Black Tie Optional

In Donna Karan’s royal 2010 Fall Collection of mostly dramatic darks, leave it to me to appoint her sole white knight as the crowning glory—today’s ruffled blouse-like bodysuit. A striking bleach-chic option with an exaggerated collar and plunging neckline, it is perfection.

As I have said before and will continue to declare as practically a fashion law—every girl needs a few go-to, clean white tops in their closet. It is best to start with an understated button-up version that can be worn casually, but the next step is to go for the bold with something like today’s over the top Donna Karan bodysuit. Built to achieve an impeccably tucked-in look, it is the definition of sleek. Do not be afraid of its steep neckline and ruffled details, but embrace them as a chance to stand out from the flock. xoRZ
