How to wear a white suit

Keep the layer underneath in one colour: a white silk camisole for evening, a fine black knit for the office. Ivory is kinder than optic white on most skin tones, which is why the Macgraw suit is cut in ivory. Choose shoes in a neutral, nude, black and metallic all work, and keep the bag small. For a wedding, wear the blazer buttoned with nothing underneath; see bridal suits. For a single white jacket with jeans, see white blazers for women.

Caring for a white suit

Dry clean the jacket and trouser together so the colour stays matched, and store them in breathable cotton bags away from light.
