styling know-how.
4. Matching Sets.
An easy way to put together a head-to-toe white outfit is to invest in matching pieces. Right now, tuxedos are pretty on-trend. A matching blazer and pants combination is a chic take on modern evening wear. Create the effect of a plunging neckline by wearing a lacy camisole or bralet under your blazer. During the day, try a structured blazer with tailored shorts or a pencil skirt.
5. Break It Up With Accessories.
Accessories are gifts from the gods to make us feel special and show ourselves love. I made that up, but it sounds true, doesn’t it? But seriously, accessories make or break an outfit. Let white attire be the backdrop and create art with accessories. Add a boho necklace to keep it beachy or try dainty pieces for an understated look that lets you be the focal point.
6. Statement Pieces.
If putting together lots of different pieces of clothing seems a bit too much, try investing in one statement piece like a white maxi dress or palazzo pants. That way you can just slip them on and already have most of your all white outfit sorted.
7. Shape.
Keep your all white outfits looking smart and stylish by creating a sense of structure and shape. If you’re wearing voluminous pieces on the lower half of your body, keep the top half fitted or tucked in. Cinch in shapeless dresses with a belt or by using a structured blazer. If you’re wearing tight pants, balance out your look by wearing oversized tops or jackets. Creating a noticeable shape or silhouette will help keep your all white outfit at the height of chic.
8. Match Your Whites.
There is more than one shade of white: Winter white, ivory and many more tones, but they don’t always compliment each other. Whenever you’re rocking a monochromatic ensemble, keep the tones in mind. You can mix shades but let your eye be the deciding factor. Be mindful of how your whites work together.
9. Add In Neutrals.
All white (including shoes, bag, nails) can be a little daunting. I mean, how are you going to stay clean and live life in an outfit that’s a magnet for dirt? Not sure which shoes to pair with your white attire? Nude or silver pumps act as a neutral and still preserve the monochromatic style.
10. Do Your Hair And Makeup.
The amazing thing about this trend is that it puts the focus on you. Go fun and trendy with a bright lip, sleek with a metallic eyeliner, or go with matte makeup and keep it neutral and natural to highlight just how fabulous you are.
