There are many shades of white and the current trends seen in some apparel and accessories in murkier whites transitioning well into fall.
It's impossible to avoid white totally in any season, including fall and winter.
Every man and woman must dress in the crisp white shirt.
Pure linen is definitely not a fall fabric and a linen-wool or linen-polyester blend might get a few more months as a layering piece, but the color has to be right.
Straw hats, flip-flops and handbags are hallmarks of lazy summer days need to be shelved until spring has sprung.
Snow white pants, purses, dresses, shorts, shoes and hats are summer salutations.
Jewelry, purses and shoes with bamboo are acknowledged during heat.
Unless it's cruise or resort, Hawaiian-inspired, tropical-print shirts and shorts are not to be seen until summer.
Bright citrus colors must be replaced with more subdued colors such as gem tones, berry shades.
Polka dots are vital summer prints.
Designer Alico Roi has also used lots of crisp white and black and washed-out acid colors in her womenswear collection.
