Outfit Inspiration: White Pants

Summer is the perfect time for all things white which is why there is no better time to bust out your white pants than now. Some women are overwhelmed by white pants. They fear that it might get dirty throughout the day or, worse, it might make their legs look not so slim and slender. The latter is because of the common belief that dark colors help make you look slimmer while lighter colors do the opposite. However, white pants can actually be very figure flattering. Here are some tips o n how to wear white pants with slimming results.

TRY FLARED JEANS – if you’re top heavy, a pair of white flared jeans might just be what you need to balance out your figure and look a little more slender and slim. The flared out part of the jeans will help give you a more proportional silhouette while the color white gives your overall outfit cleaner lines and a more streamlined form.

SKINNY STYLE – skinny jeans are called so for a reason and that is because they’re great at making your legs look slimmer. Because of the way they fit, skinny jeans can make your legs look instantly slim – perfect for when you don’t really feel like your best self but still want to look super chic and hot. Pair it up with a figure flattering top and you’re good and ready to make heads turn.

MAKE THAT NUDE HEELS – the nude heels trick has been tried and tested to make you look taller but did you know that aside from that, this styling trick also makes you look slimmer? This is especially true when you wear it with white pants. Make sure to choose a pair of nude heels that come close to the color of your natural skin tone to get optimum results.

ALL WHITE – for a truly sophisticated outfit that’s both slimming and flattering while also being perfect for summer, go all out and do an all white look. A cute white top paired up with crisp white pants will not only make you look gorgeous but slimmer as well. Not to mention, the look is totally on trend right now.

Classic Styles for classy women

Fact: some fashion items have an expiration date. While they might look good on you during your 20’s, they can make you look dated in your 30’s. Get the most out of your closet by choosing these classic style staples that will make you look good at every age, no matter the season.

The Classic Trench Coat

A classic trench coat, hands down, can make you look good at every age. This stylish outerwear looks great with everything – be it a dress or a blouse-and-pants ensemble. In order to make this a timeless piece, choose a neutral color that blends seamlessly with most styles and designs. By doing so, you will not have to buy a trench coat every so often (although nobody’s stopping you from shopping!)

A Simple Black Dress

If you want to look good at every age, then it is essential that you get a simple black dress. Whether you choose an LBD or a midi dress, the color black can make you look impeccably chic. Of course, upgrading your look is a matter of styling your dress accordingly. Fancy, statement accessories are great while you are young, but make a switch towards pearls and precious gold when you get older.

A Tweed Dress

While a tweed dress is favored by older women, this timeless piece can make you look good at every age. Because of its interesting surface and texture, it is best for ladies who want to make a mark – be it at school or at the office. Most importantly, it can help hide your wrinkles – something you cannot stop from appearing when you age.

A Printed Dress

If you want a more playful look, then invest in a bevy of lovely printed dresses. However, avoid prints that only look good at a certain age (i.e. cartoon characters, unless you have the capacity to not grow older.) Just make sure to choose a print or style that transcends the years, especially if you want to look good at every age.

Leather Accessories

For a sophisticated and effortless style, then make sure to invest in leather accessories. These items, after all, can make you look good at every age. Whether it’s a voluminous bag or a cute clutch, leather accessories can add a dash of elegance to your look.

JEANS & SHOES COMBOS

Is there anything more classic than a great pair of jeans? I feel like I could add a blazer and wear that as a uniform anywhere. Jeans go well with just about anything and work for weekends, date nights, and even the office if you know how to style them. But, as always, if you’re going for a certain look, you’ll want to wear the right shoes to go with them. Deciding on the right pair is actually rather easy  as long as you know what vibe you’re looking for. To help you get started, here are some tips to help narrow down your choices for jeans & shoes combos to rock season after season.

BLACK PUMPS – Going for the classic ‘model off duty’ look? A pair of black pumps is sure to look great with any pair of jeans you’re planning to wear – be it skinny ones, bootleg, straight cut or even cropped. Not sure what shoes would look great with that outfit you’re wearing? Black pumps can surely do the trick for you, too.

NUDE HEELS – If you don’t have very long legs and you want to pull off cropped jeans, a pair of nude heels can help you achieve the illusion of longer legs to make it work. Make sure your nude heels match or at least come close to your skin tone to maximize the elongating effect. You can also wear nude heels with jeans that have a rather short hemline.

PRINTED PUMPS – If you’re going for as simpler look and you want your shoes to be the main focus of your outfit, go for printed pumps. These will look fab with basic jeans and a simple top because they will really stand out.

FLIP FLOPS AND FLAT SANDALS – Jeans and flip flops or flat sandals make the perfect combo for an easy summer outfit. Flip flops and flat sandals with jeans are great for when you want to pop by the beach for a walk, for a quick trip to the mall or for running everyday errands.

SNEAKERS – Whether you’re going for a slightly sporty look or a tomboy-ish kind of vibe, a pair of sneakers is definitely your best bet. With regular jeans, your sneakers can lend your outfit just the right hint of that sporty vibe but with full on ripped and distressed pants, you can achieve a really cool tomboy look and ....

BOOTS – You can’t go wrong with a boots-and-jeans combo. Ankle boots are great for summer while taller boots are perfect to pair up with your jeans in winter. Going for that ‘Ride or Die chick’ look? Pair up your jeans with a beat up pair of moto boots. You can also wear cowboy boots with your jeans to get that country princess look. xo
