Ecru, Cream, Ivory: How to Wear Shades of White This Season
A true ally of warmer temperatures, the white trend of 2021 exudes refinement, versatility, and a certain vision of luxury.
As you've probably noticed, Instagram is looking more and more like "50 Shades of White" these days. There are several reasons for this surge of ecru, cream, and other shades of pearl and ivory. Not only inspired by the optimism that the post-COVID period promises to bring, many designers have turned to the notion of simplicity to send a clear and direct message. Synonymous with peace, freshness, sophistication, and minimalism, white occupied an important place during the Mugler Spring/Summer 2021 show where it was intended to be sculptural, hypnotic, and luminous. Spotted on the catwalks of American designers Brandon Maxwell and Proenza Schouler, not to mention those of Parisian labels Ami and Coperni, white seems to materialize a general desire for purity, as a way of turning a dark page to better write a future full of hope and meaning.
Whether you go for a casual look of sharp-lined tank tops, light jeans, white boyfriend shirts, or a maxi dress, don't forget to bring an extra touch of sophistication by accessorizing with a minimal-chic bag like the Cleo It bag by Prada or the Maillon by YSL, as well as a graphic silk scarf. As for celebrities and expert style, we are inspired by the effortless looks of Californian Hailey Bieber, the feminine-masculine codes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and the chic sense of Tylynn Nguyen. Here, L'OFFICIEL compiles all-white looks to emulate this season, along with seven pieces to shop.
