Spring and summer of 2010 brings full of pleasant surprises, creating inspiring new trends to design collections. There are plenty of trends out there for us to take note. The one that have caught my attention for this summer is the color WHITE. I know most of you will own at least a piece of white clothing and would wear them occasionally, sticking to one at a time. So what’s the big deal with the color white? Well… maybe it’s not much when it’s worn one or two items at a time, but this simple color creates a dramatic appearance when it’s dressed from head to toe correctly! From adolescents to adults, monochromatic colors are appropriate for all ages and almost all types of events.
Okay, before you all envisioning your local streets with deliquents in white tracksuits and oversize tee shirts, I must stress that, this season white is not the color you should avoid like the plague. Free your mind from all the previous misconceptions about all-white being vulgar and cheap. In this summer, let’s get simple, polished and snappy with the purest color around.
The all white trend have attracted many celebrities’ attention, and they are carrying this trend with style. In the photos above, Taeyang is dressed in all-white in the simpliest way, white vest, jeans and sneakers together with a pair of snappy sunglasses. A very good choice for a hot summer’s day but may not suit all occasions and could look absolutely perverse on some. For sure Taeyang looks good in that outfit…Gave him the oppportunity to show off his magnificent body. So how about something more refined?

Wearing all-white can sometimes be a bit daunting and difficult to compliment each item. However, there are a few things you can take into consideration when putting your outfit together.
The all-white trend is about dressing yourself in ALL white from head to toe. So don’t do it by half! The odd silver and black accessories are always welcome to compliment your outfit. You may want to avoid bright contrasting colors that create flashes into the mix as it will distract and ruin the whole outlook…you may be seen like someone mixed a color sock into your white laundry.
Try not to over complicate things by adding lots of layers on. White is the cleanest and simplest of all colors so it’s best to keep to the concept of it. Too many pieces will result looking over done and could run the risk of looking odd, to the point of ghostly. Keep the halloween costumes out of sight please!
So what can we work on to make the all-white outfits looking trendy? You maybe concentrate on the detailing of one key piece. This could be a pair of shoes with perforated (with small holes) detailing or a top with over-sized hood or draped neck. Experiment with different detailing to see what suit you best. This will enhance the all-white look without looking too bland.
The most important thing to the all-white look is to keep all your pieces in the same shade of white. Choose one and stick to it! My personal choice is the pristine crisp white color that when reflected off the sunshine, it hurts people’s eyes. Well…maybe not to the point of hurting others. The kind of white that you see in “washing powder adverts.”
Fashion designers have have created collections of beautiful fashion and in most of their collections, the color white is used continuously. White was always in present in every fashion collections, a timeless color that is favourable to spring and summer. A color that keeps you cool under the sun in all sense. So go ahead and give this all-white trend a go! Oh…be careful with the ketchup bottles.
