Winter white, with its warm undertones, (think ivory, antique white, or cream) is a gorgeous option for the colder months. It pairs well with all colors, has an air of luxury, and is often more flattering than stark summer white. Afraid that white is too high maintenance in the winter? Here are some practical, on-trend ways to wear winter white…
Textured Sweaters
A textured sweater (like a cable knit) looks beautiful in winter white as you can really see the details. If you’re buying something new, make sure you read the care instructions first. Look for textured sweaters that are easy for you to wash i.e. if dry cleaning is not a part of your regular routine, then don’t buy items that can’t be washed at home. I also save my white sweaters for occasions when I’m unlikely to end up with a stain or spill.
I’m wearing the Calda Sweater Tunic from Banana Republic with velvet leggings and these Chelsea boots. Combine heavy textures with smooth ones like velvet, silk, or leather. Faux leather pants would look gorgeous with a textured sweater.
Sweater Vests And Puffer Vests
If you’re worried about getting your sleeves dirty, then try a winter white sweater vest. This Cotton Sweater Vest is simple and clean. Wear it over your favorite button-down shirt and wide leg pants.
Prefer a texture? Then, take a look at this Patchwork Sweater Vest.
For a more casual look, wear a winter white puffer vest with jeans or leggings.
This Hybrid Puffer Vest in Gardenia White is a classic style with a flattering curved hem.
Anorak’s Packable Down Puffer Vest has a detachable hood.
Shirts And Shackets
Winter white flannel shirts and shackets are a fresh change from the plaid flannels that we see in the last quarter of the year. Mine is actually a heavier wool-blend shacket (from a few years ago) but a cotton flannel shacket would create a similar look.
Leather Accessories
There’s something about leather accessories in winter white that just look luxe!
I love this Tory Burch Miller Mini Bag in New Ivory. Take a look at the beautiful strap!
For something more casual, try this Snapshot Bag in New Cloud Multi. It’s a classic handbag that you can use now and later.
White leather needs a little extra care so you may want to use a protective spray and have a leather cleaner on hand.
If you want a low maintenance winter white collection, avoid coats, shoes, dresses and full length pants. Sweaters, vests, shackets, winter accessiores and smooth leather are a little easier to keep clean. Let me know which one of these you’d buy in winter white…
