Easy Yet Cool Ways To Try Outfits With White Pants This Summer

Summer is a great season to discuss white pants. However, talking about the tips and tricks to pair your white pants is like addressing the elephant in the room. For those believing that white pants are either for French and Italian women to showcase their crisp and clean look or designated only to be worn on Dior runaways, you are all wrong.

Besides that in-and-out of styling and fashion rules, putting on a white pant is all about what makes you look good and feel good just like Emma Stone. However, self-conscious women tend to resist when wearing white pants. Just because it feels like wearing a white neon that attracts the gaze toward your lower body hips and thighs. 

We are not saying that this fear is unreal. Instead, you just need to style your white pant outfit in a way that draws more focus toward your whole outfit and looks equally seamless and flattering. Yet, to create an awesome pair, you have to keep the occasion in your mind. 

So first, find out the right white shade that you have in your closet. Is it truly white, off-white, creamy, vibrant, or more ecru shade? Then analyze the fabric of your white be it cotton, linen, or denim, and its style like skinny, wide, straight, capri, or palazzo. 

The white denim pants are a perfect silhouette to pair with an embellished top, or navy, or black dress shirt. The all-white summer outfits, creating a tailored look by pairing a striped blue shirt and white pants, or trying pastels over white pants are all formal luxury looks that you can try to make the best white pant outfit.

ICYDK, the generations growing during the ’60s and ’70s were told that white pants were only to be worn from Memorial Day through Labour Day. And once summer is over, white pants are retired. So, now it is up to us as Fashion Editors to tell you how to wear white pants on any occasion, be it summer or winter. But this piece of copy is about summer.

This Is How You Can Style White Pants In "Sum"

Outfit #1

Black spaghetti strap top + White high-waisted wide-leg pants + Beige tote bag + Black sunglasses + Beige sandals + Silver necklace

Consider this your reminder that black tops can be worn everywhere, even by the water! Make this style any mood-ready by wearing a sleek black spaghetti strap top with white high-waisted wide-leg pants, sunglasses, sandals, and a beige tote bag.

Outfit #2

White long-sleeve top + White high-waisted wide-leg pants + Black crossbody bag + Black pointed-toe heels

While white outfits definitely embody that out-of-office energy, they can be work-friendly. The key is to find pieces that are professional, such as a long-sleeve top and high-waisted wide-leg pants. You can always make it feel a bit more business casual by styling it with a black crossbody bag and pointed-toe heels.

Outfit #3

White crop top + Olive green cardigan + White cargo pants + Black belt + Black sunglasses + Black and white sneakers

One of the easiest ways to embrace a new color is to start from the ground up. Pair an all-white outfit with olive green accents, such as a cardigan, black and white sneakers, and a black belt. This approach adds a fresh twist to your look while keeping it cohesive.

Outfit #4

Black strapless top + Beige oversized blazer + White high-waisted pants + Black heels + Black sunglasses + Silver necklace

Aren’t you glad you kept scrolling?

Outfit #5

White cut-out top + White high-waisted wide-leg pants + Beige long coat + Beige heels

It’s not just everyday staples that can be elevated through this combination. Case in point: the outfit above. Suiting can feel much sharper when it includes contrasting elements like a beige oversized blazer with white high-waisted pants, especially when worn in the summertime to work.

Outfit #6

Blue striped oversized shirt + White high-waisted wide-leg pants + White sneakers + Black sunglasses

If you’re not ready to embrace a head-to-toe look, start smaller with separates and your tried-and-true outfit formulas. This combination can make even the simplest pairings—such as wide-leg pants, an oversized shirt, and sneakers—more stylish.

Outfit #7

Brown and white striped oversized shirt + White high-waisted pants + Green sneakers + Green pendant necklace

For those days when the weather fluctuates between being too hot and too cold, you’ll likely want to avoid wearing a long-sleeve blazer and jeans. Luckily, the outfit above is a great alternative. By swapping out your usual layers for an oversized shirt and high-waisted pants, you’ll be ready for whatever the day has in store.

Outfit #8

Red short-sleeve blouse + White wide-leg pants + Black sandals + Beige woven handbag

Matching separates aren’t the only simple way to incorporate this style into your closet—enter matching sets into the chat. What’s great about a top-and-pants set is that it will always look polished no matter what color combination you settle on.

Outfit #9

Black and white striped shirt + White wide-leg pants + White vest + Black sandals + Black sunglasses

Sets aren’t just a summertime thing, BTW. If you’re looking for ideas on how to wear stripes year-round, consider the outfit above a great starting point. A matching set can be worn in any season when styled with the right accessories (e.g., sandals in the spring and summer, boots and coats in the fall and winter).

Outfit #10

Gray sleeveless top + White high-waisted wide-leg pants + Beige belt + Beige and white heels + Brown round handbag

While matching sets can make styling simple, they’re not the only solution. In fact, you can get away with mixing and matching items that aren’t a set as long as you keep to a minimal color palette.

Outfit #11

Beige blazer + White tank top + White wide-leg pants + White woven handbag + Black sunglasses + Beige sandals

Use a tailored blazer to balance out the proportions of wide-leg pants, then go the unexpected route with beige sandals (though white sneakers will also work).

