When to wear white? That is a hot question in the world of fashion. Historically, white was worn exclusively by the military. And later became a symbol for military support worn before Labor Day. Over time that rule has changed depending on the season you’re in and your location. In the northern United States, the rule for wearing white is reserved for Spring and Summer only. And darker colors are reserved for Fall and Winter. In the south, however, the rule is not so strict. White can be worn year-round due to warmer weather being much more constant. In Naples especially, you’ll see locals wearing white all the time.

Now that you’ve chosen your standout color, accessorizing is the nest step! Choosing the right accessory can make or break an outfit. Beginning with shoes…quality, style, and color are the most important factors. Marilyn’s offers a couture collection from Italy and France and features varying styles to suit your wardrobe needs. If you’re wanting to look tall, closed toe shoes with a point are ideal. If you’re wanting ultimate comfort, a flat or low heel will do. Moving on to jewelry, this is where you can play with color! Marilyn’s collection exudes hues like turquoise, fuchsia, magenta, yellow, orange, and red. Our best advice: choose jewelry that compliments, rather than distracts from your outfit’s colors and fit. Thankfully, white is so versatile just about any color will be perfect! So feel free to go crazy with colors!
