Summer Fashion 2010: How to Wear White Pants
The Right Underwear Is Essential When Wearing White Pants
Panty lines tend to show under white pants if you are not careful. For that reason, it is essential to choose the right undergarment to wear under your white pants. My pick for the best underwear to wear with white pants are theSpanx "slim cognito control panty" in nude.
Don't Wear Your White Pants Too Tight
Unlike black pants, white pants are not slimming. Wearing your white pants too tight tends to emphasize any bulges you may have and is not a flattering look. I normally recommend buying white pants in a size larger than your normal size. You do not want to wear white pants that you need to struggle to get into.
White Pants are Most Flattering on the Thin
This goes along with what I said above, white pants are not forgiving and if you are on the heavy side, or if you are pear shaped you may want to skip wearing white pants altogether. Keep in mind that the best fashion trends are those that look good on you and sadly white pants often do not look good on those with too many curves.
Best White Pants for Summer 2010
While white pants are always stylish for summer, the styles tend to change each year. The most stylish white pants for summer 2010 are those that are slim fitted and cropped at the ankle, or those with an extra wide leg. Here are three must-have white pants for summer 2010.
Joie Bright White Canvas 'Nyala' Wide Leg Pants
Wide legged white pants are one of the hottest looks for summer. This pair by designer Joie is a great choice for white pants. These white pants have a retail price of $188 but they are currently on sale on Bluefly.com for a low $69.99. They look great when paired with stylish flat shoes and a navy and white nautical cardigan like this cropped cardigan featured at Forever 21 for just $22.80.
Michael by Michael Kors Gold Lock Key Crop Ankle Jean
These white jeans from Michael by Michael Kors are a stylish choice for summer. White jeans look great when paired with a floral chiffon top. Forever 21 is a great place to head for cute summer tops, like this dainty chiffon floral top, which is priced under $20.
Classic White Linen Trousers by John Lewis
Every woman, who can wear white pants, should have a pair of classic white trousers in her closet. My classic white pants are one of my summer staples. I love to wear white pants with a black tee and sandals for a casual summer look. White pants are easy to dress up. Just add a feminine blouse, like this sheer floral accordion pleat tank by GoJane.com and a pair of heels and you have a great outfit for a summer night out.

Post a CommentGood information, especially the underwear comment. I often wonder if people really see in those rear view mirrors and know what they look like. I don't think so.
Great tips! And that undergarment tip is extremely important!!
I'm the same as Michele and Nancy. :) My white pants usually end up not so fashionably patterned with stains.
I'm with Michelle... white pants are a coffee magnet.
I have to be honest, when I read "How to wear white..." my first thought was "Don't eat in them!" I spill everything, all the time :) cheers!
