Nifty Neutrals: White
White is an understated neutral. The polar opposite of black, we often forget that white can be paired with anything. White is often associated with summer thanks to its lightness and brightness. However, come fall and winter white gets sidelined by some adage about white and Labor Day. Who cares? White, like black, is a neutral that can be worn all year round. Let’s throw away the rule and put white denim back into a place of honor in our closets.
1. Brights. Bold bright colors are one of the easiest ways to style a white denim skirt. For summer, I love pairing a white denim skirt with a melon pink blouse, mint scarf, floral print head wrap, and silver flats. It's the perfect spring and summer work outfit. This same outfit can be dressed down by adding a denim jacket.
2. Black. Black and white is a classic combination, with the unfortunate image of waiters and waitresses. White on top, black on the bottom. It’s time to mix it up. Wearing black on top and white on the bottom is a wonderful and fresh way to wear this classic combination any time of the year. I kept my outfit simple, classy, and eye catching by pairing a black knit blouse with white denim and silver sequin shoes.
3. Navy. Navy is another neutral which works well with white. For a clean cut nautical look, a solid navy blouse or sweater works well. To move away from the nautical, look, a navy blouse in a floral or painterly print is the easiest way to keep your style fresh and full of personality. I completed my outfit with a pair of tan buckle flats and a navy blue head wrap.
4. Stripes. If you love the nautical look striped tees paired with a white denim skirt is right up your alley. While navy and cream stripes are the most common tops paired with white denim, black and cream, and burgundy and cream are also excellent substitutes. With this outfit, I styled an olive and cream striped tee under a denim jacket to create a more causal look. I finished off the look with a pair of orange-red flats for an added pop of personality and color. This outfit can be worn from late summer to early fall. For added warmth in mid to late fall, simply swap the flats for a great pair of boots. I am quite fond of the concept of dark brown faux suede boots for this look.
5. Jewel Tones. Jewel tones exude maturity and sophistication, especially when they are paired with white denim. During winter, cranberry and emerald are excellent choices, as well as amethyst. Amethyst translates well into spring. During spring and summer, sapphire and teal are brilliant against white denim. For this last outfit, I combined two jewel tones: teal and sapphire. I love how teal and sapphire play well off of one another to create fun and sophisticated color combination. I styled my white denim skirt with a sapphire knit sweater and dark teal infinity scarf. For some visual interest, I completed my outfit with a pair of giraffe print flats.
