Bright White

The question that has often plagued me is: do I wear white pants, or not? White is now considered wearable by etiquette standards given memorial day weekend is upon us. However, it is extremely hard to pull off white pants without revealing too much, or making yourself look huge. There are some styles that if paired with a fun top can be universally trendy. Take a look.....

1. Joe's Jeans- Honey fit This particular cut of jeans in white is super flattering. It fits anyone will a curvy backside and has a bit of a flare which balances proportions well. Paired with a cropped jacket or blazer and a longer silk tank-top, these are a good investment to wear year after year.

2. Free People Jegging I bought a pair of these jeggings in a darker wash and love them. This style in white is meant to be worn with a longer layered top (I don't recommend the short top pictured online) in order to make your legs appear slim and trim. These are really comfortable too.

3. Gap bermuda short If the summer heat prevents you from wearing long pants, these are a great alternative. A bermuda short elongates the leg and provides some upper-thigh coverage. Paired with a bright tank top and gladiator sandals, these would complete a cute casual look.

4. Not Your Daughter's Jeans These jeans literally suck and tuck in all the right places, which can be key when wearing white. I would suggest trying a pair of these on to see how well they flatter your butt and legs.

5. Banana Republic Palazzo Pant If you can't stand fitted white pants, try a loose summer style. These linen pants remind me of the beach and with metallic flats and a fitted colorful top, they are classy and stylish. Just remember to pair a wide legged bottom with a more fitted top to balance your look.
