The great debate a redhead must face every day—to wear white or not to wear white. Misconceptions about the appearance of fair-skinned beauties in white, unfortunately results in many redheads shying away from the ironically dubbed dirty word of the redhead community—white. As ladies of the rouge hue, we have an advantage—the best natural accessory to complement a white wardrobe—our vivacious locks!

​

Confidence is key to rockin’ winter whites. Here is how to Rock it like a Redhead in white:

​

1. Choose a white leather or faux-leather motorcycle jacket. Structure, structure, structure is key to pulling off the white motorcycle jacket. Try on a variety of styles to see what fit best suits your body type. Catherine Malandrino for DesigNation, exclusively at Kohl’s offers an edgy cut, asymmetrical front zip pearl toned jacket in a quilted texture. Offset your white motorcycle jacket with a colored skinny, such as red, black or pink.

​

2. The cable-knit white sweater. Meenal Mistry, The Wall Street Journal, deflates the no-white-after-Labor Day superstition in, “Extreme Cream Fashion for Fall” reporting, “In some fashionable circles, white jeans are a staple from November to March. (In fact, one could draw a connection between the popularity of white jeans paired with a classic off-white fisherman’s knit and this new cream wave.)” Try a style comparable to Madewell’s Cabel-Knit Sweater in antique cream. For a daring look, go white-on-white, with a straight leg or bootcut denim and off-white cable-knit on top. Texture is essential to pulling off white-on-white; look for lots of texture and weight for your sweater to complement the fisherman’s wharf look.

​

3. The white party dress. With the holiday season approaching, every redhead needs the perfect dress for the festivities. Why not go white this season? Skillfully accessorize your white party dress with statement pieces, such as deep jewel toned earrings or a bold necklace. ModCloth’s All About Evening Dress is a splendid choice for the redhead in search of a festive frock! The intricate lace is a combination of ivory-and-gold, adding dimension. Paired with a gold metallic belt, the daring redhead could even choice to amplify the look with jade heels.

4. The white wool trouser is a redhead fashion staple for winter. For fall and winter, which can easily transition from work-wear to evening-attire. The white wool trouser can be paired with a deep burgundy blouse for a dramatic look or metallics, such as silver for a winter wonderland look. Since the alabaster hue is featured on the bottom portion of your body, even the fairest skinned redheads can feel at ease that her coloring won’t be jeopardized, if paired with a colorful or intricately textured garment on top.
