Who says you can’t wear white after Labour Day? The old unwritten rule that white outfits and shoes are only for summer is clearly a thing of the past.

At the 2023 Fashion Awards, held in December in London, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, actress and fearless style icon Pamela Anderson and rapper Stormzy all showed beautifully tailored white and off-white looks that made them stand out amid a sea of sparkly gowns and black tuxedos.

Hamilton’s overcoat, T-shirt and trousers, accessorised with his signature jewellery, came courtesy of British label Wales Bonner, while Stella McCartney, another British designer, was behind the chic cream jacket, also paired with a simple tee and slacks, that Anderson wore.

For a more adventurous take on the all-white tailored trend, look no further than Pink. At the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles in March, the American singer/songwriter looked great in a white blazer with slit sleeves paired with flared pleated trousers and an overskirt, all from London-based, Hong Kong-born designer Robert Wun.

White was also colour of choice for actors Chow Yun-fat and Song Joong-ki, who sported tailored separates at the Louis Vuitton men’s pre-autumn 2024 show held in Hong Kong in December. The collection was designed by recently appointed men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, who took his bow at the end of the runway in a white double-breasted cropped jacket and matching trousers.

For a Christmas event in December last year, Catherine, Princess of Wales, kept warm in a beautiful Alexander McQueen maxi coat worn over a pair of high-waisted wide-leg trousers from affordable British brand Holland Cooper. She even matched her accessories – Gianvito Rossi pumps, a Strathberry bag and Van Cleef & Arpels earrings – to the all-white separates.

White may not be for everyone but if you’re bold enough to try, go all out – you’ll look the life of the party.
