It’s all white! #love.
It’s all white this week on The FiFi Report .
White is THE biggest trend for next summer. And it was all over the runways this week at the Chanel, Valentino and Dior Haute Couture Fall ’14 shows in Paris.
Meaning ?
This colour (!) is here to stay.
And it’s time to invest.
Ooh la la : Let’s shop white !
( click on anything you love and it will take you straight to the store).
Your checklist:
- White slouchy pants a la Celine ( below) should be at the top of the list. Best from Country Road, Bassike or Witchery: Wear with wedges or flats.
- A white poloneck sweater : when Louis Vuitton and Celine both show white polonecks in their collections you know you had better get one. Stat.
- White jeans: baggy boyfriend jeans are a little more chic than tight and skinny. Ripped or not.
- A white Tee: Layer it under a white blazer, add grey jeans. Done.
- A white blazer: it’s de rigueur for summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. You need one.
- Ditto a white jean jacket: In summer you will be amazed how versatile it is ( perfect for zee zouth of France too).
- A long white floaty skirt: Only wear with flats or chunky mules. No pointy heels. This is an order. Toss with slouchy sweater, blazer or tee.
- You can’t go past a chic white cuff. Hermes or bust. #LOL
- White heels are still right – as I predicted – but now invest in a square heel sandal.
- Birkenstocks ‘aint going nowwhere so get used to it. Soz.
- A white tote bag will magically lift your summer wardrobe ( even if you wear all black). I promise. Go for a slouchy casual tote.
- White aviator sunglasses are so flattering against the skin. Perfect for the yacht. In Como. With George.

How to wear white!
• You can rock this look for summer or layer it up for winter. Like right. Now. Brrr.
• Mix it up with one or two other colours.
• White loves brown, tan or camel. All tones of brown love white. Marriage made in heaven.
• Yes, black is great with white –duh- but denim is better.
• Layer white on white: so a white jacket over a white tee.
• Push up up the sleeves, roll up your jeans or keep the legs bare.
• It’s good to stick to white, tan or taupe shoes. But black is Ok too. Phew.
• Think about white in interesting textures like chunky knits, leather or shiny stiff fabrics.
• A ruffle or frill will work in white when it would look too fussy in other colours.
• White lace is chic and so is white, fresh cotton.
• Go for the new, oversized shapes. Strong, sculptural and architectural .
• Big and white? Don’t hyperventilate! Calmez-vous.
• What makes white look new? The sloppy, slouchy silhouette. #tightwhite = tacky
• Add a belt in chic tan if you want to streamline the look.
• Don’t go near toddlers, chocolate cake, blueberries or beetroot. #yikes.
• The best news? White next to the face takes ten years off. #truestory.
