Crisp white feels so right now. I was always of the motto: "I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color." (And with good reason, because a lack of coordination, lattes, and white pants don't mix.) But even the most dedicated New Yorkers are surrendering their sworn-to-noir attitude, and for good reason: these whites aren't your standard sheer, eyelet, or flowery fare; in structured shapes and mid-calf lengths, they mean serious business. Tips for making the look more Manhattan than Cape Cod? Style with simple, elegant accessories like pointed-toe pumps and a sleek watch, or up the cool factor on a classic ensemble with chunky kicks (just make sure they're spotless). Can't commit to all white? Paired with edgy black accessories, the look transitions to September weather while subtly highlighting a summer glow.
