I have a little fashion secret to share: not wearing white after Labor Day is officially outdated. When it comes to winter dressing, it’s all about choosing the right shade of winter white and pairing it with seasonally appropriate fabrics. Do that, and you can wear white all winter long.
Take today’s look, for example. While tan and white are often thought of as spring- or summer-centric neutrals, this outfit proves they work beautifully for winter. The cashmere sweater is the perfect warm neutral, elevated by dramatic ribbed detailing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem for added texture and interest. I styled it with my go-to straight-leg white jeans and continued the monochromatic feel with cream-colored boots by Vince.
To make the outfit feel even more winter-ready, I layered on a taupe wool-and-cashmere coat. Taupe is one of those incredibly versatile winter neutrals that works with almost everything, making it a smart investment piece you’ll reach for season after season. *My exact coat is sold out but I shared a few similar styles at the end of the post.
The result is a polished, head-to-toe taupe and cream look that’s perfect for a winter dinner date. Want to make it more casual? Simply swap the heeled boots for a chic pair of neutral sneakers and you’re good to go.
