Beyond Summer: How to Wear White Fashionably in February
While Pantone's colour of the year, Cloud Dancer, might evoke thoughts of summer, this soft, airy white is far from just a seasonal trend. In fact, integrating quietly chic shades of white into your February wardrobe can feel brilliantly uplifting amidst the sea of dark winter tones. Here are some easy and stylish ways to incorporate white into your outfits during the colder months.
Styling Tips for White in Winter
Keep it Simple: Pair dark denims with a long statement white coat or blazer, draped over a cashmere knit and accessorised with a long pendant for a polished look.
Embrace Animal Print: For an instant edge, style a white coat or jacket with a clutch or boots in snakeskin, leopard, or deer print to add contrast and flair.
Think Smart Layering: A white roll-neck worn beneath a shirt or blazer not only softens tailoring but also provides extra cosiness during chilly days.
Try White Denims: White or off-white denims are surprisingly versatile at this time of year. Wear them with black, navy, or grey knitwear for a modern twist.
Play with Texture: Mix white tailored trousers with suede, leather, or shearling to avoid flatness and add depth to your winter ensembles.
Upgrade Your Outerwear: Give your coat a glow-up with white accessories, such as a cashmere beanie or leather gloves, to elevate your overall style.
Experiment with Tassels: Try the new micro trend by incorporating a white tasselled silk scarf layered over dresses or tops, or wear it as a belt for added texture.
Add a Shrobe: Drape a soft white knit over your shoulders to give extra style points to your coats, jackets, and winter tops.
Start Spring Early: Pair white with the new season's It-colours, like olive green, banana yellow, and light or royal blues, for a fresh and vibrant look.
Go All White: Wearing white from top to toe is the ultimate in chic. For depth, mix fabrics by layering white wools over satin and silk trousers or skirts, and finish with bold gold or silver jewellery.
