I am down in Florida where white is in season all year long but in the North white is less common during the cold months. While it may not be the most practical look for a cold snowy, grimy day there is really nothing quite as stunning as winter white. I love the shades from oyster to cream. These looks from J.Mendel, Reed Krakoff, Alexander McQueen, Nina Ricci, and Derek Lam show the proper way to do winter whites.
But do you really want to know how to wear winter white? My advice is to take a style clue from the leading lady of my favorite holiday rom-com, Cameron Diaz as Amanda Woods in The Holiday. Her wardrobe is absolutely stunning and Marlene Stewart’s costume direction is unrivaled. Here are my six favorite “winter white” looks Cameron rocked in the movie:
CHRISTIAN DIOR Chocolate Brown and White Shearling Coat
Gift Guide: Best Friend
Snakeskin Flats
Thursday Trend: Daytime Maxi Dress
The Canadian Tuxedo: Denim on Denim

I love winter white. I love white in general. It looks surprisingly good on my skin even though I am pale.

I had no idea white is a faux-pas during winter in the North! Noted! I don’t see why though, sure it’s not practical but I always feel like it looks fresher during colder months than warmer!

I definitely believe in a healthy dose of winter white–no matter where you live. For me, there aren’t many clothing items that are chicer than a crisp white winter coat!

I love the winter white look, but I always always always spill more when I have white on. What’s up with that? Maybe b/c it’s more visible. HAHA
Rachel says
I love winter white- I wear my white pants from time to time!
