Everybody’s wearing head-to-toe white

Head-to-toe white might not sound like an obvious choice for rainy days, but if London and New York fashion weeks taught us one thing this season, it’s that playing with a palette of bright white is a fail-safe way to breathe new life into your closet and provides the perfect antidote to dreary weather and gray skies.

For an elegant yet effortless off-duty look, follow in the ultra-chic footsteps of NET-A-PORTER’s Global Buying Director Elizabeth von der Goltz and fashion polymath Pernille Teisbaek by pairing a precision-cut coat with casual pants and lace-up combat boots. When it comes to footwear, ultimately it’s a question of whether you’re a walker. Bright white shoes promise maximum impact, but black is more practical – the same is true of your handbag, so be sure to choose with care.

If you’re looking for a sophisticated ensemble that solves the desk-to-dinner dilemma once and for all, follow art director Christie Tyler’s formula by opting for sharply tailored pieces. A white suit works just as well for the office as it does for a candlelit dinner. Just be sure you keep black coffee and red wine off the menu.
