The Summer Of No Spills: My Favorite Ways To Wear White

Allow me to introduce you to your warm-weather closet hero.

PINSTRIPED BLAZER: Rachel Zoe  |  HIGH WAISTED PANTS: Rachel Zoe (also love the crop version HERE)  |  CROP TOP: Rachel Zoe (similar affordable alternative HERE) |  SANDALS: Aquazurra (old, additional white sandal options HERE, HERE and HERE) |  SHOULDER BAG: Stella McCartney  |  STACKED BRACELETS: Roxanne Assoulin  |  STUD EARRINGS: Chanel (vintage, similar HERE)

 

Whites for summer?  Groundbreaking, I know.  But this summer, the white game is on a whole different level and while dresses are definitely taking center sidewalk, I’ve recently found love in a three-piece pinstripe suit designed by none other than my friend Rachel Zoe, queen of the California chic.  While it’s definitely white wine-only, this suit has really stood out to me as a warm-weather closet hero.  Versatility has been a key clothing requirement since… forever, and a long, hot summer is the perfect time to bring in pieces that give you easy, amazing options for everything from busy days to out.  Also, it’s just really beauty, and knowing I have it ready-to-go builds endless closet confidence.

 

Closet Confidence

Noun:  clos·et con·fi·dence  \ ˈklä-zət , ˈklȯ- \ ˈkän-fə-dən(t)s , -ˌden(t)s \

Defined: The knowledge and comfort gained by knowing one’s wardrobe is seasonally on-point and ready for anything.

 

I wore all three pieces of this suit to Rachel’s recent bridal presentation (cue the perfect rooftop view).  As you can tell, I never turn down an opportunity to be power suit twins.  This look is a style dream-team made up of Rachel’s Dominique Pinstripe Blazer, Belle Pinstripe Bustier Top, and Lee Pinstripe Pleated Wide-Leg Pants.  The event was an ideal setting for the crisp, delicately pin-striped suit, with the uniqueness of the bustier’s detail and killer wide leg pant keeping the look from feeling too courtroom.  As a bonus, it gives you a chance to join the wear-white world on a weekday, as those flowy white dresses are so often better suited to brunch.

 

 

Altogether, the multi-piece look was a power move for an important event, but when you break it down into workwear staples, this is a suit that can take you through summer, repeat-free. While the bustier top and wide-leg pants sans blazer work better for a night (a date?) out, swapping the bustier for a more classic and colorful workwear top opens up so many looks for the daily summer grind, blazer or not.  Considering each individual piece is also strong as part of a multitude of summer looks, we might have stumbled upon summer’s most impressive power-pairing.

 

If I could only throw my support behind one style investment this summer, you’re looking at it.  Don’t let the white sundress get all the attention (but still a little attention, you know how I feel about dresses), and increase your wardrobe’s versatility from here to Labor Day. (And maybe longer–who needs rules when you’ve got closet confidence?)

    This three set power suit is definitely one of the most beautiful outfits I’ve seen in a while! I love the simplicity of it but how because it’s so simple it looks very sophisticated and chic. I always have been a fan of pinstripes because it gives off a “sailor vibe” to me which I like. This set is definitely perfect for summer because of the white and how lightweight the material is! I love the attitude in the beginning of the post when you said how “groundbreaking” white is for summer! 🙂

    This white Beach dress is style-forward, with bell sleeves and high-quality embellishment. I found it when I was searching White Beach Dresses on google.
