"Kate Beckinsale, Eva Mendes, Miley Cyrus, Sandra Bullock and Jane Krakowski all wore white at the Golden Globes on Sunday, and three of them made my best dressed list, so I&amp;#39;m suddenly feeling a little winter white moment. It&amp;#39;s not the easiest look to pull off, but when it&amp;#39;s done right it has stunningly sophisticated results. Follow my three easy tricks for we mere mortals to wear it, after the jump.\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: 2009 Getty Images\nDress for the season. As you guys recently learned, I can&amp;#39;t stand when people show too much skin in winter or overdo the layers in summer. If you&amp;#39;re going to wear a white dress in winter, pair it with opaque black tights and shoes (like Ginnifer Goodwin recently did, above), or a dark cardigan on top, or even leggings underneath. No tank tops or sundresses allowed.\n\n\nMind your texture. A rich fabric makes all the difference when you&amp;#39;re wearing winter white. Cashmere, wool, tweed, cable knit, angora, even denim and corduroy all have a depth of texture that make them total Dos for winter white. They&amp;#39;re cozy enough that you&amp;#39;ll look pulled together, while light summer fabrics like cotton, linen, or chiffon make you look terribly out of place in chilly January.\n\n\nGo one shade off. Pure white (we&amp;#39;re talking lily, wedding dress, wite-out white) is best left to a time when you&amp;#39;ve got tan legs. Choose a color that&amp;#39;s slightly off-white, in the cream, ivory, or ecru family for maximum winter white effect. Still feeling self-conscious in such a light color? Give it some weight with a chocolate brown boot or a dark leather accessory, so people know you&amp;#39;re aware of what season it is.\n\n&amp;quot;No white after Labor Day&amp;quot; is about as current a rule as &amp;quot;women have to stay home and take care of the house and children.&amp;quot; Things are thankfully a bit more flexible these days, so don&amp;#39;t be afraid to have fun with seasonal dressing. Here are some of my (very affordable!) favorite winter white pieces of the moment:\nHave you guys been wearing winter white? Do you follow these rules? How do you make it work?\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
