7 Winter-White Outfits NYC and Paris People Are Wearing

The "no white after Labor Day rule" is extremely outdated. Case in point? These extremely sophisticated winter white outfit ideas. If you're feeling a monochrome moment this season, let me convince you to opt for a head-to-toe white ensemble—save for some neutral accessories and coats if you want a bit of contrast.

Here, I rounded up some amazing outfits from the street style stars of Paris and New York City who demonstrate the look as well as similar pieces to shop. From tweed sets to dreamy slip dresses, you'll have no shortage of inspo. Feel free to blend into the snow with these seven winter-white outfits that'll keep you both cozy and chic during these frigid months ahead. 

White Button-Down + Oversize Pants

A crisp button-down shirt tucked into roomy pleated pants looks très effortless. A coat with white borg or shearling lining will help pull everything together, and you can add a sleek belt, pointed flats, and a shoulder bag to finish it off. 

Tweed Blazer + Tweed Mini 

A tweed set is a classic and looks so sophisticated in shades of cream or white. Contrast it with black tights and add beige accessories to stay in the neutral color scheme. 

Statement Slip Dress

Okay, so it might not be the warmest, but you can always throw on a matching wool or faux-faux coat to bundle up if you're outside. This outfit is one to wear if you're planning on being indoors because you'll really want to show it off on its own. 

White Jeans + Buttoned Sweater + Fringe Scarf

In case you needed reminding, there's not simply one shade of white. You have ivory, cream, oatmeal, eggshell—the list goes on. Mix 'em all together with a buttoned sweater, white denim, a scarf, and earmuffs and throw on a beige teddy to complete the cozy vibes. 

Long Coat + Ribbed Turtleneck + Tailored Pants

A dramatic long collared coat over a turtleneck and pleated pants guarantees you'll be the most stylish person on the snow-covered block. T-strap Mary Jane shoes give it a playful look, but you can also add some more heavy-duty boots if the elements call for it. 

Lug-Sole Boots + Fair Isle Sweater + Long Denim Skirt

For a more unexpected combo, pair a Fair Isle sweater that's mostly cream with a long denim skirt. The hemline will cover your legs in chilly temps, and when you add some lug-sole boots into the mix, you'll be prepared for any slipper surface when you venture outside.

Turtleneck + Dress + Headband

Take your spring or summer sleeveless maxi into colder months by layering a turtleneck under it. Throw on a fuzzy headband and a white puffer and you'll look like a certified snow bunny (sans skis, of course).
