Summer is *literally* around the corner so that means it’s white pants season! For the longest time, I avoided white pants and saw them as high maintenance but this year, I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and I have to say that my wardrobe is forever changed.

If you’re lost about how to wear white pants, here are five ideas that you can try out today.

All White

This combo of all whites is a classic for warmer days. White is a color that reflects sunlight so when you pair that with breathable fabrics, you’ve got just about the most cooling outfit available!

Black and White

Monochrome is always a safe bet! Stick with classic white and black for a sleek, chic look. For this outfit, I layered a mini dress under white pants and topped it off with chunky platform shoes. Wear your garments, folks!

Neutrals All-Around

This neutral brown and white gingham top adds interest but isn’t too distracting. Its boxy cut and double lining make for the perfect braless fit. I paired the look with simple mules and honestly, I think this is one of my favorite outfits of the season.

Bold & Colorful Top

Gingham is one of the trendiest patterns this season. While it’s not always a smart idea to follow trends simply just because, I do think that selectively adding trendy items to your wardrobe can help you extend the wearability of some other pieces that you already own. For this look, I styled my thrifted gingham skirt as a top and called it a day. For those who are curious, the skirt has a slit so I simply put it on upside down and tied the two edges of the skirt together.

Swimwear Cover-up

Summertime means hanging out by the beach or pool in swimwear! I paired the white pants with a sage bikini top and then added a simple white button-down for some extra layers against the sun.
