Modern Ways to Wear a White Jacket

By: Ask Alison 5 days 7 hours 42 minutes ago
Channel: Beauty Shopping Fashion

Q. Thank you for all the great advice you put in your column. I'm wondering if you can help guide me in the right direction with a white jacket I recently purchased from H&M. It's made of sateen style cotton so it has a subtle sheen to it, it's ivory and it's full length in the sleeves. I love the look and fit of it, but I can't seem to figure out what to pair it with, especially now, in the heat of summer. I sometimes feel like it makes me look like I stepped off the set of Miami Vice or am about to work as a waiter at a cocktail party. What should I do to avoid that look?
-White Jacket Worry

A. To avoid an homage to Crockett and Tubbs, the first step is to avoid wearing your white sateen jacket with pink or pastel t-shirts. Add patterned or rich bright hued solid cotton, voile, or sheer tops underneath and find belts that can be worn over the jacket and cinched at the waist. Collared shirts will also help draw the eye upward and attention away from the sheen of the jacket.

StarGazing: Kate Moss = Suit Perfection

Her personal life may be up in the air, but Kate Moss still manages to pull off this white suit perfectly. This look is so chic, from the very-menswear inspired trousers to the chunky wooden heel and feminine scoop neck tee. But we have to wonder, can this look be pulled off by anyone other than Kate?
