It takes a brave girl to reach for white pants in the winter. In my experience, I start out with a clean slate, but by the time I get home, I’ve usually got a splash of slush up the back of my leg or have managed to hide an entire snow drift under a wide cuff. Who better to turn to than the street style stars for some white pants inspo.
Mother Nature isn’t always kind to the fashion set. Icy cold winds and freezing snow squalls, can turn the task of looking chic into a serious challenge. But when it’s done right, it looks clean and fresh and totally right. It’s so worth the extra load of laundry.
Follow these tips for mastering white in the wintertime.
