Just like mixing metals, gone are the days when wearing white past Labor Day is considered embarrassingly bad form. In fact, breaking fashion conventions is honestly way cooler than playing it safe. Dark colorways when it's 40 degrees out? In the words of Miranda Priestly, “groundbreaking.”
Wait, do you guys remember when we were 15 and wearing black AND brown was more controversial than Brittany Spears shaving her head? Tragic.
With winter whites in full bloom through the spring, we’ve chatted with up-and-coming style tastemaker Alexa Schimel about her favorite all-white fits. My immediate go-to for all things styling, Alexa has a natural talent for coming up with fun, fresh and incredibly fluent combinations I would have literally never thought of.
Whether it’s a funky vintage find from a Parisian thrift store or a fur jacket paired with a Set Active athleisure set, Alexa’s style is the perfect balance of eclectic and high fashion. She literally looks sick in everything… so you’re equal parts dying to be her and wanting to punch her in the face, LOL. Jokes aside, Alexa represents a next-gen "it-girl," and she isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Below, you can find Alexa's all-white mood board for Q1 and beyond.
