How To Wear White Pants – Summer 2019

Welcome fellas! In today’s video, we’re talking all about white pants, both denim and chinos. Now, I know it might be a bold choice for some of you guys, but stick with me.  I realize that white pants may not be for everyone, but if you’re on the fence about whether or not you should get some, hopefully by the end of this video, you’ll have a better idea on how you can incorporate a pair into your wardrobe. I currently own one pair of white chinos and two pair of white denim that I’ll be using as examples, and I’ll put some links below in the description in case you want to check them out for yourself.

Okay, we’re gonna cover some ground in this video, but first, we have to talk about the fit. It’s critical that your white pants fit well, even more so than your other pants. Because white is bright and bold, any imperfections will be amplified so make sure the pants are slim, tapered to the foot, and not too long. We all know that black is a slimming color, but white is just the opposite, it’s a bulking color. So my bigger friends out there with a little extra junk in the trunk, just proceed with caution.

Next we have to talk about underwear. Wear underwear that’s a close match to your skin tone. Lighter skin guys should definitely avoid dark underwear or anything with bold patterns because everyone will see it, and my darker skin guys should stick with darker neutrals and avoid colors and patterns. If you don’t have anything skin tone, go with light or medium gray, because even white, which would seem like the obvious choice, is also visible.

Now, because white is a bold pick, if you want to tone down the overall brightness of your outfit, go with a darker shirt and shoes. An obvious choice might be to go with black. This looks okay, but it can be a little contrasty on some guys. Instead, go with navy blue or medium gray. The great thing is white goes with anything, so you can throw just about anything at it and you have a good chance of finding a hit.

Let’s talk about the risk factor with wearing white. White will show just about anything it touches, and sometimes that’s a good thing if the rugged look is something you’re going for. But you do have to be aware of the environment and the activities you’re doing that day. I’m probably not wearing white to a backyard BBQ or a football game, but if you’re heading out for brunch or a day of shopping or something, I’d say you’re pretty safe.

Next, let’s talk about the formality. Even when dressed down with a t-shirt and sneakers, white jeans ARE going to be a little more formal than blue jeans, so again, just be aware because people are going to notice your white jeans.

This brings me to my last point, and that’s having confidence. If you’re completely uncomfortable wearing white pants, it’ll show. But if you want to experiment and give it a shot, I think the payoff is absolutely worth it. It’s unexpected, it’s bold, it’s classic and it’s something that not a lot of other guys are willing to do. So it sets you apart from the sea of average blue jeans.

Guys, I’ll see you in just a few days in a brand new post. Thank you very much for being here, I do appreciate it. Bye for now guys, take care.
