Winter White, Yep, it’s a Thing

by Elysian Magazine

It might not be snowy outside yet, but winter white is an excellent way to make a statement.

We don’t know where it came from, this idea that wearing white is exclusively a summer thing. Sure, a white sundress is a great way to stay cool in the heat. But white boots or a white overcoat are sophisticated options for a frigid day. The key to doing winter white properly is keeping everything pristine, which does take some effort. Be sure to clean and polish white boots after each use, and it might be prudent to view red wine, tomato sauce, coffee, and other dark liquids with some suspicion. That said, just about any kind of stain can be removed from a white garment nowadays, as long as you have an excellent dry cleaner on speed dial.

White Boots
Everybody has a pair of black boots, and most people have a pair of brown boots, but it’s as if nobody ever thought of wearing white boots, until now. The good news is that every shoe designer has their own version of the white boot this season, so your options are virtually endless.
