Spring/Summer 2011 Trend Report: White Out

Spring/Summer 2011 Trend Report: White Out

The mood: The look was clean and clinical, with all white outfits acting as a stark contrast to the abundance of colour and print in many of the spring/summer collections.

Must haves: From sharp tailored pieces, seen at Stella McCartney and MaxMara, to the loose fitting, casual styles on show at Dolce & Gabanna's almost all white collection had fun with the pure colour as frilly, flirty designs filled the catwalk.

MyDaily tip: If you're going to wear white, don't do things by halves. Embrace the trend and pair white with white.
