How to soothe a sunburn

How to look good wearing white By Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Taylor

Juicy Couture founders Skaist-Levy and Taylor wear white year-round.

Many women think white adds more pounds than a pint of Chubby Hubby. But we believe it can make you look crisp, sophisticated, and even svelte.

*Create contrast. All colors work with white. Black and white are classic, and jewel tones look particularly vibrant set against this shade. Pair white jeans with a jade green top, a tailored shirt with a chunky coral or turquoise necklace, or Capris with brightly colored flats.

* Go all the way. Head-to-toe white creates the illusion of lengthoas long as you keep the entire silhouette narrow (think cigarette pants and a slim-cut T-shirt). Make sure the shades match, though. A cream top seems dingy next to pure white pants. And to keep your outfit from looking overly coordinated or like a nurse's uniform, combine textures. Top a cotton eyelet skirt, for example, with a twill blazer.
