Just as a black suit is a classic in the colder months, white suits are warm weather staples, adding a dash of cool whimsy to the concept of ‘all buttoned up.’
Whether you’re going for a wide legged version or something cropped and tailored, we have a few suggestions on how you can achieve the look on your own, all at various price points.
$150 or less:
If you’re trying to save your coins, retailers like Mango, ASOS, and White House/Black Market are a good bet. It’s not a bad idea to save on this look, as it can stain easily. Buy a size with a little room, then tailor it to perfection:
$150-$300:
Step it up a notch in cool separates by BCBG Max Azria and even Rachel Zoe:
$300+:
Ball so hard in timeless pieces by brands like Theory, Alice + Olivia, and Elizabeth and James:
Guys, white suits look great on you, too:

I love Rihanna’s and Marlo’s suit.

Marlo looks great. She’s crazy but God knows she has great style.
May 23, 2012 1:28 pm
I really like this look.

Old rihanna style was really, really, really gorgeous!
Now is too trashy..

Lisa Raye in all white is like plastic covered furniture JUST WRONG! I often wonder why people don’t advise her. Hmm… Then again she isn’t the type who appears to be open to suggestions. She knows how she wants to be portrayed “the basic hood chick” Well who am I to judge? I guess there are many women who identify with that back in the day hood swagger.

A white suit is always a staple in my closet, classic and sexy.

Not loving the fit or look of Monica, Lisa or Marlo’s suits.
May 23, 2012 3:19 pm
Marlo looks GREAT! She’s the best outta all of them.
May 23, 2012 3:25 pm
Marlo for the win, although her pants are not fitting right around the hips. Lisa Raye’s suit looks cheap as heck. Stacey Dash rocked a cute white suit last year on Single Ladies.

Rihanna looks absolutely great in her suit! Marlo looks hot as well…white suits should def be a staple…w/a pop of color or neon…

@Crystal yes she did, I recall that as well. I love Marlo and her suit; but what’s with her face? Did something happen?

So over Lisa Raye in white for the past decade! *yawn* she’s really taking this “looking like an angel” too far too long

Lisa Raye’s entire outfit looks CHEAP, Marlo looks great and Monica’s suit does nothing for her slim frame (it may be just the picture)

May 24, 2012 9:34 am
Really miss this old rihanna style <3
Now only s*it.. -.-

Lisa Raye is the go to for an all white look!
May 24, 2012 3:07 pm
Marlo looks greasy! Love the white suits though. Don’t think I can do an all white suit.

Marlo maybe ugly on the inside at times but she looks great on the outside. Rhianna always looks nice in white.
