White is the ultimate summer neutral tone, and this season, it's not only a great way to keep cool in the hot sunshine, but also the perfect way to come across as stylish and effortlessly classy. Whether we're talking bags, shirts, jeans or shoes, this summer, ice-white is a subtle and strong fashion statement. It's youthful, can be worn at any age, matches any complexion and can be worn with any color, marking it as a remarkably versatile and style-friendly tone. The white shirt, for example, is not the classic, masculine version of it, but rather a new and improved versions, made interesting by its edgycut, the voluminous sleeves and various feminine embellishments such as frills, ruffles, ribbons or bows.
White Works for All Occasions
We are also seeing a trend for special occasion white evening dresses. Celebrity Kathryn Heigl broke the fashion rules recently when she wore a Zac Posen, white, mermaid-tailed, denim gown to the 2007 Emmy Awards, sending the fashion world into a twitter.
White also works well on shoes & bags this summer, and in terms of smaller accessories, anything from a pair of white-rimmed sunglasses, watches, brooches and ivory cuff bracelets goes very well. Just keep in mind that wherever you go, white will make you look chic, cool, classy - and clean.
Not only are we seeing the standard sandals and sundresses in white, but watches are also going bianco. The clean, crisp look keeps contemporary timepieces looking fresh and classic.
