How Will You Wear White: For A Night Out

This Hugo Boss skirt is a great pairing for the featured white top in this look. (Hugo Boss has an easier fit than Bailey 44, so if you are between sizes, size down here.) The sleek pencil silhouette is an ideal balance to the pleat details and asymmetrical hem of the top, while the blue floral pattern pops against the simple crisp white. And the soft leafy pattern is a fresh update for the season, creating a look that is just right for anything from a baby shower to a lovely dinner.

To keep the look fun and feminine for a night out, these silver Loeffler Randall sandals are sexy, with a completely wearable heel height – yes! The wavy straps play in to the soft pattern of the skirt and contrast beautifully with the crisp lines of this look's featured top.

Look: White with Neutrals. Once the weather warms up, evenings out can still require a lightweight sweater…especially if it’s this gorgeous silky one from Diane von Furstenberg. DVF is known for her wraps - dresses and sweaters alike - and with the ‘70’s trend in full swing, this timeless staple looks as fresh as ever. The ivory color is flattering for all skin tones and looks gorgeous with other soft neutrals. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up in DVF wrap styles – it gives you a little more fabric to avoid showing too much cleavage, which is especially helpful if you have a larger chest or broader shoulders. You can also add a cami or bodysuit underneath. You will wear this sweater with anything – over a shirtdress for an office look or with high-rise jeans for a more casual look. And for a sophisticated night out look, check out the rest of this look.

These wide leg Theory pants have a higher rise and drapey look that is a posh balance to the slim wrap sweater in this look. Theory is a contemporary fit, but these pants have an easier fit that is just gorgeous on most figures. The fuller leg is really flattering – just be sure to tailor them to just skim the ground for maximum style. Like all fine linen, they look good with a little soft wrinkle to them, so don’t worry about sitting through a long dinner – they’re made for that. The rich flax linen color is just amazing with this creamy white sweater. These pants go up to size 12, so try Barney’s if your size is sold out through the ‘shop it’ button.

The uptown ladylike feel of this sweater and pants combination just calls for the edgy addition of these over-sized costume pearls. Ben-Amun, a line known for statement hand-made jewelry since the ‘80’s, combines sophistication and fashion with this strand. The pearls get larger at the ends and can be worn so many ways. It’s one open strand (not a typical closed necklace loop), so you can wrap it around your neck like a scarf, letting the ends just hang loose; or, you can knot it – click through the ‘shop it’ button to see the alternative views. We are pretty obsessed with these, and not only for this outfit. You’ll love them with a casual t-shirt and jeans or a button down work shirt, too.

Tie the shades of creamy white to deeper beige of this look all together with these Matt Bernson shoes. The heel is a lovely 3 ¼” wearable height with an interesting shape that is broad from the back, narrow from the side. The raffia texture in the heel portion is a beautiful tie-in to the linen of the pants. And we especially like how the neutrals of these sandals don’t exactly match the neutrals of this outfit – they just coordinate, so it doesn’t feel ‘matchy’…just stylishly paired. These shoes comes in whole sizes only – if you are a half size, we suggest sizing up. If your size is sold out through the ‘shop it’ button, try here.

Look: Monochromatic. We cannot say enough great things about this versatile ruana (which is basically a fancy poncho). It is the ideal chic layer for a summer evening in a creamy white luxuriously lightweight cashmere that is the very essence of sophistication. Minnie Rose is known for their classic cashmeres with an updated feel, and this is a piece that anyone can wear.

Keep this look simple with a white (or ivory) tank top underneath. Free People’s seamless tank will stay smoothly tucked in to your jeans and won’t stick to the soft cashmere of the ruana, which could otherwise cause visible bunching. In XS/S or M/L the stretchy fabric and longer length is an ideal layering piece.

Choosing a pair of jeans with a higher rise will ensure your pants meet the bottom of the ruana in this outfit for a polished look. The trouser styling of these contemporary fitting J Brand jeans are our favorite for this look - completely effortless and utterly chic with a wider waist band and concealed front seam pockets that create a clean and incredibly flattering blend of jeans and trousers, ideal for a night out. The flared leg is not only stylish but will make your legs look miles long and give nice balance to the flowing sheer ruana poncho. These are a crisp white, which is so beautiful when paired with the ivory shade of the cashmere. Every woman will look at you and wonder if she can pull this look off, too. (And of course, anyone can, but you don’t need to tell them that.)

These block heels from Joie are the perfect finish to this outfit. It gives you height to show off the flare leg of the jeans that is already so elongating. And if you find yourself milling around outside, you won’t get your heel stuck in the grass. If your size is sold out through the 'shop it' button, Joie's own site has some sizes left, too.
