It is true that white is black’s paler, less slimming twin – but it won’t have you looking like a solemn widow. White is softer and prettier. It is a no-matching-required option for creating a super chic outfit!
It is no secret, however, that many women are afraid to wear white because it can be challenging to make white look flattering on your body.
Here are some ideas to help make white work for you.
Pretty Peplum
Peplum is figure-flattering and feminine because it cinches in at the waist, then floats away from the midsection – and it’s all the rage for Spring 2012.
I recommend a white peplum dress or pair a peplum blouse with cigarette pants or a pencil skirt.
Maxi Dresses
Maxi dresses are the most effortless and comfortable article of clothing you can wear. They elongate your silhouette and flow away from your body. A white maxi dress is an easy way to master the all-white look. Pair it with chunky wooden jewellery and you’ll look like a bohemian goddess.
The Androgynous Look
If frills and long dresses are not your thing, give the androgynous look a try. Pair wide-leg pants with a structured blazer or blouse. You’ll look crisp and confident in this classic combination.
So, try on white for a change!
You may be surprised with how chic you look when you switch over to the lighter, brighter side.
Always chic,
L.
