White clothes are simple, fresh and summery. However, wearing one “well” is not easy. This article will give you tips on how to combine it in the best possible way.
Steps
Step 1. Choose a white tone that suits your skin:
not everyone is happy with the purest and most brilliant white. To the cold tones (with blue or pink undertones), the classic bright white is better suited (because it too has a cool undertone) combined with silver accessories. THE bronzed tones (with orange, yellow or red undertones) require white or ecru, especially when combined with golden accessories. THE ebony tones (which may have yellow, blue or red undertones) are more versatile and are enchanting with both common white and ecru and with both silver and gold accessories. THE olive tones (with light greenish or yellow undertones) go better with ecru. If you don't know what your skin undertone is, put yourself in the sunlight and try to identify the color of your veins; if they tend to green, your undertone is probably warm, while if they tend to blue, your undertone is cool. Either way, if you can't spot it, maybe your undertone is just plain neutral.
Step 2. Go for a tightly woven, opaque white dress
The white fabrics, in fact, under certain lights, allow a glimpse of what they cover. Before buying a white dress, never neglect the transparency factor. To do it:
- Put the dress in the direction of the light.
- Insert a hand into the dress.
- If you can see the color and shape of the hand, the dress is too transparent! Buy it only if you have a petticoat.
Step 3. Select a good quality fabric, as it will surely show less
However, some clothes may have a lining. Either way, opt for heavier cotton, linen and synthetic fibers.
Step 4. Avoid tight-fitting white clothes, as white notoriously does not slim the figure
Opt for flowing and fresh clothes, ideal especially for the summer season.
Step 5. Underwear must be the same color as your skin
In fact, white lingerie (but also any other color that differs from your natural tone) is quite visible under clothing of the same color.
Step 6. Choose an appropriate pair of shoes
White is the color of purity and simplicity. If you want to stand out and create a contrast, you can wear red heels.
- Shoes should be beige, camel, brown or light gray.
- Silver, bronze or gold sandals and flip flops are just as perfect.
- Avoid white shoes and sandals: it is preferable to create a little contrast.
Step 7. As for accessories, white goes well with wooden and metal ones
However, simplicity is the key, especially when wearing a white dress.
Advice
- It plays down the color of the dress by showing a little skin so as not to have a "santarellina" look.
- At work, white should only be worn if the dress really fits the figure well and is of good quality. To tell the truth, most of the white clothes are rather saucy and are preferable for leisure rather than for the office.
- If you have small children, white isn't always the best choice. Wear this type of clothing only for special occasions or if you are going out for a few hours. Otherwise, buy some fabrics resistant to the attacks of your children!
- The petticoat is not a grandmother's item of clothing! Invest in a high quality one that is the same skin tone as you; moreover, most men find sexy when they see her from under their skirts.
Warnings
- Avoid white wedding dresses (unless it's yours!) - you won't want to ruin the bride's day!
- Be careful during your period: if you were to have any losses, it would be noticed immediately!
- White fabrics reveal what they cover when wet.
