1. Go All-White


A little daring winter look but yes, you can wear all-white in the winter.
If you plan on wearing head-to-toe white, choose pieces in different shades and textures of white to add visual interest to your look.
Thus, a beautiful jumpsuit would be a great idea, as an all-white one-piece just elevates that ethos more. Pair it with on-trend lace-up boots or riding boots for a complete look.
2. Or Mix Shades of White

You can also wear creamy whites or even light neutral shades of beige as they look heavier, warmer, and add depth and richness to your winter look.

For instance, a thin white turtleneck is an easy way to incorporate the hue into your winter wardrobe. Wear it alone before throwing on top a pale gray suit for a monochrome look, or layer it under a dress.
5. Or Just Pair With Pastels


Pastel colors look heavenly when paired with a pair of your favorite white jeans. Just be sure to keep the rest of the outfit distinctly “winter-like” so that your choice of white denim looks intentional.
For example, a cozy, lavender furry sweater would look absolutely stunning with a pair of white jeans and grey booties. This look also transition perfectly into spring!

The easiest way to add visual interest to your winter wardrobe while wearing white is to mix different textures.
You could add touches of cashmere, mohair, wool, faux fur, or corduroy to the mix. Then contrast with silk, lace, sequin, or other thin fabrics you want to mix in your winter outfit.
A white lace dress or top is great for injecting a bohemian vibe into your fall wardrobe. However, since the fabric is too flimsy for winter, layer with leather or fur to add texture and richness to your look.
White trousers and a heavy gauge knit are the perfect winter white combo. You can also layer on silky white tops for a fun play on contrast.
8. Layer Stylishly

9. Accent Your White With Prints

Prints are forever stylish and will not go out of fashion any time soon! The best part is that prints can take all shapes and sizes – from jackets to coats and beanies, and from bags to boots so you have a variety to choose from.
When you go for animal prints, camo, or snake prints over your white outfit, keep the number of colors you use in check.

You should not overdo things, especially since most prints already feature different shades of color. Camo includes green, olive, and browns while leopard prints include browns, whites, and blacks.
10. Be Dramatic


Not only does texture add interest to your look, but also the details. Details add drama, taking your look from basic and boring to lovely and eye-catching!
A simple white tee worn with a dramatic detailed skirt would be very striking. Top it off with a fur coat and you’re set for any formal occasion.
11. Accessorize With Color & Glitz

If you want to make your white winter outfit look elegant, then add a bit of color or shine. A bit of color in your bag or shoes, bling in your jewelry, or a touch of hardware on your bag will look elegant and luxurious.
Colored accessories can help spice up any all-white or off-white look. However, wear them in small numbers, as less is more and there is always a touch of elegance in simplicity.
Pick one or two items only to add a splash of color to your outfit, for instance, matching a yellow handbag and gloves, scarf and gloves, scarf and purse, or your overall jewelry set- think the earrings, necklace, and bracelet, or even your shoes and sunglasses.


Rely on your statement jewelry this season, as it makes everything look good against a white outfit!
However, if you are wary of wearing a white outfit on muddy days, go the safe route and pick white for your accessories.
