The cooler months are fast approaching but before you reach for that olive field jacket or that navy mac, consider a lighter approach. White is a much less wintery colour, goes with everything and generally looks ultra modern and cool. So ignore the archaic notion that one can't wear white after Labour Day and hang onto this pure hue throughout the season.
