Barbie Forteza proves that wearing white goes well with every holiday activity you have under your busy schedule this season
Wearing white is something that we tend to shy away from, especially when we are going to be out and about ticking things off in our to-do list. The fear of staining your blank canvas-like outfit will just add one more thing to worry about, and who needs that on a busy day, right? But on the upside, the light color keeps us cool, clean, and creative. Case in point, Barbie Forteza and her series of white outfits.

On several occasions, the Kapuso actress has been spotted wearing this pristine hu in various ways. For someone who is always on-the-go, she proves that white can be a risk you’re willing to take to achieve a simple yet polished look. With that, here are some outfit inspirations from Barbie herself to help us bring white dressing back into our agenda this holiday season.
Day to night friendly
Expecting a booked and busy schedule for the rest of the month? Take it from Barbie to have an outfit that can seamlessly go from day to night. A crips white button down paired with a dress or skirt knows no time bounds. From a long day at work to a fun night out, you can don this look and look effortlessly chic.
Praiseworthy simplicity
Holiday traditions like Simbang Gabi call for outfits that are fuss-free and easy to wear, especially when it’s early in the morning. Having pieces like the actress’ eyelet dress with ruffled sleeves will make your life easier, because you can just throw it in and be ready to go. If wearing white is too plain for you, the key is to look for pieces that have a play on textures or cuts. Another tip is by incorpoating a pop of color via your shoes as seen here with Barbie’s red Hermès Oran sandals.
Errands ready
Shopping gifts, meeting friends, wrapping up work, or going for a much needed me-time? You can do all these with a Barbie-approved vest and shorts combo. Aiming for that balance of smart and casual makes room for so much versatility, making this an outfit you can wear for almost any errand.
House cozy
‘Tis the season that guests will come and go to your houses and fill it with the warmth of company. Whether you’re hosting a chill party or gracing one, opting for the Kapuso star’s ruffled, empire blouse can elevate your cozy look without going over the top.
Party with a twist of cherry
Color layering makes a white base more fun, and red is a go-to option as it screams Christmas. From stained lips to bold stilettos, Forteza makes a statement in white by adding a touch of red to both her outfit and beauty look. As the year almost comes to an end, a little boldness won’t hurt, right?
Glam and merry
Some celebrations go big and go grand at this time of the year, and they do involve some extra effort for dressing up. For a formal holiday event, you can never go wrong with white. Just like Barbie, playing around with texture such as crystals and feathers instantly makes any outfit look glamourous
The afterparty slay
With all out celebrations this time of the year, after parties should no longer come as a surprise. Easily transition from your formal ensemble to your afterparty look by wearing a more dance-floor appropiate version of your previous outfit. Don’t forget to also switch to more playful accessories such as a silver sequined handbag.
