Do you wear white pants?

We just had a division meeting (~70 people) and at least 4 women were wearing white pants/capris. 

This is a trend (is it a trend?) I don't understand.  White is NOT flattering.

Re: Do you wear white pants?

  • Yes!  Love my white capris/shorts.  :) 
  • 1. I am FAR too large to wear white pants.

    2. If I was NOT far too large then I would LOVE me some white pants.

    3. WTF...you can wear capris?

    Gawd no! I have children. White would never last. Too risky! :-)

    1.  I am FAR to curvy, not in a good way, to wear white pants.

    2. Agree, they look cute on the right body.  I would suspect that kms' dept doesn't have that many people that fit in this category.

    3.  YES! But I rarely do. I only have a couple pairs that would be work acceptable, and according to our fashionista, denim capris aren't on that list. Big Smile

    Edit: TOO curvy. Ack, one of my pet peeves!

    Yes.  You'd honestly be appalled at some of the crap people wear around here.  Sleeveless knit shirts, knit capris (think thin sweat pants), crocs, athletic sandals (Nike flip flops), too short skirts.  It's pretty ridiculous, IMO.

    I'm not a huge capri fan in general but I will wear them on casual Fridays....my khaki/cargo maternity ones :)

    One lady wearing them is super skinny but her's were nearly see-through!  Bad news!  The others are either too old (50's) or too overweight to wear them.  We have probably 8 people that I would think "ok, you can pull that off."

    This brings up another good point.  Proper underwear is a must.

    Agree... I am too curvy, but my cousin wore some when I was in Chicago and they were cute! 

     

  • I have a pair of white capris that are my "skinny pants" for when I lose weight. Other than that I never wear anything white for bottoms. My butt is too big and a lot of stuff is almost see through.
  • I don't wear white pants (because I have toddler twins), but I do wear white jean shorts and LOVE them.  Glamorous Newlywed made some great points about just going for it.

    I pink puffy-paint heart shorts. This is a touchy clothing issue for a lot of women, I know, as shorts aren't always perceived as being the most flattering things on earth. It can be tough to find the right pair, but if you live in a warm climate, the hunt is worth it to find some shorts that you love!

    My personal thoughts on shorts are:

    • I live in TX, where it's over 90 degrees pretty much all year. Shorts happen, no matter the state of my thighs.
    • Pretend you're Goldilocks when shorts shopping... hold out for the pair that is just right.
    • Don't go super-short (jean diaper, anyone).
    • Don't go for super-long bermudas, if you're on the petite side (makes you look even shorter).
    • Try different fabrics - you may hate jean shorts, but a tailored linen pair might do the trick.

     

    I got mine for $30 at Express, and they look equally appropriate with one of my "scruffy cute" casual outfits with minimal make-up as it does with a nicer top and wedges.  You know, assuming I washed them after the sticky fingers and sat on strawberry from the previous wear.

  • I have some but anytime I have ever worn them, my kids get stuff on them. So no, I don't wear them (at least not often.)

  • I'm curvy and own a pair of white capris and LOVE them. Mercy I hope they look as good on me as I think they do. I only wear them on kidless outings. =)

  • I have a pair of white linen pants & I think they're cute. White linen just seems so summery to me.
  • Wearing a pair of white bermuda shorts right now. I think they look good, especially if you are tan. 

    I also have several pairs of white pants (jeans, trousers, dressy trousers) that I think look great with heels.

    I think it gives an outfit a very clean look. But the correct panties ARE a must. One would think white panties, but actually nude colored panties are a must

    I have some natural colored linen pants and I totally agree. So summery and nice. They're so comfy. I love them!
