Lady LUX

This holiday season when you’re walking in a winter wonderland, why not do it in winter whites? Ditch the traditional red and green, and channel a “snow queen” vibe by wearing white from head to toe. When donning white looks, the shades of white don’t have to match. Simply layer on different tones of white or some silver to achieve an alluring holiday look.

A clean white coat is a great way to bring cohesion to a monochromatic white ensemble. With its ribbed vest inset, Viktor & Rolf’s full-length felt trench will keep you toasty during those chilly days. The coat features a ribbed collar layered over an oversized convertible felt collar. Pair this lush outerwear piece with a white dress such as Kimberly Ovitz’s Dinsdale. With its short asymmetrical hem and twist details, Viktor & Rolf’s coat complements the dress perfectly.

Dressing up for a big holiday bash? Get dolled up in Calvin Klein Collection’s avant-garde minimalist column dress, and knock everyone’s reindeer socks off. The floor-sweeping slinky jersey dress has long sleeves and a crossover V-back. To maintain the clean lines, tie your hair back in a sleek ponytail, and add a small silver hard-shell clutch. Finish with stiletto heels to further elongate the silhouette.

Rachel Zoe’s semi-sheer scarf top has just the right amount of romantic draping to wear with skinny pants or wide-leg palazzo pants. The blouse displays cutout shoulders and silk-chiffon front overlay details. To add contrast to the layers, pair with sleek skinny pants and simple nude pumps. To go with the flow, pair with wide-leg trousers.

Looking for the ideal stovepipe trousers to wear on multiple festive occasions? Hitting perfectly at the ankle, 3.1 Phillip Lim’s pants boast clean, straight-leg lines. Style these white trousers with a cream cable-knit turtleneck sweater or a white T-shirt and Viktor & Rolf’s trench coat for an enchanting ensemble.

Pency Standard’s knotted, thigh-length skirt can be matched with just about any holiday attire. This jersey skirt can be dressed up or down with a change of shoes. Keep the skirt mellow with a white long-sleeve thermal half tucked in and a pair of biker flat boots ideal for endless hours at the mall. To elevate the skirt to the next level, pair with a shimmery, pale silver top and silver sandals.
