White Clothing Care Tips- You Don’t Have To Marry the Drycleaner (if you don’t want too)

White denim and leather jacket at Shopbop
White Day at FocusOnStyle continues! The white clothing trend is certainly gorgeous with the likes of earlier posts about Acne and Comme des Garcons all seeing the white of day this spring. But if you are like me, you'll be questioning how much wear you will really get out of the big ticket items when keeping white clean and pristine can be an issue. We've talked about how to remove yucky yellow deodorant stains- if only I could spritz on that guy in front of me at the gym. White Brite laundry whitener And as far as keeping white jeans-- like the JBrand jacket from Shopbop pictured above-- T-Shirts and tighty-whities not looking dingy, I prefer a dash of White Brite in the

Style advice to wear white jeans (in any size) inspired by Emanuelle Alt- beauty tips too!

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
We can't quite get white jeans out of our minds since watching Emanuelle Alt, the editor of VOGUE  Paris jump around and do the best karaoke cover of WHAM's Wake Me Up Before You Go Go in a promo video for the magazine earlier this week.  We've coveted Alt's rocker-esque update of French chic since day one and,  in this video, what shows the most is her  joie de vivre that makes anything she wears instantly cool. Thus reinstating the fashion truism that you can wear (almost) anything as long as you are confident and have fun with it.   White jeans can be a tricky affair to pull off, but Brad Boles has been sizing up body types and shares his thoughts, with

Best of Red Carpet Fashion- Screen Actor’s Guild Awards

Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci
Another Sunday, another awards show. The Screen Actor's Guide Awards is a bit different from the rest because attending actors don't try to ridiculously outdo on another as with the Oscars, or add the extra zing as with the Golden Globes. The SAG Awards is as low-key as a red carpet can get, and with that comes some of the most elegant, prettiest dresses that don't 'wear' the wearer... in other words, more class, less schmaltz. MORE: Red Carpet We've highlighted some of the best dressed from last night's awards as an inspiration board of trends for you to think about the next time you REALLY need to go formal. This isn't about fantasy, or novelty, but  about pretty, chic dresses with actresses looking modern,

Megan Fox gets white right and puts some edge in her Grecian gown…

How to wear the hot summer one-shoulder trend Megan Fox gets white right and puts some edge in her Grecian gown...How to wear the hot summer one-shoulder trend There's in no doubt that Megan Foxis a gorgeous wow of a sexpot with a twist to the edgy-- see mega Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her forearm. But what is really outstanding is the way that she rocked her white one-shoulder Grecian gown by Kaufman Franco at the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen premiere. A white one-shoulder gown can get a bit prom if not cut in just the right way. Megan's was modern, fresh, and impeccably styled in a very downtown meets glam way. Note the rather rad addition of a

I’ll Have What She’s Having: Madonna in menswear whites

Tailored, chic and an all white look you will want to try… I am not really a fan of photos of celebs taken when they are doing private things. But in Madonna’s case her life is like a breadcrumb trail in anticipation of her next great event. Seen leaving Saturday Kabbalah Services in New York this weekend, Madonna was spotted wearing an exceptional menswear look in traditional Kabbalah white. Too much of a fashionably good thing can be difficult to pull off. Both menswear can be tricky to wear without looking like a dragking and all white can be difficult to manage without looking like Nurse Ratchet, but Madonna knows how to get it right– timing and style should really

How to wear white in the winter

Winter Whites… Can you really wear a white dress in January? Hi! First off...LOVE YOU! Quick question-- it is currently the month of January, so the middle of the winter. Going along with the whole "don't wear white after Labor Day" thought, can you reallywear a white dress after Labor Day? I'm thinking about wearing a white dress with black buttons, a black belt, black tights, and black pumps. Is this okay? (Geismar, LA) Ah thanks, I love those who love me too (big wink)… LOL! White worn in the winter is more about its fabric rather than its shade, and, of course, the climate. It can be just the right color to transition you into spring or to brighten up
