White Done Right For Latinas

By Monica Avila

As the summer heats up in Arizona, I see more and more mujeres out and about wearing all white outfits.  You all know I love to see a Latina with her olive skin garbed in white.  I have got to say though; accessorizing your white outfit is super important and doing it right can be a little tricky.  Here are a couple of tips to help make your white outfit interesting and sizzling hot!

Unexpected Accessories

Pair your white with a pair of ankle boots in a dark brown, like Eva Mendez has (as seen on Outfit Identifier), then add a darker leather belt and some big silver or turquoise jewelry.  Southwestern flair with little glitzy glam…gorgeous!

Simple Silhouette

Layer bangles in a similar finish and add some sparkle at your ears like Selina Gomez (As seen in Instyle).  Keep the accessories in the same hue, like the silver peep toe pumps she’s wearing…perfect and elegant!

Mix Shades and Textures

Silvia Bours is definitely one of my fave designers, and I love the way she mixes cream, white and ivory and textures in her dresses.  It keeps white sweet without letting it be boring.  Here is a beautiful white look from her 2013 Dolls collection. 

No matter how you choose to wear it, white is definitely in for late summer looks.  With Labor Day creeping up fast, get your white outfit in soon.  Snap a pic of you looking sweet and cool in white; upload it to our Facebook page so we can share it with other Latinas looking fab!
