Candy glam

Cream is the classic—and safest—shade for winter whites. A gold collar picks up the flecks of gold in this dreamy jacquard dress. For a truly festive vibe, kick it up with a colorful pump. Don’t forget the matching ring and clutch combo—so on-trend.

Frosty femme

Much like the frost formations on the windowpane, a white lace frock has us dreaming of a fresh snowfall. The key here is contrast: a black belt against an ivory skater dress sets this ensemble apart from your sunny boho get-ups. Add girly and glitzy touches with bows and beads.

Edgy on ice

Who knew a stark white dress could be so bold? Pair it with funky tights, velvet heels (swoon!) and a cool cobalt blazer for the ultimate wintry scene. The finishing touch: an icicle-inspired spike bracelet. Wear it your wrist, or around a bun like in our Dec/Jan glossy. (Psst! For expert level, swap the blue blazer for a hot pink blazer. It works—trust!)
