The color of purity, cleanliness and innocence is making a powerful presence this year. Head-to-toe white ensembles cascaded the spring ’11 runways, and even trickled into the fall '11 collections, giving the minimalistic approach to fashion, a fresh and modern twist.
An oh-so-easy style adjustment, this trend is simple to part-take in, by switching basic black pieces for equally flattering white versions. For example, swap that favorite LBD for an equally sexy white number and be sure to pick up some other wardrobe staples like a pair of white denims or a structured white suit.
The monochromatic head-to-toe color will elongate the figure, but, keep in mind that it’s still important to stick to silhouettes that also flatter one’s particular body shape and of course equally important to choose pieces that will correspond with personal style. The key is to keep things crisp and airy, while having fun mixing and matching different fabrics and textures.
