Wearing White in the Winter: it's a YES, YES and YES!

Here at Wish Upon, we love white year-round...yes, even after Labor Day! ;-)

There’s something so chic about winter white outfits. Think creamy sweaters, soft ivory layers, and beautiful shades of bone and light beige. There’s nothing more elegant that a monochromatic ivory holiday look dressed up with a little gold and sparkle! 


Here’s our tips to wearing white all winter long! 

Mix It Up
The secret to a monochromatic winter white look? Your shades don’t have to match perfectly. Cream, ivory, bone, and soft white look beautiful together, and those subtle differences give an outfit depth.
Try a cream sweater with bone denim, or layer an ivory cardigan over a soft white top with cream pants. Keeping everything in the same color family creates a cohesive look without needing an exact match.


Let Texture Do Some of the Work
When you’re wearing similar shades from head to toe, texture makes it more fun and interesting. Think a chunky cable knit with denim, a fuzzy cardigan over a satin skirt, or a ribbed sweater paired with corduroy pants. Those combinations are what make winter white feel so cozy and right for the season. You can keep the color palette simple and still have plenty going on!


Bring On a Little Sparkle
Winter white and a little shimmer? Such a gorgeous combination.
A pair of sparkly earrings, a delicate necklace, or a sweater with a subtle metallic thread adds just enough shine. For a holiday dinner or a night out, try a cream knit with an ivory satin skirt and your favorite statement earrings. You don’t need much. Sometimes one beautiful accessory is all it takes.


Make It Work for Your Day
You don’t need a special occasion to wear winter white. A cozy ivory sweater, bone jeans, and tan ankle boots make a lovely everyday outfit for brunch, shopping, or a casual day at work.
Prefer a little contrast? Add a chocolate brown bag, a camel coat, or a rich burgundy shoe. Metallic accessories are pretty here, too, whether you love gold, silver, or a mix of both. 


Start With What You Have
Pull out your cream sweater, try it with your lightest denim, and add a little jewelry. You might already have the beginnings of a winter white outfit you love.


Cozy textures, creamy shades, and a touch of sparkle. That’s a winter combination we’ll happily wear on repeat all season long!
