The 5 Commandments of Wearing White
It can be tricky, but follow these rules and you can’t go wrong!
1. Wear flesh-toned undergarments. White can show through, but nude gives a clean look.
2. White reflects light, so don’t wear a fitted white garment on body parts you’d rather not accentuate.
3. For summer, white looks best (and is most comfy!) in lightweight fabrics like linen and eyelet.
4. Never wear white stockings — you’ll look like a nurse.
5. Anyone can wear white! Stark white flatters olive and dark skin. If you’re fair, choose a shade with a beige tint.
Keep jewelry spare. There’s nothing sexier than white fabric against bare skin.
