Jess Cartner-Morley on fashion: lift your winter look with a pop of white
The column notes that in winter people crave the brightness of snowfall and that a pop of snowy white is an effective boost for outfits.
It recommends white items such as ankle boots, as worn by Emma Roberts, and microdoses like a knitted beanie or white socks. White socks are said to sharpen the grammar of a look, creating contrast when worn with dark trousers and loafers.
Crisp white button-downs or simple long-sleeve T-shirts are useful as supporting players, and if shirts feel too formal a crew neck that reveals a half-moon of white at the neckline can achieve the same brightening effect.
Be judicious: head-to-toe white changes the vibe, and the suggested balance is around one part white to five parts dark. A pop of white can make you look and perhaps feel a little sunnier, a way to make your own snow day.
