Now that I’m a redhead I love white! It’s the first time I’ve ever really been able to wear it, since I was formerly a pale blonde and it’d wash me out.

My summer “white” staple are a great fitting pair of white trousers. There’s nothing like having the perfect pair, topped with a bold color shirt or tank or blouse.

I’m so happy to see that others love white wardrobe goodies just like me. There is no substitute. White makes most Summer outfits look seasonally right.

Sal, white bottoms have been around for a while. They are a staple in Europe every season, especially in linen. White bottoms were huge in the 60’s and 80’s. They seemed to have lost their momentum in the 90’s, but the last decade has been full swing white bottoms all over again. I’m thrilled. A white pair of jeans is one of my all time favourite looks for warm weather.

Joni, oxyclean works wonders and so does Tilex.

Meream, if I let the rain stop me from wearing white jeans, I’d hardly ever be able to wear them

Lisa, Old Navy, Target and J Crew have great white denim jackets in at the moment. Eddie Bauer does too but I’m not sure of their fit this season.

Inge, hope you debut your white jacket soon.

For me, the summer staple I couldn’t live without are my white cotton palazzo’s. Perfect cut for my pear shape.

Around my face though, because my palette is warmer rather than cool (too many years on the beach and with Italian heritage) my whites must have a hint of ‘red’ in them rather than cool, crisp ‘blue’ white which brings out dark circles under my eyes and I look 5 years older!

I wore a white linen skirt today…and I am embarrassed by the number of white blouses in my closet. It’s bad.

I’m all for it too! I bought a white belted blazer (no contrasting buttons though) on sale at the end of Summer last year, and didn’t even get a chance to wear it. I hope I’ll be able to remedy that soon.

It’s probably just me, but I quite like pairing white with something striped, feels very Parisian to me, but maybe I should curb my stripey enthusiasm, I don’t want to be mistaken for a sailor;-)

I have a white outfit posted today.

I rarely wear it together, but I was challenged to find something under $20.00 I like to break the white up with other colors, then it is more striking.

I love white!!! In Houston, there have been tons of all-white parties. The looks is so elegant and glam. Looks good in pics too. I have a pair of white bootcut jeans. Looks great with a coral, turquiose or citron top. I am skeptical on white shoes. They look shoddy too quickly. I prefer a nude shoe to elongate my frame. I am 5′2.
