Even Alexander McQueen said, “It’s a new era in fashion; there are no rules,” so why neglect the white portion of your wardrobe just because Labor Day has passed? White can be an easy way to transition your outfits from summer to fall, so check out some key transitional pieces below. McQueen would fully support you.
Need an outfit that is still a bit summery, yet still acknowledges the presence of pumpkin spice lattes? It can be tough finding that delicate balance, but a crisp white button-up is a classic, no-fail choice. My favorite? InStyle Essentials Weekend Tunic. It is sized by bra size, so it fits like it was made for you, the buttons never pull, and there are zero annoying gaps. Genius! You can experience its magic for yourself here.
White open-toed shoes may be considered style suicide by the 2003 Elle Woods crowd, but remember, it’s a new era, so we’re going to wear white shoes all year long. The Miu Miu two-tone pointed leather loafer pictured above is an inoffensive way to flaunt your white shoe pride. You could even pair them with a long pant so that only the black toe shows, in case any of your friends are intolerant of your post-Labor Day fashion choices! Get them here.
White sunglasses are an easy piece to integrate into your transitional wardrobe. Throw them on when you have any qualms about your outfit looking too fall-esque too early. The Illesteva Leonard II sunglasses, above, can add a little essence of summer without being beachy.
White makeup after Labor Day can be chic and flattering. I love a good white mani. It creates a striking look next to a darker sleeve. My polish choice of the moment? Hard Candy Candied Color nail polish in Sugar Rush. Buy it here. If white manis aren’t your thing, give white eyeliner a try. It sounds extreme, but it’s not. Line your water line to make your eyes look larger, or use it in the corners of your eyes to highlight them in a subtle way. Dolce & Gabbana The Khol Pencil Intense Khol Eye Crayon in True White is a good place to begin your white eyeliner journey.
