Wearing winter whites



The fall/winter 2012 collections are making dramatic statements this season—one of them is the new take on winter whites. While we’re seeing some beautiful variations in our fashion clothing store, from stark hues that are pure-as-the-driven-snow to antique shades of cream, this trend seems to be more about the flair of the entire ensemble, rather than the exact tone. 

One way to wear the winter white trend that is stunning and classic is the tailored look, which is perfect for South Bay fashion, and is prevalent among the local boutique clothing stores. The variations we’re seeing lean a little bit towards the mod, slightly androgynous style of Twiggy in the 1960s. Sharply defined waistlines, formal shirts and sleek minidresses are a great way to translate this trend that is perfect for Redondo Beach clothing styles. 

This type of structured tailoring can make the silhouette of a suit or even pantsuit more feminine and soft. South Bay fashion mavens are also donning tailored white shift dresses, which are ubiquitous in boutique clothing stores. Again, the pure tones of white soften any harsh lines, allowing for a distinct silhouette that still looks soft and feminine.

If you love the trend but don’t want to wear monochromatic white, there are some fun ways to pair it that we’ve seen many of the clients of our fashion clothing store try. An easy choice is the classic black and white combination.  You can also take more of a risk and simply wear a statement piece in black to offset the white outfit—try a handbag, shoes or necklace.

A great coupling that offers an exciting twist is white and gold, a combination that evokes a feeling of royalty or aristocracy. You can do this simply with accents or statement pieces, which is a more conservative way of adding flair to Redondo Beach clothing. Metallics are a favorite this season, so also try your hand at styling white and silver together for a frosty, dramatic look. Silver makes for gorgeous accents, so look for pieces with silver buttons, cuffs, collars and other cool detailing.
