Like most New Yorkers, most of my wardrobe—especially for winter—consists of the colors black, grey, navy, and (surprise, surprise) more black. White factors in occasionally, but more often than not it factors into my closets in its darker variations of off-white, beige, cream, and taupe. When my skin has lost all glow and color, and I’ve hidden the majority of it in layers of warm clothing, true white just doesn’t seem like a real option—rather, more like a bad idea. For whatever reason, black is the default color for winter.
However—now that summer is just around the bend—I can finally start to embrace the other half of the gradient spectrum with standout white-hot pieces. Personally, I don’t think that there’s a whole lot more elegant than an all-black ensemble during the wintertime in the City, but in the summer I think white pieces scream “fashion” with a fun sophistication that black can’t seem to accomplish.
Check out one of our best sellers right now, for instance: remember the New Year’s resolution to get a good leather? This to-die-for Vince asymmetrical leather jacket in “Vanilla” is a fabulous way to start bringing white into my wardrobe while gaining style points a simple black leather jacket couldn’t (bonus points: this jacket will still carry through to the Fall!).
Have a lovely holiday, everyone, and let us know what you’re doing for the long weekend—we love to hear from you!
