Summer Whites That Set Off You & Your Jewels

posted by mary

It’s the Show-Off color of summer. Tans, attitudes, and jewelry are all enhanced by wearing white. But wearing it requires some level of responsibility. One drop of red wine or a not-so-clean park bench and there goes your pristine whites.

Plan to replace your white basics every season: t-shirts, pants, shorts, shirts etc. If you want to look really crisp and fresh in white, this is the way to do it. Wear and tear and washing take their toll on pure white.

Make sure you have a fully lined t-shirt bra to wear under ALL white tops. Bras, panties and shapewear should be nude. White underwear will show through when worn under white (or any light colors).

With white pants, skirts and dresses make sure the fabric is thick enough that the pockets or your underwear do not show through. Linings are not the answer. Most lining fabrics are man-made nylons and polyesters that do not breathe; wearing them in summer is like sweating in a plastic bag
