The first name the pops into your head when you read the title on this fashion funda might be Simi Garewal, and for good reason too! The lady is almost never seen in any other colour. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Classic white is perfect for any occassion -- casual, casual chic, semi-formal, formal, party and every other do, and you can't go far wrong.

The dress Hollywood hottie Ali Larter has on is the perfect blend of impeccable white, pretty shimmer and beautiful tailoring -- no extravagant frills and unneccessary flounces -- the outfit does all the speaking.

However, white can be difficult to maintain -- food stains, dust and yellowing with age are common problems. So, don't pack your wardrobe with white ensembles unless you are willing to spend your savings on drycleaning! Pick up a few, tastefully designed outfits that can be worn to most occassions and you should be good to go!
