White Is The Official Colour For Spring 2015

The white is the official colour for Spring trend has really taken off and top brands and designers have been quick to come to the aid of fashion fans. From romantic dresses to sporty separates, everything is white for the coming season.

White always looks vibrant and stylish, and is particularly effective as days become brighter and warmer.  Spring is the perfect time for shorts and sleeveless tops, dresses, t-shirts and lighter coats and jackets, and you'll find plenty to choose from in beautiful shades of white.

Many women worry that white is not the easiest colour to wear, but there are some simple hints to getting it right. If you're aiming for an all white outfit, go for a streamlined, uncluttered silhouette. Larger look garments such as wide palazzo pants or over-sized shirts can have a swamping affect if worn together, so try balancing these looks with a simple vest top or skinny jeans. Choose a shade of white that complements your complexion.

Those with dark or olive skin tones look sensational in pure brilliant white, while fair skinned women will look cool and elegant in ivory. Creamy shades of white suit everyone and have a warming effect, while both blondes and brunettes will stand out from the crowd in fresh blue toned whites. It's important to get the basics right too. Select underwear in white or nude to banish tell tale lines and to prevent garments from showing through.

Pick clothes that allow you to show off your personal taste and style. Look for exciting details like cut-away shoulders, unusual necklines or lace inserts that make white dresses or tops stand out. You can also experiment with fabrics; cool cotton is perfect for Spring while high-tech fabrics give pretty skater or sports style dresses a stylish, contemporary edge.

Luxury materials work especially well in white, and picking a key piece such as beautifully cut linen trousers or an elegant wool mix spring coat will provide you with a base for numerous looks.

White jeans are popular whatever the season, but fantastic as part of the white trend. Jeans in white are a celebrity staple, and you can get that rock star look by adding a sequin embellished t-shirt or a glamorous top. If you're a fan of the trendy nautical style, simply add a striped top in red and white or navy and white to make your jeans stand out.

Alternatively, choose wide legged trousers, cigarette pants or a simple skirt. White skirts are eye catching and fresh, and there are styles for casual or more formal wear. Try wearing a white mini skirt with flip-flops and a long sleeved top in a chic neutral shade for a simple but effective day time outfit, or explore some of the elegant styles like pencil skirts or midi length skirts that can be accessorised with heels and tailored jackets for the office.

Skater or sports style dresses are right on trend, and they perfectly straddle the line between casual and dressed up, while fitted sheath dresses or stylish jersey wrap dresses give you a glamorous edge after dark. Whether you like the classic black and white monochrome look, or whether you enjoy trying new colour combinations, you'll find that white is versatile and easy to accessorise.
