White lightens and brightens your look… and matches absolutely everything! Update your closet with these affordable white wardrobe pieces:
The classic tee

Or pair your tee with a floral skirt for a fun, carefree look. White T-shirts are available with crewnecks or v-necks, with short-sleeves or long, classic or fitted. You’ll want more than one…

A crisp, classic button-down blouse
Like the classic tee, a white blouse is something every closet needs. White button-downs can be perfectly tailored for the office, or loose and flirty for a picnic. Wear a long white button-down over leggings or a cropped, tapered blouse with a pencil skirt. Just about any bottom you wear will look great with a white blouse.

White heels
There was a time when white heels were a definite no-no, but those days are long gone. Celebs like Paris Hilton have made white shoes uber-chic once again.

And white strappy heels will flatter your glowing tan and feel oh-so-summery!
