7 New Ways To Wear White

MAKE YOUR WHITE SKIRT A FULL SKIRT

Brighten your spring wardrobe with pieces of white: the color dominated spring runways, and celebrities were quick to embrace updated ways to rock the timeless hue. To start, put away your pencil skirts in favor of one that’s full and white. Pair it with a skinny neutral belt and loose tank blouse, as seen on the Bottega Veneta runway, or try a lightweight skirt like Diane Kruger.
LAYER IT ON

White looks just as good as a single item as it does on an entire outfit, as shown here on Leighton Meester. On the runway, Alexander Wang layered white upon white upon white and finished the look with white hair accessories, a white purse and white shoes. Think it’s too much? Not this spring.
KEEP IT MINIMAL FOR EVENING

Long white dresses aren’t just for bridal gowns anymore. The elegant look is streamlined and stripped of extras in favor of sleek silhouettes with long sleeves. Gwyneth Paltrow mastered the chic, minimal look in an Emilio Pucci gown and Derek Lam showed off his version on his spring runway.
SHOW OFF SHEER

Spring offers a way to wear sheer for all styles. For a full-out sheer look, D&G showed off a whimsical see-through dress, layered over a bra top and bloomer shorts on the spring runway. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman tried a more attainable approach, with sheer sleeves on her white frock.
WEAR IT TAILORED

Precisely tailored white jackets and pants appeared on the runways, as shown here at Stella McCartney. Wear tailored white top-to-bottom, like Heidi Klum (in Ann Taylor), or mix and match your separates to vary your outfit options.
TRENCHCOATS MOVE BEYOND KHAKI

Sure, a good khaki trenchcoat is a wardrobe staple. But this season, try the same cut you love in white instead. Michael Kors designed a great belted version with a wide lapel and celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe was recently spotted in her own white trench, which she cinched with a wide black belt.
ADD SOME SHINE WITH METALLICS

Turn a casual outfit into something party-worthy with shades of metallic, especially silver. Balmain showed off a tailored white blazer and camisole with fitted silver pants, and Glee star Lea Michele tucked a white blouse into a silver and white printed skirt by Jenni Kayne.

In Praise Of Pencil Skirts

Fashion moments come in many forms. They can happen in an haute couturesalon in Paris or on a television screen; on the steps of a cathedral or falling out of a hotel bar.

My favourite recent fashion moment came in the corridor of a Milan hotel, where I happened to be trapped in a crush after a fashion show, directly behind Carine Roitfeld. Next to me was a senior editor from American Vogue, and for a full 10 seconds we both stood staring at Carine’s bottom, which was sporting a Givenchy black pencil skirt so divinely sculpted that it was, somehow, both filthily sexy and chic beyond reproach. After our shared moment of appreciation, the American reached over to Carine, tapped her on the shoulder, and complimented her on the skirt. Carine, the former editor of French Vogue, thanked her, and nodded in agreement. “Goes out, goes in, goes out” she said, while lightly tracing the curves of the back view of the skirt – out from her waist over her bottom, in again underneath it, and kicking out slightly at the back of the knee – with her hands. Then she flashed us that minxy, Cheshire cat grin over her shoulder and was gone.

A skirt that can make a grown woman come over all lascivious about her own bottom: we all need a bit of that in our lives, don’t we? (We also need to learn to accept compliments more like Carine. Her answer was so much more fabulous than the oh-my-god-this-is-so-old-and-I-think-I’ve-bust-a-seam response that many of us would have given.) The pencil skirt is the real hero of this season’s wardrobe. You’ve bought a coat, it’s too early to think about party dresses, and you’re already a bit bored by the jumper with a dog on it you ordered on a whim. Therefore, November is all about a pencil skirt.

Christina Ricci’s Pan Am uniform, coming soon to BBC2, promises to boost the pencil skirt back up the fashion ratings. To be brutally honest, Ricci probably isn’t going to rock a pencil skirt with quite the swagger the other Christina (Hendricks, in Mad Men) did (who can, right?). But what the Pan Am take on the pencil skirt does is move the look on from office-vamp territory. Pan Am is set in 1963, the same year as series three of Mad Men, but Ricci’s skirt is in a cheery sky blue rather than black, and not hobble-inducingly tight. This makes it very on-trend: Jonathan Saunders’s printed pencil skirts in soft, matt tones of tomato red, oatmeal and turquoise were the catwalk-to-front-row hit of the season. I have now sat next to that skirt so many times that I have almost convinced myself it is a good thing I don’t own it myself. (Not quite.)

The pencil skirt trend is a lifestyle thing. The typing-pool genes make it office-appropriate but the fashion angle gives it cocktail credentials, so this is a look that works morning to night, Monday to Friday. Kate Middleton often wears a pencil skirt on official engagements, because she is good at knowing how the media will “read” her clothes and a pencil skirt makes her look in step with working women. (She is also developing a signature narrow silhouette – pencil skirt and blouse, or shift dress – which, like the Queen’s hats and colours, makes her identifiable at long range.)

There are currently three pencil skirt types. The Posh Pencil, à la Carine, high-fashion and fabulously tailored (Givenchy and McQueen do the best, if you have that kind of cash). This kind of skirt will make anything – a simple blouse, a shell top and jacket – look amazing. Alternatively, you can do the Fashion Pencil, which is slightly longer (the seriously fashionable just love to wrangle with a tricky length) and in a slightly “off” colour or fabric. You can wear this with your dog jumper.

15 Easy, Fashionable Spring Outfits

pring is here, which means goodbye blanket scarves, goodbye boots, goodbye turtle necks. The first few weeks of a new season is always the hardest. Is it still acceptable to wear boots or is it time to put the boots away? Can you still wear vests? Are last season’s trends still in? The answer to all of those are yes, but to a certain limit. For example, you can still wear boots as long as the weather abides and as long as they are short/ankle. Vests are still a thing, but it’s how you wear it, what you wear underneath it, is what really matters. Some fall trends are still a thing but in a different fashion and worn in a different way. For example, skirts are still insanely popular, especially jean skirts, however, the suede skirts are being replaced with floral fabrics and one-shoulder silhouettes are bigger than ever.

The Spring season is brighter than ever and has so much potential. It’s time to clean out your closet and find those Spring essentials.
