It may seem like a difficult style to pull off, only suitable for those who frequent certain environments. But white pants have undergone a makeover and are more street than ever.
Here are our tips for learning how to wear white trousers better.
Wearing white can be a bit of a no-brainer, especially when it comes to the lower half of your body. However, wearing white jeans, chinos, tailored pants, or even shorts is just a matter of following a few simple steps that are foolproof and can keep you wearing white confidently.
This guide will walk you through everything there is to know about white pants, including their style, fit, and tips on how to pair them.
For many people, white pants are considered too risky. It certainly takes a certain style to pull them off successfully, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. And when paired correctly, they create a very clean and crisp style that is guaranteed to be successful. The best thing to do is choose the type of pants that you like. Don’t just throw on an old piece and think you’ll be ready for Wimbledon, that’s not going to happen. There are a variety of white pants on the market, and we’ll tell you about them so you never have to second-guess your style choices again.
Types of Men's White Pants
As we have stated, there are many white pants on the market. Choosing the right pair for you is essential to nailing the look.
Men's Chinos
White chinos are probably the easiest way to wear white pants. They are the perfect balance between casual and formal. You can mix different colors and styles with this type of pants like denim or a pinstriped shirt.
Men's White Jeans
White jeans are a great way to incorporate this color into your wardrobe. Just avoid skinny pants as white is not the most flattering color and you may show more than you want.
The tailored white trousers
With their unparalleled elegance, the white tailored trousers can also be paired informally with unbuttoned, wide-striped shirts or with tailored polo shirts.
The linen trousers
They are definitely more difficult to match, perhaps because of that vintage look. However, fashion designers have brought linen back into fashion for the summer season. To keep an element of trend, we recommend wearing sneakers to make the look more street chic. Avoid tassels at all costs and do not pair them with summer sandals.
The fit
The perfect fit goes a long way in balancing the elegant and the vulgar. When it comes to white pants, it is absolutely essential to take this into consideration.
Shades of white
If you feel uncomfortable wearing a pair of shiny white pants, why not try a pair of pants that embrace shades of white? Pair them with a sockless loafer, a white shirt and a heritage blazer for a sleek and stylish look.
The latest trend
One of the key trends right now is matching tones. White is one of the easiest colors to recreate a monochromatic look. Take inspiration from your wardrobe as you strategically add pieces to your Look. Keep the three-shade rule in mind and work with colors that best suit your personal style and the occasion.
White trousers even in winter
Americans say “Don’t wear white pants after Labor Day,” (around the first week of September) and obviously white is very much associated with the summer season.
However, today more than ever, white and its shades have become very trendy even in winter, with contrasting combinations, thick wools and informal jackets.
Of exceptional elegance.
