There are regulars in your wardrobe
And there are guest stars and celebrity guests
If you live in temperate climates
white trousers are a guest star
If you live in tropical climates
white trousers are your resident celebrity guest
Either way
white trousers stand out in our wardrobes
They are so
white
They’re smart clean pristine
but relaxed fun and playful at the same time
Use white trousers
as a marker in the ground
Wear them at the weekend
or change into them on a Friday night
Use them to say
I’m going to relax
enjoy my free time
and dress up to it
I didn’t used to wear white trousers
but then a friend gave me two pairs
and now I love them
They shrink a little in the wash
so when I put them on they are a little snug
but then relax quite quickly
They are fitted round the waist and then flare out
They can be dressed up
twinset
heels in the form of summer wedges
or dressed down
worn with a casual shirt
Your main styling tip with white trousers
is to keep it simple and be relaxed
Don’t go layering on all sorts of random clothes
No
one shirt or
one tee shirt
Don’t get fussy with lots of colours
No
White trousers
and one other colour
It’s all about looking great but being relaxed
Don’t get all fussy with layers
Just one top
Like you’re on holiday
White trousers are a style statement
so don’t ruin the look with thoughtless accessories
So styling tip number two is
If in doubt go without
Not sure whether to wear that necklace
Leave it out
Another bracelet
Leave it out
Styling tip number three
Make each accessory count
Be intentional with what you wear with your white trousers
In the office you can wear lots of small bracelets
or chain necklaces
or discrete earrings
In your white trousers
one chunky bracelet
or two max
One statement necklace
One great summer ring
Styling Tip number four
Enjoy
White trousers are
fun
relaxing
a sign you’re in free time
for living life in
So look forward to wearing them
and pair them with items you love
A favourite cardigan
The top you love that’s a one-off and that you can’t replace
Despite all the
Nos
in this Styling Tip
White trousers are the big
yes
Yes to life
Yes to fun
Yes to dressing up
Yes to summer
Yes to creating your own space in life
and living it fully in the moment
Just say yes
