In the world of fashion, it is all about risks, and as stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe said “fashion rules are meant to be broken”. In recent seasons, it has become trendy and trendier to break one of the most commonly known fashion taboos: no white after Labor Day. Fashion and style are a means of self-expression and individuality; how is one supposed to express him or herself if an entire color is permitted for more than half the year?
Bringing white into one’s wardrobe year around is a fun, chic way to make an average cold weather outfit stand out from the crowd. Handfuls of designers, celebrities, and fashionistas have long bid farewell to this antiquated rule of no white. By choosing the right material—steer away from summer fabrics such as seersucker and linen—you add a fresh, crisp feel to any look whether it be a pair of paints, an oversized sweater, or an accessory.
If there is one rule of fashion, it is that there rules are no rules (within reason). If you miss your favorite pair of white skinny jeans in the middle of November, wear them! By pairing such an item other pieces like a flannel button down or killer jacket, you can easily transition your white clothing to become a staple in your wardrobe no matter the month! Stick to your style, and either way you are sure to make a statement.
