How To Style Winter White for the Holidays
Ladies do you love to wear winter white in the winter or during the holidays?
I went to a small holiday dinner party this week and pulled out this over 10-year-old winter white suit (praying it would zip up) and thought to myself do I add a pop of color with my accessories or go with a totally monochromatic look?
I love wearing winter white when the weather outside is frightful because it lifts my mood. Winter white or any shade of white symbolizes purity and simplicity. It’s a very elegant look that can be worn by adding a pop of color in your accessories or keep it simple by wearing a monochromatic look with pearls.
Since the winter white outfit is the canvas to paint on, one of the most stylish, straightforward, and elegant ways to compose your attire is adding a splash of bright color with the help of your accessories.
Adding a Pop of Color with Winter White
Colored accessories need to come in small numbers, as less is more and simplicity is elegance. Pick one or two items only to add a splash of color to your outfit: like a necklace, earrings, and shoes.
Since it’s the holiday season I thought my red necklace and earrings would look great as a pop of color. I also have on my favorite red heels.
Black always looks great as a pop of color with a winter white outfit but wear a color that you love. You can’t go wrong with any pop of color for a winter white outfit!
Monochromatic Style
There is something very elegant and chic about wearing pearls with a winter white suit. This suit even looks nice without the necklace because of the gold button details on the pockets.
I love wearing white on white because it’s such a crisp and clean look. I am wearing two different multistrand pearl necklaces but you can easily wear one multistrand necklace.

A Note About My Makeup
My makeup reflects the understated elegance I was trying to achieve with my winter white outfit. I wore bronze-pink lipstick and went light on my eyeshadow. As I have gotten older less is more when it comes to my makeup.
My outfit, jewelry, and shoes are no longer available, but I have selected similar items that you may enjoy for your winter white holiday outfit.

Goodness Robin you look magnificent in winter white!!! I love the way you change up the look just by styling different necklaces. Gorgeous!!
Thank you Lucy!
I love using a neutral outfit like my winter white pantsuit and adding a pop of color!
I can’t believe your suit is 10 years old! So striking, and so classic. It just goes to show that good taste never goes out of style. I have a winter white full-length coat that is roughly 15 years old, and every time I wear it, whether with an evening dress or something super casual like jeans, it brightens my whole outfit. Winter white jazzes everything up!
Hi Robin
I have a winter white peplum sweater I love to wear with gold and I will pair it with a lace skirt for the Holidays or a black faux leather pencil skirt. I love your suit, so striking on you, and the pearls are elegant for sure, with this look! Ive always loved winter white -its so classic!
