There is a reason that white is a trend that will not die, when it is done right you look chic and cool, effortless and free. A person, for this is a unisex trend, dressed all in white has a certain cache that can not be denied. It is a high maintenance trend, in regards to the fact the tailoring has to be exceptional as the fabrics and the colour, tend towards the unforgiving, but there are ways to manage this in order to make it as accessible as any other item of clothing.
This season your White ensemble, should be based in one of two camps either ultra feminine, with layers of floating lace and sheer silk, using fabric to build texture, until the colour is only an impression whilst the detail tells the story and disguises the areas you want ignored. Your alternative is almost the exact opposite, structural tailoring that is inspired by 1920 Art Deco design, seams you could cut yourself on and shoulders that Atlas would be proud of. Just don't try and mix the two, a floaty dress with a structured jacket, or vise versa just won't look quite right.
On a more practical level, when it comes to your purchases, either buy cheap and accept the fact it may not look the same after it has been washed or really invest in the item and find an amazing Dry Cleaner, you know you can trust. It may be worth investing in a key piece on the grounds that, as I say this is a trend that is going nowhere. If you are naturally pale skinned, opt for necklines further from your face as this will give you enough space to not feel that you are camouflaged.
Now for those of you who like me are 'Spillers', there are days when I manage to look presentable for 2 minutes before I drop coffee down my front or put my sleeve in something unexpected, be careful and buy yourself some industrial stain remover.
