White is right

We were asked recently if it is ok to wear white jeans all year round. I am sure it is fine but Jennifer and I tend to wear them in the summer and as a transition staple.
On Emmanuelle, above, they look perfect in the early days of September when it is still warm. Early spring with a chunky sweater is great too, especially when you just cannot take one more dismal grey day. I don’t wear white jeans deep in the winter with parkas and boots, but that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t.
However, in the winter I do wear tons of white sweaters, button-downs, coats, dresses etc.
With all the bright colors and crazy patterns in the stores and on the runways, white offers a nice break any time of the year.

Jennifer and I both think the white shirt worn with a cream skirt is super chic.

White for evening is gorgeous too (as are most things on Kate!).

Thanks for addressing this. I was wondering what to do with my white pants. It just goes to show you that with enough style, you can break any fashion rule.
I’m not sure I can wear white past this month… Just engrained in my fashion history to NOT;-) But quick question: Can you tell me who makes Emmanuelle’s SHOES??? They are fabulous, just love her non-fashion fashion sense, so effortless, cool and very very simple.
Emmanuelle’s shoes are Givenchy from a few years ago.
I don’t think a white shirt (or top) counts as “wearing white” if you know what I mean. I think it more applies to dresses, trousers, and outerwear in my opinion. I used to want white jeans…until I was insulted by the fitting room mirror, so I’m letting that dream go.
