TIPS TO COMBINE WHITE PANTS SUCCESSFULLY ON EVERY OCCASION

The combination of white pants depends on each occasion and the effect we are looking for .

Dressing for a formal event is not the same as dressing for a plan with friends.

Therefore, below, we are going to show you different ways to combine white pants successfully, depending on each moment.

HOW TO WEAR WHITE TROUSERS TO A SEMI-FORMAL EVENT?

For semi-formal events such as baptisms or communions, the ideal choice is white pleated trousers or classic chinos, paired with other garments that add an extra touch of sophistication.

White trousers with a striped or light blue dress shirt and a navy blazer are a guaranteed winning choice. The result is a navy & grey look, modern and classy. Complete it with loafers and, if you wish, a cotton tie.

That said, despite their great versatility, white trousers are not suitable for evening events or black-tie occasions, so reserve them only for daytime engagements that are not overly formal.

HOW TO MAKE A CASUAL LOOK WITH WHITE PANTS?

If, on the other hand, you want to wear white trousers for an afternoon with friends and create a casual look, the best choice is white chinos or five-pocket trousers in the same colour, paired with a lightweight knit garment and an overshirt.

An informal shirt or polo shirt and a linen blazer pair perfectly with white trousers, completing the outfit with boat shoes in brown or navy blue.

And if it is a more special occasion in which you want to project a more elegant image, go for a chino trouser in its more premium version to add sophistication to your look. Pair it with a denim shirt and a sport blazer.

TIPS FOR A SPORT LOOK WITH WHITE PANTS

For more casual occasions, you can complete a sporty look with white chinos , combining it with a t-shirt or polo that matches the pants. You will achieve an informal, but classy effect.

Since this is a sporty and informal look, you can dare to complete your style with espadrilles in navy blue or some shade that contrasts with white.

Whatever the occasion, at Silbon we are convinced that white pants improve every look, so, this spring, don't lose sight of these style tips. Bet everything on white!

TRICKS FOR WEARING WHITE PANTS WITH PERSONALITY
