Crisp, chic and effortlessly stylish — this winter gives a breath of fresh air to your wardrobe with the classic white.
Though it is popular as a summer shade, white is trending this season and keeping all the other darker hues, especially black, at bay. Bhavya Chawla, the chief stylist at Voonik​.com, says that people are looking for a change this season, which is making white a popular pick, given the vibrant and classy look of the hue. "The fabric that is used makes all the difference. For winter, a woollen white outfit or perhaps a shearling jacket can give a fresh and different look. A white shirt dress or simply a crisp white shirt is great as they can be layered with a white jacket instead of a black one (which people usually choose). This season 'little white dress' is trending more than a 'little black dress'; it is unusual and can make a person really stand out," says Bhavya.
She points out that if one is not very confident in wearing a plain white outfit, they can go for the ones with textures or a little work in colours like black or grey, while keeping white as the dominant colour. For people, used to the idea of black as a winter staple, a burst of white adds a dose of glam and freshness. "Many people are not very positive about monochromatic dressing, and white is pushing people out of their comfort zone. It can really accentuate one's look, especially for winter this year," opines Bhavya.
It is not just for outfits; this colour is getting popular in the world of cosmetics and add-ons too. From eye-makeup and nail paint to accessories like bags and shoes, white is dominating the fashion world. A touch of white eyeliner mixed with metallic colours like gold, bronze or silver can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic, says Bhavya. It gives a new touch to the eye-makeup and if one is sporting a white outfit, coupled with blown-out hair, they will look absolutely graceful, she adds.
Designer Shraddha of 'Anuradha and Shraddha Tikmani' believes that white on white is also a classy option and makes a statement on its own. She says, white twisted with other colours or threadwork which is not too embellished, gives a royal yet chic look. "This colour makes for both day and evening wear. It adds an elite touch to one's wardrobe. One can dress up or dress down as per the occasion. Outfits like a white jacket with jeans, skirts, cold shoulder dress, dhoti trousers and saris in white and cream are trending. When it comes to warm clothes, a heavy fabric jacket with embellishment or a 'kani' shawl with contrasting colours can be a few options one can look for this winter," says Shraddha.
Adding a punch to the winter, white fashion with bright contrasting colours will be something that can be experimented as well. Say a white knee length flared dress with a bright pink or orange high heels. Designer Gitanjali Fatehpuria says white has an element of dignity as well as sensuality to it. "Black is over-rated as an evening wear and with white stepping in, this trend is here to stay. A classic well-tailored white shirt is a must-have this season. One can wear a white dress and team it with black boots or a white flowing skirt with high-heeled boots," says Gitanjali.
"In fact, this colour looks good on every body type and adding a cape makes one look more confident. People can also add a pop of matte gold or chunky silver accessories with a white outfit while pearl and diamonds are always a classic and make heads turn," she adds.
