Hey there! Today I'm doing a (short) post on how to style the color white! This is the first post of another series I'm starting called Lets Style! The posts that belong to this series are meant to be shorter than my other fashion related blog posts. So if you ever need a few really quick tips on how to style things like colors, bags, different types of dresses, etc. you know where to find 'em!
Small History Lesson (on the color white):
White became a very fashionable color in the 18th century. Many upper class men around that time wore snow white stockings and wigs, and upper class women wore beautiful embroidered gowns and their nicest pastel dresses. As far as I know, that's when white really became a fashionable thing to wear.How to Style:
As I just mentioned white has been around for a very long time. Over the years we've seen a lot of things done with this popular color, and it's been styled in both simple and complex ways. From my knowledge of fashion, and my personal opinion, white and other neutral colors are on my list of some of the easiest colors to style. White goes with almost everything, so to make this post simple and small like I planned. Here are a few ways I like to style white and outfit ideas:
White/Neutral & White/jewelry: White on white and white on other neutral colors just looks so chic and simple. Adding dainty jewelry, small fake diamonds and fake pearls (unless you can afford real ones) with neutral colors make the outfit look more elegant.
White/Patterned & White/printed: White paired with printed or patterned clothing is something I love seeing. My favorite combinations are soft floral prints, small polka dots, thin stripes-the simple looking stuff.
In my opinion, while wearing white you can make it look however you want! My favorite white looks are elegant, crisp, soft, and chic ones.
