Winter in Chicago means bundle-up dressing, being downright sensible about your choice of clothes. Snow mounds to maneuver, salt-ridden slush to hurdle–these are the pedestrian’s obstacle courses. For just a moment, though, bear with us while we make a case for wearing winter whites.
You can extend your wardrobe with one outfit or article of clothing in white–it goes well with this season’s black, brown and gray. And when the midwinter question of what-will-I-wear-today? comes up, answer it with a white jacket over black pants and turtleneck or an all-white suit. The drama of white in the dead of winter will warm your numbed soul. So your whites get soiled–drop them at the cleaners. This is one look you’ll wear judiciously, but it’s a look that’s worth it.
