The spring/summer runways were flooded with the hottest color of the season: white. Last year’s fashion broke boundaries by making menswear the norm in female trends and styles. Why should 2009 be any different? Throw the rule book out the door and have fun with your clothes this summer. White is good any time – before and after Labor Day. Take a note from Michelle Obama who wore white in January. In 30 degree weather. In comparison, a little white cardi or dress on a warm day hardly seems out of line. For something more office appropriate, update the classic style of Chanel by incorporating black into your white ensemble. For a weekend look, I like an all white outfit such as a white dress or white jeans with a white blouse. I prefer to keep it simple, but the more adventurous fashionistas should definitely try punching up this modern look with a bright tribal necklace, a colorful bag, or vibrantly hued nail polish. Your whites don’t even need to match for you to look put together and stylish. Go ahead- try it!
