A shot of white can make your outfit just right

It's an old-school rule that you shouldn't wear white after Labor Day, but in our newfound fashion freedom we can now choose to wear light colors in cooler weather.

The little black dress is such a staple that it is no wonder that the little white dress could be its neighbor in your closet. After all, the right shade of winter white is flattering on everyone. It looks so rich.

When it comes to pants, pair them with a jewel-tone or chocolate brown sweater. With wool or denim you can't go wrong. And a blazer or leather boots finishes it off.

Or you could go with a black turtleneck, cute flats, and chunky jewelry. Either way, white is necessary to make the look. Just remember that tighter is not better and to wear nude undies.

For the more subtle, a shot of white, like a turtleneck under a sweater, has a slimming effect just like black and vertical lines. And mixing a few tones of white in the same outfit is also chic.
