Gone are the days when wearing white after Labor Day is considered an outfit faux pas. In fact, when done correctly, it's one of the quickest ways to achieve a clean and polished look with little to no effort. From well-tailored suiting to chic outerwear that can be layered over anything you own, there is a slew of winter-white outfit options that will make you rethink everything you knew about one of fashion's most-dated rules.
When it comes to getting dressed during the cold-weather months, it's likely there is a handful of neutral tones that you rely on to get you through the dreary season unscathed. But in the event you're looking to switch it up from traditional black, brown, and beige, consider adding pops of white into the mix. A starch-white pair of over-the-knee boots like Nicholas Kirkwood's Lexi boots allow you to experiment with the trend before committing fully. However, for those who prefer a bolder approach, shoe designer and founder of eponymous label Amina Muaddi's white-on-white, monochromatic look is inspiration enough.