Outfit #12

Gray cropped cardigan + White t-shirt + White wide-leg pants + Brown sandals + Black sunglasses + Black shoulder bag

We fell back in love with cropped cardigans recently, and our feelings are just as strong now. As this is a fitted top, keep things relaxed and light on the bottom half with white wide-leg pants.

Outfit #13

Black tank top + Beige high-waisted pants + Black handbag + Black sandals + Black sunglasses

Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best, especially when the temperature rises. The black tank top and beige high-waisted pants duo pairs perfectly with casual black sandals and proves that you can stay cool and stylish this summer.

Outfit #14

White sleeveless vest + White pants + White clutch bag + Beige sandals + Silver necklace

No, we’re still not over white sleeveless vests. Only because we haven’t run out of ways to wear them yet. Polished and put-together, this is a foolproof combination for a summer day or meeting friends in the city for brunch.

Outfit #15

Striped shirt + White high-waisted pants + Black handbag + Barefoot + Silver necklace + Black bracelet

Trying to break your habit of wearing nothing but black? Same. This mix of stripes and white high-waisted pants is definitely one I’m going to recreate.

Outfit #16

Black one-sleeve cut-out top + White high-waisted pants + Black belt + Black pointed heels + Black clutch + Black sunglasses

The quickest way to elevate a look is by pairing a unique black one-sleeve cut-out top with classic white high-waisted pants. Add black pointed heels and a sleek clutch for a very refined finish. Interesting, isn’t.

Outfit #17

Black crop top + White wide-leg pants + Black belt + White vest + Black pointed heels + Gold bracelet + Black sunglasses

The revival of early 2000s fashion might have some considering low-rise pants with crop tops reminiscent of that era’s celebrities. However, while nostalgic outfit photos are enjoyable, wardrobes don’t need to replicate those trends. A modern and more understated approach features a black crop top paired with white wide-leg pants. This combination offers a balanced contrast and a relaxed yet stylish fit.

Outfit #18

Black blazer + White top + White wide-leg pants + Black belt + Black handbag + Black sunglasses

One thing that first stands out about this outfit is how versatile the pieces are. Many items have specific pairs—like a matching set—but they can also work seamlessly with mismatching items. For example, this black blazer and white top paired with white wide-leg pants, which actually belongs to a different set. Though it would look great as a matching set, the combination of black and white feels fresh and effortless.

Outfit #19

Green utility jacket + Black and white striped t-shirt + White wide-leg pants + Black sandals + Straw tote bag

Out of all these stellar outfits, this is the one I’m most excited to re-create. I love the simple elegance, and the look has a relaxed vibe that I’m just obsessed with right now.

Outfit #20

Black crop top + White cargo pants + Black pointed heels + Silver handbag + Black baseball cap + Brown sunglasses

Continuing on the trend of versatile summer outfits, try pairing a black crop top with white cargo pants. This combination is both stylish and functional, perfect for those looking to add a touch of edginess to their summer wardrobe.

Outfit #21

Black off-the-shoulder top + White high-waisted pants + Black belt + Black handbag + Black sunglasses + Black sandals

I’m saving this outfit for short flights when there’s a plan to meet someone shortly after.

Outfit #22

Orange and white striped tank top + White wide-leg pants + Orange round handbag + White sunglasses + Beige sandals

This outfit may be simple, but it’s undeniably stylish. An orange and white striped tank top paired with white wide-leg pants is always a great combination. The addition of a round orange handbag and beige sandals keeps the look cohesive and fresh. White sunglasses complete the ensemble with a perfect summer touch.

Outfit #23

Brown strapless top + White wide-leg pants + White sneakers + Black handbag + Gray bucket hat

Sure to garner compliments.

Outfit #24

Gray sleeveless top + White high-waisted pants + Brown belt + Brown handbag + Black sunglasses

If you needed further proof that a sleeveless top and high-waisted pants are the epitome of summer cool, this outfit will surely sway you. The gray sleeveless top paired with white high-waisted pants is a fresh and stylish combination. The brown belt and handbag add a touch of warmth.

Outfit #25

Pink tweed jacket + White top + White wide-leg pants + White sneakers + Black sunglasses

If you’re heading out for the day or just want to add a stylish layer, a tweed jacket will be your best friend. It just so happens that this trending layer looks great with white wide-leg pants.

Outfit #26

Black and white printed tube top + White high-waisted pants + Blue clutch + Silver necklace

Sporting prints might feel a bit bold, so styling a black and white printed tube top with white high-waisted pants is a smart way to ease into it. This combination creates a balanced look that’s perfect for summer.

Outfit #27

Brown satin shirt + White high-waisted pants + Black shoes

I love this low-key look for a travel day or casual weekend. With the right blazer or jacket, plus a little jewelry, you could dress this outfit up for a lunch meeting or a casual day at the office. Not only is this outfit made up of all of my favorite basics, but I also love how simple yet stylish it is.

Outfit #28

Light pink polo shirt + White high-waisted pants + Brown belt + Brown handbag + Beige sandals + Gold bracelet

It doesn’t get more effortless than this. Choose a light pink polo shirt, pair it with white high-waisted pants, and dress the look up with a brown belt and handbag. Add your favorite beige sandals and finish with a gold bracelet for the perfect summer look. This outfit is ideal for a casual weekend brunch.
