While fashion fans have broken the taboo on wearing white after Labor Day, summer still is the best time to break out your whites. The little white dress is quickly replacing the little black dress for summer soirees, and nothing looks better next to white than tan skin. Look for interesting white pieces — lace or embroidery, for example — to really make the look pop.
Look for white patent-leather handbags and shoes, plus bright white sunglasses and chunky bangles. Or pair your white with gold jewelry, a great accent. Keep cool and still look white-hot with these pieces, all under $100. BCBG Girls “Library” pump, $97.95 at Nordstrom and nordstrom.com.
