MANHATTAN — White clothes can be spotted on the streets of Manhattan, across all neighborhoods and in infinite variations. From simple tanks, T-shirts and shorts, to classic sundresses and American shirtdresses, whites can be worn in colorful and imaginative ways.

The city's shades of white ranged from bright, reflective white to ghostly and diaphanous oyster and off-white shades.

White flair was spotted on the cobblestone streets of SoHo and the Meatpacking District, and near the chic boutiques of West Village. It's both a practical choice and a fashionable statement.
