Hello, minimalism.

It's never a surprise when white comes down Spring runways. It is, however, intriguing when white after white after white looks parade down those catwalks.

Sleek and chic, these paler-than-pale dresses, suits, jackets, and pants are the season's answer to your basic black wardrobe. And with the options available, these are actually flattering. Just be sure to stick to cleanly tailored looks, draped items, and avoid looking too cutesy with eyelet.

From Stella McCartney to Derek Lam to Calvin Klein Collection, we've seen the white.
