White Hot

With the coming and going of Memorial Day weekend we are officially in the season of 'whites'. An old, old, old rule that is meant to be broken by fashion mavens everywhere. But, in the spirit of summer, there really is something to be said about the color that is always crisp, always clean, and always chic.

White flowy dresses and airy blouses add romance to just about any look. The key to avoid the whitewashed look? Just add a bold accessory or heavy metal jewelry to toughen up even the most ethereal ensemble.

And come fall, Style.com is predicting that this white hot look will continue on into the autumn months, even giving the trusted LBD a run for its money.

Some of my favorite whites for the summer (and beyond):

Diane Von Furstenberg Fantasia Blouse, $285

Marc by Marc Jacobs Devore Cotton Dress, $450
Jen's Pirate Booty Senorita Dress, $110

Adam Embellished Linen Blend T-Shirt, $475
