Happy Fri-YAY! I feel like this week has flown by (and I’m not complaining). Today’s topic is a request from one of my fabulous readers.
As temperatures start to creep up and flowers bloom, I have pretty much added white jeans to my weekly wardrobe. So the question is, can you wear white before Memorial Day?
First, let me start by saying all opinions are of my own. I am not the fashion police, and all my thoughts are subject to interpretation.
But, the answer is YES! Fashion breaks rules all the time, and that rule is beyond out of date. For me, once it hits above 55 degrees or the weather calls for it, I don’t care what month it is! The white pants will come out to play!
I am aware it is easier for me to “get away” with wearing white since I live in North Carolina. But, it doesn’t matter what geographic area you live in. Wearing white in all months can add a crisp, bright look if worn correctly. After all, the time of year shouldn’t dictate your wardrobe schedule.
How to Wear White
If you are still experiencing bipolar weather (New England, I’m looking at you), then you may want to subtly add white into your outfit mix. I would start with white jeans as a base, and pair it with a navy blazer, light jacket or darker colored top. You do not have to jump right into the pastel colors. If it is snowing in your state, then a flowered blouse with white pants probably wouldn’t make sense. Instead, you can wear it with a spring sweater, or your favorite flannel.
All White Outfit
If you are ready to take the plunge and wear an all white ensemble, here are 3 tips to make it flow this time of year!
- Layering is key in early spring. To balance out an all white outfit, layer with a denim jacket, cute cardigan or blazer!
- Add a pop of color! Whether it’s in your jewelry, shoes, or bag it will help break-up the look.
- Adding texture can help separate an all white look. Think ruffles, an eyelet top, thermal, and lace.
I enjoy wearing white pants with colorful tops, I think it makes the white really stand out. I also like to pair it with neutral tones, which is what I have done in pictures throughout.
At the end of the day babes, fashion is not fluid. It is open for interpretation. Do what makes you feel comfortable. Whether it’s white jeans and a darker top, or you’re ready to frolic in an all white dress, be YOU! And Smile, Darling!
