White jeans and pants have been floating back into stores for the summer. The white suit, however, is making an appearance on the Spring/Summer 2010 runways via Gucci and Armani—for men!
Many are sporting the look with contrasting black or navy patterned shirts and ties, while others sport an entirely white ensemble. Bold sunglasses with a black belt or canvas bag throw accents like color and pattern into the mix. Others stick with bright white dress pants and a polar opposite patterned shirt—sans jacket.
Women can rock the white suit too. For the office try a cute solid or lightly patterned button-up. Think light stripes. For night, pick out your favorite floral top or boldly colored blouse to wear underneath, and pair it with an accent like a belt and jewelry. Keep in mind, your shoes actually don’t have to match your purse leaving room to play with this trend.
