Between temperature changes, fine days and rainy evenings, we always have one certainty when the cold season approaches: white in winter is always a great idea because it is the emblem of refinement and elegance. It is bright, clean, essential: a non-colour that manages to make any look chic, from the most casual to the most elegant.

Total white is one of the strongest trends of winter 2026 and conquers for its ability to create outfits that are minimal but never banal, soft but with impact. When to wear it? Practically immediately to get into the full Natal White mood.

How to create a total white look in winter: the essentials

If you want to impress for the Christmas festivities, go shopping in the city or simply show off an incredible outfit for winter, like a true snow queen, then the choice is to opt for white. In fact, total white looks are back in the spotlight for winter 2026: they can be constructed with little and bring a refined elegance to every look.

Where do we start? Clearly from the coat. The coat, in fact, is the basis of the winter look. The must-haves for 2026 include: cream double-breasted coats; light shearling; ice-coloured down jackets; soft white wool blazers.They immediately give a clean, warm and very elegant vibe. Why do we like them? Because they give a clean, warm and elegant vibe. And let's face it: on their own they characterise an entire look.

Then we move on to create the rest. Let's start with jumpers, the absolute stars of winter 2026. Prefer those in wool, alpaca or cashmere, to have the feeling of always being wrapped in a warm embrace. For the nuances, opt for cream or milk white. The alternative is the white turtleneck, a passe-partout garment to wear under everything. Wear it at the office or in your free time and mix it, for colder days, with an oversize cardigan for a cozy and chic look.

Now let's move on to the lower body. To create a total white look there is only one rule: choose white or very light garments to match everything else. To maintain the palette, and that effect of innate elegance, opt for cream-coloured tailored trousers, very light or white jeans, midi or long skirts, in knit for the day and matt satin for the evening.

Last, but by no means least, are white dresses in wool or knit. Perfect for any occasion and very easy to match with trainers or boots. You can then simply wear your white coat to achieve a total white look with a wow effect with minimal effort.

Space is also given to accessories that can never be missed. For a true total white look, opt for ivory bags, cream scarves and hats, and ice or very light beige boots.The key? Harmony in the shades.

Total white look ideas for this winter

Total white always works, everywhere and in every context, but if you want to create a perfect outfit, then we recommend playing with different textures and materials for a surprising, original and never banal effect. Try, for example, mixing a soft wool jumper with leather trousers, or a satin skirt with a white maxi cardigan. And again, try mixing white jeans with a shearling jacket or playing with different shades of white (milk, butter, cream, ivory, ice).

When to wear total white looks this winter? Practically always. For the office, try pairing your white coat with a turtleneck and tailored trousers. For leisure, on the other hand, aim your coat with a white knit dress and light-coloured boots. If it is formal elegance you are after with your look, then try pairing a turtleneck with a satin skirt. At the weekend, however, make room for comfort: white jeans or leggings with a cozy, wrap-around jumper.
