Just because we’re obsessed with boys in books doesn’t mean we can’t look hot, sitting on the couch. Introducing: TN does Fashion
When you think of white jeans what comes to mind? Well for many of us, we can’t help but be weary of wearing white—seeing as how the phrase “don’t wear white jeans after labor day” pops into many of our minds. Not only that, when it’s that time of the month you feel like you wouldn’t be caught dead in anything white! Don’t worry though; I’m here to give you great tips for wearing white, so even if your Aunt Flo is in town you can enjoy wearing this fashionable pant. So grab a pen and pad and take note of my tips that are white-on trend this season.All White Everything
One of my favorite looks, especially in the warmer months of the year, is wearing white jeans with a white top and white or neutral shoes. Many celebrities have been spotted wearing a white monochromatic look and I think it couldn’t look more sophisticated and chic! The best part about this look is it’s easy to incorporate as little or as much of your personality through accessories because a monochromatic look is essentially the perfect blank canvas. If you want an effortless look pair a fitted white top with white jeans and add on a pair of nude pumps or flats. Throw on a matching bag and belt, and you’re set! JCrew.com features a classic style pair of fitted white skinny jeans that will flatter all figures and last for time to come. Plus, they are a great price for being name brand jeans. These jeans are great for styling a day or night look, what more could you ask for?!
Popping Prints
Regardless of what time of year (or month!), anyone can get away with pairing white pants with a printed top, as long as you choose hues according to the season. If you plan on wearing your favorite white pants in the fall/winter, make sure to opt for cool colored tones. This includes blues, purples, dark greens, grey, etc. Once you remember this tip, the sky is the limit with mixing and matching print options. Whether you want to go for abstract prints, bold stripes, polka dots, or anything other print, it’s all about what makes you feel good. Similarly, spring/summer calls for warm tones such as yellow, red, pink, orange, etc. Nordstrom.com has an amazingly priced white and orange peasant top that I think is an excellent choice for warm weather. This top is cute, the print isn’t too busy, and it’s easy to wear for any occasion.
Bright Additions
Adding a fun pop of color to your white pants is never a bad idea. I love wearing white pants with simple solid colors, like navy or grey, then adding a fun burst of color through my jewelry. If you don’t want to invest in new tops in bright colors, opting for inexpensive trendy jewelry in fun bright colors is the best way to make the most out of your wardrobe. This way, you can stick to basic color schemes and mix up your look with your accessories. I find that this technique makes it easier to invest in good quality classic pieces of clothing, rather than splurging on accessories that are seasonal and may soon not be in style. Emitations.com is one of my go-to sites for affordable, trendy, and chic jewelry. I am obsessed with their statement necklaces. These pieces make it super easy for me to add dashes of color and the pieces they offer compare to the pricey pieces I’ve spotted in designer stores. No matter what you’re looking for, they have a wide array to browse through.
Bold Black & White
One of my all time looks that never gets old, is wearing classic black and white. If you want to effortlessly style your white pants, regardless of day or night, wear them with a black top and jacket, and black shoes and bag. For day, I recommend opting for a black t-shirt and black sneakers. For nighttime, I love a cool leather jacket and black booties. If you are on a budget, Charlotterusse.com features a pair of black ankle booties that resemble designer options, but cost much less. Pair them with your white pants and a leather motorcycle jacket, and you’re ready to hit the town!
Flowy & Relaxed
While I believe most of us can appreciate a perfect pair of fitted skinny jeans, sometimes going in the opposite direction is the just what we need. Opting for a pair of not-so-fitted, flowy or wide-legged white pants offers another flattering option that looks super relaxed. I feel that every fashionista should own a pair of comfortable white linen pants. Not only does this pant style offer you a cute bohemian look that is very much on trend, but they are a great go-to when you’re feeling lazy and still want to look and feel stylish. Macys.com features one of my favorite white linen pants at a price many of us can’t help but smile about—even when PMSing!
I hope that these tips for wearing white pants inspires you to try white this season, and after Labor Day – regardless of the time of month. It’s easy to create a stylish look with white anytime of the year, so make it your own. Wear white however, and whenever you want to; I know I’ll be wearing my favorite pair this season. So join me, get creative and rock your favorite pair the way you prefer!
