New color trends are giving us plenty to play with–chocolate brown’s continued reign, chili-pepper red’s insider appeal, even a whisper of romantic powder pink for those looking to embrace their more feminine side. But now that we’ve long abandoned outdated Labor Day rules, few tonal looks feel as crisp–or as striking–as head-to-toe white in the colder months, whether you’re leaning into holiday glamour or brightening up gray days.
Vogue’s Winter White Wish List:
This season, trade your classic cold-weather staples for creamy, buttery hues: an Aritzia menswear-inspired coat or Aligne’s cozy shearling topper, Ralph Lauren’s fringe-trimmed midiskirt, House of Dagmar’s crisp white jeans, or Banana Republic’s chunky knit. For evening, skip the expected black and embrace neck-to-pump white–Khaite’s slinky maxi dress and Toteme’s sequin two-piece are instant showstoppers (especially when styled with a flash of red via Jude’s patent mules). On more casual afternoons, try Cos’s ivory turtleneck with blue denim or pair Zara’s faux-fur jacket with Christen’s shearling-lined ballet flats and Liffner’s sleek clutch. As far as finishing touches go, keep the accessories in the same color family for impact, or introduce black and brown for subtle contrast.
This holiday season and beyond, consider this your guide to ten winter white outfits worth wearing all winter long.
Head-to-Toe White
Neck-to-pump white has been a cold-weather signature for seasons, but this winter we’re taking the monochrome moment even further–fully committing to head-to-toe ivory. Hats were a major storyline on the FW25 runways (pillbox, newsboy, and even boho-beaded iterations made appearances), making Gigi Burris’s creamy style the perfect starting point. Pair it with Khaite’s slinky white maxi dress and Toteme’s luxe leather trench, then slip into Schutz’s matching kitten heels to drive the all-white look home. Sleek accents from Cos and Staud add just the right amount of character.
Monochromatic Layers
Nothing is quite as important in a winter wardrobe as a second-skin layering essential. Here, turn to Banana Republic’s off-white turtleneck, styled beneath Cos’s transitional quilted jacket and a pair of crisp white jeans from Toteme. Then, let the accessories offer up the contrast: Lié Studio’s black calf-hair belt and sumptuous leather tote, plus Le Scarf’s navy-and-white silk scarf for a final, graphic touch.
Shimmer Shine
Update your go-to sequin set this holiday season with Toteme’s glittering sequined top and matching maxiskirt. Jude’s fire-engine-red mules bring the heat, while Juju Vera’s top-shopped pendant necklace adds an artful flourish. To make the ensemble fully soirée-ready, layer on Loulou de Saison’s plush faux-fur coat and finish with Cult Gaia’s satin evening bag for continued elegance.
Tuxedo Dressing, With a Feminine Twist
Menswear notes are an easy styling trick come winter, and Alaïa’s cummerbund-adorned trousers are the perfect way to dip your toe in. Lean into those sharp, tailored codes with Everlane’s classic Oxford shirt and a pair of shiny leather penny loafers from Cos. Then let a softer side emerge through Liberowe’s fringe-trim jacket, Khaite’s zebra-print handbag, and a pair of dazzling Dorsey earrings.
Commuter Core
What to wear to the office is always top of mind, whether your setting skews corporate or creative. This winter, try pairing your favorite white pieces–a lightweight cashmere crewneck, creamy pleated pants, and off-white mules–for an elevated 9-to-5 uniform. The beauty of the look? It seamlessly carries into after-work drinks or a date. For contrast, layer on Bally’s cropped leather jacket, Liffner’s embellished belt, and A.Emery’s croc-embossed clutch.
Weekend Uniform
Off-duty dressing needn’t sacrifice style–your plain white tee and dark-wash jeans can feel just as considered as a matching sweatsuit. Break up the crisp whites with a chocolate-brown faux-fur coat, shearling-lined black ballet flats, and luxe leather gloves finished in unexpected calf hair. Bonus points if you polish it all off with Liffner’s ivory leather clutch.
Everyday Festive
’Tis the season to dress festively–even during the daytime. Prada’s Fair Isle sweater sets a cozy baseline, while The Row’s lace-trimmed silk skirt keeps things subtly sexy. Add Tibi’s funnel-neck trench coat for effortless ease, then introduce a touch of shine with Zara’s gold-metallic ballet flats and The Row’s brown shoulder bag.
Cozy Cool
Who says choosing cozy can’t look chic? Start with Aligne’s snuggly off-white shearling topper, then team it with Citizens of Humanity’s light-wash jeans and Cos’s fashion-favorite chunky turtleneck. Saint Laurent’s soft-toe sneakers and Comme Si’s cashmere socks make weekend errand-running a breeze, while St. Agni’s crimson red shoulder bag delivers a welcome burst of color on even the bleakest winter days.
Notable Knits
Every winter wardrobe needs a staple midi (or maxi) dress, and The Row’s turtleneck version can be elevated or pared back with ease. For those long days when it needs to do both, pair it with tall leather boots from Staud and Aritzia’s creamy wool coat. Otherwise, layer in a few personality-driven details–think a Cartier Tank watch, sumptuous suede tote, or flattering tortoiseshell sunnies.
Modern Ladylike
Whether you’re headed uptown or sticking to your downtown zip code, embrace a modern ladylike mindset this winter with Ralph Lauren’s fringe-trim midiskirt, Theory’s charming cashmere cardigan, and Chloé’s satin pillbox hat. The cool factor comes through via Christen’s two-toned sock boots, Hunting Season’s leopard-print handbag, and Toteme’s long-strand pearls–a must-have on any insider’s winter white wish list this season.
