When it comes to ultrachic outfits this time of year, Winter white is one of our favorite formulas. Every time, the result is clean, crisp, and super polished in the form of knits, tailored separates, and dresses. The thing about head-to-toe white, cream, or ecru, though? It can be stressful (coffee spills and food stains are a too-real reality). To rid you of said stress, icy pastels are a sweet color trend to try as an alternative this Fall and Winter. A trend we've incorporated into the latest POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [1] via superpretty sweaters like the POPSUGAR Fluffy Pointelle Sweater [2] ($40, originally $50).
Riffing off the concept of Winter white, our Content Director of Fashion and Shop Hannah Weil McKinley [3] styled the open-weave knit with a pair of tailored white pants [4] and punctuated her outfit with modern accessories in light, neutral colors. The result? A sweet, sophisticated, and superfeminine look for the office.
We also love this outfit as an unexpected take on holiday dressing (believe it or not, you don't have to wear red and green, sequins, or metallics to every function). In place of the tan sandals, try a pair of festive heels [5] in gold, silver, or rose gold. Then, sub the cute coin necklace for chunky gold or rhinestone jewelry for a bigger statement.
Ahead, check out Hannah's trendy sweater outfit and shop all the pieces you need to re-create it on your own (I've included her exact items plus affordable alternatives!). Then, be sure to check back as we continue to bring you more easy outfit formulas [6], from leopard-print coat outfits [7] to trendy leather looks [8] and the coolest ways to style simple sweaters [9] and pretty slip skirts [10].
