The crisp white accessory

June 15th, 2006

With white being this season’s hottest colour, you might want to think about adding a few white accessories to your summer wardrobe. It’s an easy way of making last year’s summer clothing look current. If you feel that you can’t wear white; buying the accessories is another way of getting “the look” without having to wear the clothing:

  • White bag – Totes, hobos, slouchy shoppers, messengers or clutches - any style of bag is a good choice in white.
  • White belt – opt for either a broad belt that you can loop through your jeans, or a versatile elasticized one that you wear on your waist or hips. Choosing a belt with metallic hardware tends to soften the strong contrast a pure white belt can make.
  • White necklace – if it can’t be Mikimoto peals off the shores of Japan, then a good old white beaded plastic choker will do just as well.
  • White shoes – Wedges, espadrilles, thong sandals or clogs are all good choices. White shoes with black heels tend to be less versatile and heavy looking. Opt for white shoes with white or natural heels.
  • White watch – take you pick! Watches with white straps are also especially fashionable for men at the moment.
  • White portable media center – this sexy bit of technology allows you to watch a movie or listen to music absolutely anywhere!

Elevate your outfit with crisp white accessories this summer – you’ll feel as cool as you look.

    I struggle with white……Should I be wearing something white if I am wearing a white accessory?

    You are right Lori - we can have it all these days!

    Not necessarily Sue. Wearing black and updating your look with white accessories is a good option. I seldom wear white because I am fair - but white accessories seem to work well. I have a blog entry devoted to how to wear white called - “of course you can wear white” - you might find that helpful.

    The same concept applies with white accessories - “it doesn’t match, but it works”. Let me know if I can help you further.
