You don’t have to be on the tennis court to wear all white. This stunning “color” is a favorite all summer long … and beyond. Trends may come and go, but this classic never goes out of style, so you can literally time travel through your closet and pull from items you’ve had over the last ten years. Your wallet will love you! White is a perfect option for any age and is beautiful on any body. Sure, it’s an obvious choice to ground a sea of color, but it’s absolutely dazzling when donned from head to toe. So we say “whiten up” - and don’t be afraid to rock your whites! It may not be the best choice for a play date with the kids, but for the romantic summer date, your white in shining armor is sure to prevail.

We all need a guide for wearing white appropriately on our tootsies. While white pairs nicely with any color, and white shoes are a great statement piece with a neutral or bright outfit, steer clear of white shoes with a dark outfit. Nude shoes are often a better option, and they will serve to elongate your leg.

We recommend sticking to the following white shoe styles this spring and summer:

• Gladiator Sandals - look super stylish with rolled jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses, and we’re thrilled to keep this trend alive this season!
• Espadrilles - a classic summer staple, perfect with white shorts, tan legs, and a bright tee
• Wedges - always a comfortable option, and will lengthen your legs in shorts and skirts
• Strappy Sandals - a dressier option for maxi dresses and skirts

As with all summer shoes, make sure you get the right size. Nothing ruins the perfect shoe like a foot spilling over the edge.

I am so excited about this issue, because I love white … especially white shirts! I have a closet full of them, and there’s always room for one more…. I can’t get enough! Spring and summer, winter and fall, white is always a smart option. What I love about white is that it instantly brightens your complexion and makes you look younger (and what woman doesn’t want to take a few years off?). White is an effortless way to let your beauty shine.

Last week we showed you a sneak peek at next season’s prints, and asked you to tell us your favorite. The results are in, and it looks like the moonbeam print is the winner.
