It's Quite All White!

     This season everything pales in comparison to white!  The crisp color perks up days and nights.  Shop Summer's white hot looks below.

If white is the new black, then no wardrobe is complete without a LWD (little white dress).  These snowy frocks are remarkably versatile- an almost literal blank canvass upon which to build your look. You can prevent a mostly white outfit from looking too sterile by embellishing it with an assortment of extras.  For instance, you can elevate your look with bold bangles and a beige bag.

Complete Your Look

White Shoes
A little white lie is that white shoes are tacky. Not so: in fact, the right white shoes look even cooler than black ones in creating a monotone, not monotonous look.  Opt for strappy and sleek heels, but steer clear of anything even vaguely orthopedic looking.  Pale pink or nude pedicures are especially befitting this season's fashionable white footwear.

White Bag
A snowy purse is the sartorial equivalent of an exclamation point.  Unlike a dark version, which blends, white draws the eye and punches up your look.

White Shades
White framed sunglasses have been big since the 1950s, when Grace Kelly popularized the cat's eye.  To balance graphic shades, pair a bright lipstick.  Colors that are juicy and impactful, such as red, hot pink, or bold violet look beautiful juxtaposed with white.

Biker Chic: Cool Moto Jackets


BCBG

A gorgeous motorcycle jacket is a total game-changer and a cool accessory that you'll wear over and over again. 

Wear it to work.
On first thought a biker-inspired leather jacket has no place in the office, right? Wrong! Throw it over the most classic work-appropriate outfit (pencil skirt and crisp button down) to toughen up your commute.  Or if your office is ultra conservative wear the knit style below for a more reserved look with quilted wool and modest leather detailing.

Wear it on the weekend.
This is the perfect topper for kicking around on the weekend. Pair it with casual cuffed pants, a sweater and low heeled booties.  A fancy clutch and a motorcycle jacket makes this ensemble seem like a thoroughly planned out look.

Wear it in between seasons.
A motorcycle jacket is the perfect way to transition your summer dresses into fall. Throw one on over a girly, floaty maxi dress for a genius balance of masculine/feminine. Wear the look with sandals in the early fall and swap them out for suede low-heeled ankle boots when it gets really chilly.

Wear it for added swagger (who doesn't need some of that?!).
Okay, yes, this moto jacket is embellished with animal print, but a trendy moto chic look is just as easily achieved with a plain black jacket. Worn with perfectly-fitted jeans, a bold handbag, and a few fun extras, this look will take you just about anywhere.
