The Surefire Way to Make Your Winter Ensemble Look More Expensive

The Surefire Way to Make Your Winter Ensemble Look More Expensive

Is there anything more luxurious looking than a winter white outfit? This neutral hue has the ability to make every ensemble look seriously expensive. It may be cold and dreary out, but your outfit says, “I’m not giving in just yet” and looks undeniably chic. Not only does a winter white outfit look luxe, but it can also be an instant mood lifter—a welcome change to the black and grey hues we’re so used to gravitating toward throughout the cold-weather season.

So how do you pull off the look? Steer away from your summer whites when it’s cold out (e.g., lace and linen dresses or eyelet blouses), and instead mix and match plush and cozy cold-weather fabrics and textures such as ribbed knits, shearling, cashmere, and denim. Have fun playing with different shades of white within your outfit or contrasting the crisp hue with accents of black or tan. Keep scrolling for some outfits that will inspire you to wear white this season. (Just be careful with that coffee!)

Try pairing an interesting print with your winter whites, such as leopard-print boots, for a statement look that still feels cool and classic.

White accessories such as a wool hat or rain boots will add a fashion-forward and fresh touch to your look.
