White-Hot American Summer by Blake Lively and Justin Bieber
Celebrities like Blake Lively and Justin Bieber are sporting white this season, so start working some of this crisp, clean neutral into your wardrobe.
Yesterday (March 20) marked the first day of spring, which means it’s time to start planning that summer wardrobe. This season is all about white. Some of the hottest celebrities have been spotted wearing white lace, white crochet and even white velvet.
White jackets have been popping up everywhere. Mila Kunis wore a white Boca Negra suit to the Cosmo’s Fun Fearless Males of 2011 event, according to Elle.com.
And even Justin Bieber followed suit when he donned a white velvet three-piece tuxedo by D&G to the 53rd annual Grammy Award Show, reports E! Online.
If you’re in the market for a casual piece to toss on before the movies or the grocery store, try the White Linen Waterfall Jacket from Topshop. For a special event or work, consider this Haute Hippie Oversized Tuxedo Jacket from Shopbop.com.
Although jackets are a great layering piece, dresses are an obvious summer staple. Whitney Port and Blake Lively chose exquisitely detailed pieces to ring in spring 2011.
Whitney Port wore an embellished long sleeve white lace Rachel Roy dress to a dinner at Il Sole in West Hollywood for the celebration of Who What Wear’s new book on March 10, reports Couture Candy, and Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively wore a Chanel haute couture organza dress with ruffled detailing to Chanel’s private dinner at La Grenouille, says Elle.com.
You don’t need a gala invite to hop on this trend. Miranda Kerr shows us that a crochet piece, like this one from Blue Heaven Boutique, is perfect for the beach and can be worn over and over again.
Just remember that it’s all about the detail, which is why this subtle lace Strapless Dress by Michelle Mason is perfect for a midday BBQ that turns into a night out with the girls. Switch up your accessories (try a neon yellow clutch or a tiger eye bauble ring) for a new look with the same dress.
Leave it to Calvin Klein’s Spring 2011 collection to highlight the idea that basic apparel looks classy and modern in white.
Pair a wide leg trouser with other neutrals, try a long sleeve cardigan with a short dress or pair of white jeans, and definitely buy a pair of wedge espadrilles to go with a pair of high-waisted flare jeans or with an eclectic print mini dress.
