White after labor day? Heck yes!
Although it’s tempting to try to wear that flirty white sundress just one more time, avoid this urge. It is totally okay to wear white after Labor Day, but you must first consider the style of your outfit. Lovely white jeans? Oh yes! Light white dresses? Not so much. Save ‘em for next year, girls. Toss out your light, white fabrics in favor for some heavier ones, such as wool or denim. These fabrics will have you keeping up with the cooler weather while debuting this new trend. What’s better than looking your best and feeling oh-so-chic? Nothing that I can think of…except maybe diamonds!
Whites are like snowflakes; no two are the same. There are so many different shades of white, so what’s a girl to do? In order to find the most flattering shade for your complexion, assess your skin tone and be honest with yourself. For example, if you are super pale, you should avoid stark whites in favor for some enchanting off-white shades. Ivory and cream are awesome options. In fact, these shades are more subtle while still keeping you looking fresh. On the other hand, if you still have a slight summer glow or a naturally darker complexion, wearing a bright white will look radiant on you! Play around with different shades of white, but don’t feel compelled to wear the basic winter white.
To achieve the full oomph of this look, you’ve got to be willing to give it your all, ladies! Let’s leave the sissies behind and break this rule with confidence. To get the most out of this style, glam is the name of the game. Accessories combined with winter white is a stunning combo. Bangles and big, gold hoop earrings will really compliment the light tone of your white outfit while giving it a little extra pizzazz. Animal prints work really well too and will definitely make you the center of attention. Try a dark belt to break up an all white look and give a focal point to your outfit. A colorful scarf can be set dramatically against a white backdrop and show off your pretty face. Be a radiant style rebel!
In trying a risky trend, it’s best to have one “go to” item in your wardrobe which you can mix and match. For this fall, I advise a snazzy pair of white jeans. No worries — white jeans really show off feminine curves and can even hide trouble spots! Avoid overly tight jeans or jeans that give you awkward gaps. Fitted but not tight is definitely the way to go. Boot leg or flared bottom jeans are really flirty too.
Let’s recap: White CAN be worn after Labor Day, it’s just a matter of how you wear it. In order to stay on top of this trend, you should look for heavier fabrics, off white shades, amazing accessories, and a great pair of white jeans! Don’t forget to wear this look with confidence. After all, being bad and breaking rules has never felt this good!
