Once upon a time, there was a dreaded, overwrought fashion rule that whites, creams, and ivories had to be reserved for a small window of the calendar year (and that small window was summer). I’m here to report, thankfully, that those days are behind us. Now, cold weather is here, and the full spectrum of white hues is fair game, which means it’s time to discuss winter white outfit ideas.
Over the past month, I’ve seen all-white ensembles executed in an array of iterations. From monochrome looks fit for the slopes to standout dresses festive enough for parties, fashion lovers and celebrities alike are embracing the chic neutral for the season, each with their own twist on the aesthetic.
If you need a little help to coax out your inner ice princess, look no further. The ensembles below will give you all the inspiration you need to pull those lighter hues out of hibernation. Ahead, browse some of my favorite white outfits for winter.

Every winter mood board I’ve created thus far features multi-toned elements that creatively pair tones and textures. Whether you’re combining denim and wool, or “eggshell” and “vanilla,” mix and match however your heart desires.
