The old adage never wear white after Labor Day is long gone, and with good riddance. White is great go-to color, all-year. Although it admittedly pops against a tan and darker complexion, it can still be luscious against pale skin that’s untouched by the sun. Whether you keep it to one item like a blazer, or rock it head-to-toe (a wool suit skirt perhaps?) – as long as you keep the material seasonally appropriate (i.e. don’t wear linen in the winter months of the East Coast) it works.
AnneLynne and Gwyn opted for longer boyfriend cuts, while Cameron’s has a shrunken feel. Regardless of where you live, Cameron’s look is nothing-but-perfection for cooler months with a loose black top underneath and her dark gray scarf. AnnaLynne’s blazer over her blush strapless cocktail dress is another perfect 10. And Gwyneth’s on-trend light-wash skinnies and white tee, perfectly pulled together with her white bf hits the mark. If you’re looking for one piece to update your signature style, taking you from day to night, the office to a night out - the white blazer is it.
Sarah Jessica Parker can do no wrong in my books… while some fashionistas criticize her casual UGG-loving day-wear as she walks seven year-old son James Wilkie to-and-from school in New York’s East Village, I love that she doesn’t feel the need to wear head-to-toe couture everyday (despite being named Halston Heritage’s Creative Director in January 2010). Even Victoria Beckham’s seen wearing the odd sweat pants and boyfriend jeans, but when these girls dress up: WOW.
Polka-dot hosiery are a popular look on the runway, celebrities and trend-setters across the globe. An instant update to your office skirt suit, or evening cocktail dress (hello Holidays…) – they’re a subtle detail that won’t go unnoticed. They’re tasteful and classy, think of them as the new fishnet.
Whether you opt for a mini SJP-style, short shorts à la Gwyneth, or a longer pencil-skirt style – polk-it-up.
