Ask a Stylist

With Emily Current and Meritt Elliott

A: We’re seeing the head-to-toe white look everywhere and are happy to report that the trend is much easier to execute than you might think. We have two simple formulas to make this monochromatic ensemble feel refreshingly cool, so cleanse your palette and listen up!

Styling Tip #1: Pure and Simple
Mixing in soft creams and camel pieces with your otherwise white outfit will keep your look light and airy in a very South Hampton kind of way. To ensure your outfit doesn’t feel one-note, play with texture; mixing cashmeres,silks, and lightweight leathers will make your white look feel luxe and lovely.

Styling Tip #2: Polar Opposites
​Break up your crisp white look with blackaccents. A cool black tee or blouse against a white blazer and white skinny jeans is undeniably chic. If you prefer to keep a majority of your outfit white–perhaps with a white tee and trouser–you can add an edgy black shoe and handbag instead. Accessory buffs should try integrating some black necklaces, bracelets, or rings for extra intrigue. Leather, dark metals, or onyx stones can achieve the perfect amount of contrast.
