White: It’s one of the most coveted classic colors—and yet, there are so many rules in the fashion world regarding when you should and shouldn’t wear it. Even though we’ve grown up on the general consensus that you’re not supposed to break out this hue after Labor Day, there are several reasons why it’s time to rebel and go all white this winter.
1. It Lifts Your Mood
First of all, it’s no secret that bright hues are renowned as instant mood enhancers. However, did you know that white, in particular, is a positive color associated with innocence, light, goodness, heaven, brilliance, and perfection? Sure, the cold and dark days we can expect in winter are enough to make anyone feel dismal; however, if you’re wearing white, it can help you turn that frown upside down in a fashion heartbeat.
2. It Produces a Cool Yet Classic Wintry Look
Timelessly elegant, white can add a touch of sophistication to the most casual outfits. You can even put on a modern spin on your aesthetic with head-to-toe tailoring to epitomize androgynous chic. Either way, an all-white ensemble is super youthful—and there’s no better way to look fresh to death in the wintry months.

3. It Encourages Creativity
As your color scheme is already sorted, pairing white on white means that you can find other ways to be creative with your outfit. Want to inject dimension into your look? Mix different shades of white and cream or utilize contrasting textures like denim and cashmere. If you have fun with your aesthetic and aren’t afraid to step out of your comfort zone, there are no limits as to what you can achieve.
4. It Looks Great Dressed Up or Down
Another great thing about white as the main outfit hue of choice is that it’s incredibly versatile. From a refined floor-length slip dress and blazer combo for a fancy dinner party with friends to a polished shirt and cigarette pants fusion for a day of business meetings, there are many ways that you can dress up to look all white. Likewise, an oversized knitted jumper with a midi length skirt and pointed boots is a stylish way to pair white on white for smart casual occasions. Alternatively, are you just heading to the mall or running some errands? Try a casual tee with skinny jeans and a teddy bear coat for utmost winter grace.
5. It’s Unique
The best thing about crisp all-white ensembles in the colder months is that they’re stylishly unique. If you experiment with different shades, mix, and match textures, and have confidence in your look, you’re sure to turn heads for all the right reasons. Oh, and don’t worry about wearing this color in winter due to its ability to attract stains and spills—you can avoid this by wearing your outfit for short outings and events. Either way, have faith and everything is going to be all white this season.
