How to Style White Pants for the Summer
Needless to say that white pants are a must for the Summer season. Whether they are white jeans, white linen pants or white dressy slacks, white pants provide plenty of styling options while keeping us in tune with the season. When it comes to pants, wide-leg silhouettes are my go-to so naturally I have them in white and love to incorporate them in my Summer time outfit rotation. Here are some ideas on how to wear white pants.
1. Wide-Leg White Pants with a Colorful Shirt
Color-blocking is easily achieved with white and bright colors. For these looks, I aimed for everyday simplicity with a little playfulness. For one of the outfits, I wore white wide-leg linen pants with a yellow blouse and yellow strappy sandals. For the other look, I wore the same white linen pants but with a green blouse and green strappy sandals. Matching the shirt with the shoes makes for playful coordination and a good dose of Summer vibe. These elevated casual looks are versatile and make great Summer office outfits and are also very chic for casual meetups and errands.
2. White Jeans with a Colorful Blazer
I love jeans. And even though l am partial to blue jeans, I like to go for white jeans during the Spring and Summer time. This look began with a "clean slate" by pairing fitted white jeans with a fitted white top. To elevate it and add a touch of color, I added a green longline blazer. Green and white make a beautiful and fresh color combo that oozes all kinds of Summer vibes. This casual outfit is a winner when it comes to looking pulled together without looking too serious.
3. Wide-Leg White Pants with a Blazer
When in doubt, reach for a blazer! This is true in all seasons, Summer included. During the Summer though, you want to reach for a light, breathable blazer that won't have you sweltering under the hot sun. This camel brown blazer has been a favorite since entering my wardrobe this past Spring. It's an oversized linen blazer with a streamlined silhouette and a longline hem. This blazer is a true multi-tasker that can be worn with anything from dresses to jeans or even pants. For this business casual look, I paired the blazer with wide-leg pants, strappy sandals and a wide belt for a tailored fit. If you're into minimalist style, or prefer neutral color palettes, then this is one for your outfit inspiration board!
4. White Pants with Striped Tops
Stripes are everybody's favorite pattern! Even those who aren't really into patterns feel "safe" donning stripes. I have a big collection of striped apparel because I love how classic they are and also the fact that they're easy to pair, even with other patterns if you're into mixing patterns. These looks feature white pants with striped tops. For one of the looks, I opted for white cigarette pants with a striped tee and leopard-print shoes. Mixing and matching the stripe and leopard patterns makes for a creative and distinctive combination. For the other look, I went more business casual by pairing my favorite wide-leg pants with a striped voluminous-sleeve blouse for an everyday statement outfit.
