The Spring/Summer 2011 collections were filled with all white ensembles, from sweet lacy dresses, to sultry low cut blouses. This look definitely catches the eye, and is a bit of a shocker for those die hard fashionistas who swear by the little black dress….could it be the LBD has been usurped by the LWD?! GASP!
The look is so fresh and light and completely stunning, however, there are a few simple tricks in pulling this one off!
1) Invest in nude underwear! Bra, and thong…a must! Many of the slinky hot summer dresses are made of jersey or other clingy, sheer fabrics and are notoriously transparent! No rainbows please, this isn’t the time to try and go all SJP with a fuchsia bra strap! The look is simple and elegant for a reason..keep it classy!
2) Use some bronzer! Being a fair haired pasty princess myself, I know the woes of feeling too pale to pull off lighter palettes. While I am definitely a supporter of SPF 60 and all things anti-suntan, I must admit that these white styles look stunning against darker skin tones. For my fellow whiteys, get a spray tan, or brush on some bronzer…this is the perfect bronzed goddess look! Hello?…..why do you think Aphrodite wore the WHITE toga?
3) BE CONFIDENT! If you are going to wear an all white ensemble, you better have your shoulders back and your chest out! This look screams “look at me!” Unlike the LBD, white will draw light to you, and is ultimately NOT as slimming as black, so stand tall, and suck it in….and relish in your gorgeous angelic appearance!
Here are a few of my favourite all white looks!
Blake Lively KILLS it in this gorgeous Cavalli dress! The plunging back, and black side inserts are so hot!
Rhianna – White Pantsuit…other than the naval grazing blouse (LOVE), the Max Azria Pantsuit is completely functional for the office! This look is perfect for the boardroom, and then taking it to the club for some after work cocktails with the girls!
Who said Snow White was a good girl??
