Trend Alert: "White Hot"

This spring/winter season, there is one color trend you need to have in your closet: white.

What has been termed as "white hot", the trend involves wearing white from head to toe. According to Express, this can best be done by utilizing different shades and textures of white in the same outfit. This way nothing will look too monotone.

Use the picture above as an example. Both models are wearing white. However, the combination of lengths, materials and slight color variations create a very interesting look.

Pros

White never goes out of style. More likely than not, the pieces you buy for this trend will be able to remain in your closet for a very long time. This means an investment of a larger amount of money will not be wasted.

White is a crisp, clean look. You will look "put together" and, depending on the outfit, more professional.

This color also looks good on most skin tones. Even if you are not tan, this color trend can be open to you if you recognize which shades will wash you out. You may even appear to look more tan!

Cons

White gets dirty easily. Wearing all white out to dinner or drinks can be dangerous. You will need to be more cautious about what is going on around you. The second choice with this matter is to not care at all and do lots of laundry frequently.

There are shades that will not look good on girls who cannot, or do not, tan. This makes the trend a little harder to manage, but if you want the look enough you can certainly find pieces.

The trend is in full swing in Hollywood already. At the Oscars, several stars showed up in white ensembles.

Interestingly, "white hot" is also becoming a desired look in the hair industry. According to Nolasco, platinum is the color to choose for this season.
