New color trends are giving us a lot to play with. There is chocolate brown’s grand return (Miu Miu, Loewe, and The Row have all been) leaning on the rich hue; merlot and oxblood, red’s alluring older sibling, and for a dash of the unexpected—avocado green. However, now that we’ve overcome the passé disdain for Labor Day rules, winter white has taken the top spot for seasonal dressing. Few tonal looks as chic, and unexpected, as wearing head-to-toe white in the winter, whether you’re embracing the mood for the holiday season or looking to brighten up bleak, breezy days.

Winter white makes a polished statement without having to try hard—especially when you replace tried-and-true cold-weather essentials with buttery, creamy hues. A must-have for the season is the white winter coat, whether it’s a menswear-inspired iteration from The Frankie Shop or a feminine wrap silhouette from Tove. For the office, look to The Row’s virgin wool midi skirt, or Toteme’s scarf sweater, which looks just as good with an evening-ready sequin skirt. Speaking of evening wear, skip the all-black for one night and opt for neck-to-pump white. Khaite’s Bexley dress has an asymmetric hemline to show off Alaïa’s glossy leather pumps. For a more casual afternoon, layer Cos’s tailored shirting beneath an ecru turtleneck, or style Loulou Studio’s ivory sweater dress with a pair of knee-high leather boots. For those finishing touches, lean fully into the monochromatic, or look for polished accessories in black and brown.
This holiday season, and beyond, here are eight winter white outfits to wear all winter long.
Ladylike Leather
Leather skirts are back and look particularly sophisticated when cast in chalk white. Pair yours with Arch4’s chunky cardigan, then add a warmer cream with Loulou Studio’s shearling coat.
The Menswear-Inspired Combo
Menswear notes are always a go-to come winter, and The Frankie Shop’s double-breasted coat is the perfect way to dip your toe in. Embrace those sharp and tailored codes further with a pair of leather loafers from Emme Parsons, and knife-pleated trousers from Mango. All of these pieces are versatile separates as well.
Knitted Daydreams
Every winter wardrobe needs a staple mididress, and Loulou Studio’s can easily be dressed up, or down. For those long days where you need it to be both, pair it with tall leather boots and a creamy coat with a fun detail, like the fanciful fringe found on Mango’s coat.
Weekend Cozy
Off-duty dressing needn’t sacrifice style—you can be just as comfy in a chic cardigan as you could in a sweatsuit. Break up the head-to-toe creams with a suede jacket and brown boots.
Luxe Textures
Pile on the layers with H&M ultra-affordable shaggy coat, Toteme’s turtleneck sweater, and a brushed knitted midiskirt from Lisa Yang. The mix of material is simply delicious.
’Tis the Season
Update the sequins this holiday season with Róhe hand-made sequined skirt, which is layered with organza details. Add an artfully draped sweater, and modern accessories from Khaite and Loulou Studio.
Commuter Chic
What to wear to the office is always on our minds, whether that setting is corporate or creative. This winter, pair your favorite white pieces together, like a slim-fit turtleneck and creamy pencil skirt, to create the ultimate 9-to-5 look. The best part? It can be worn for after-work drinks, or a date.
A Night on the Town
In a sea of monochromatic black, stand out with glossy cream and white. Khaite’s crinkled satin gown has an alluring, draped silhouette that complements Alaïa’s pumps and Tove’s wrap coat so well. Add another texture with Attersee’s soft pouch.
