You’ve been waiting all winter, eyeing your favourite white jeans, neatly folded and calling your name. Now that Spring is here, what are the rules? Do you follow the age old: no white before Easter or after Labor Day? Or do you break all the rules and suit yourself up like a blinding supernova as soon as the crocuses peek thru the earth? We have tips from our fashion insiders:

Ways to work white:

• White jeans with a darker top

Michael Kors at www.NeimanMarcus.com

• White man-tailored shirt with beige pants or chocolate brown-think Katherine Hepburn

• White jackets with darker hued pants-so chic with a metallic bag

• Mix white and winter white

• Fresh spring dresses that incorporate white with splashes of color or bold black and white prints

Avoid:

• White shoes, til the weather is warmer

• Head-to-toe white, NYC is tough on white in general, but with warmer months, if you’re brave enough, head-to-toe white is chic. Otherwise, save it for the Hamptons!

• White tights (unless you’re under 11 or starring in Swan Lake)

White Hot Accessories:

• Chic white bags and White belts as accents

D&G and Prada bags at www.bergdorfgoodman.com
