White Christmas: Make like Meghan Markle and Kim K and choose the colour of the moment for your festive outfit

Will we have a white Christmas this year? Although it is probably too early to say when it comes to the weather, you can most certainly dress for a white Christmas as the colour is most certainly fashionable now and is set to be a big colour for spring/summer 2024. If you need inspiration when it comes to wearing white outfits, look no further than A-list celebrities and royalty. 

When Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex recently attended The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit in New York with Prince Harry, she wore a cream/white off the shoulder trouser suit by Altuzarra which she accessorised with heels from the same brand and a vintage choker necklace. She also famously wore an off the shoulder Louis Vuitton white dress in December 2022 when she and Prince Harry received the Ripple of Hope Award, presented by the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights nonprofit organisation. 

The choice of colour for Meghan Markle in December 2022 was significant because of course white symbolises peace. I spoke to style expert Charlotte Broadbent after the event who told me that white was the perfect colour choice for Meghan as “the awards were set up to protect and advance equality, justice and rights.”

From Meghan Markle to Coleen Rooney, Coleen chose a white strapless dress to attend the premiere of her new Disney + documentary recently at The Soho Hotel in London. Again, the choice of white subconsciously might have been deliberate to show the world that she was right in staging a sting operation to find out who was leaking stories to The Sun newspaper. 

Kim Kardashian is another A-list star who opts for white for important occasions. In April 2023, Kim chose a white bias cut John Galliano slip dress with spaghetti straps to the TIME 100 gala in New York. The pop of white contrasted perfectly with the red carpet and made Kim Kardashian stand out for all the right reasons. 

Although the colours red and metallics are normally the go to colours when it comes to Christmas outfits, 2023 should be all about opting for white. And if it doesn't snow, you won't be disappointed becuase you would have made an impact in white when it comes to your outfit.

Don't think for a moment if you do choose white for a festive outfit then you will only wear it at Christmas. On the contrary, white is the colour for spring 2024, so hopefully you will be able to wear it again adn again. According to Women's Wear Daily, "There were monochromatic white looks aplenty int he spring 2024 collections, underscoring messages of lightness and wearability, while still ushering in positive vibes for the season ahead." The key of course is not to opt for anything too 'wintery' otherwise you won't be able to rewear it in the spring.
