As someone who only wears shorts when I absolutely have to, I’m always looking for refreshing ways to wear white pants into heavy summer. This look is the answer! Breezy pants with enough structure to look elegant, an easy t-shirts, and simple accessories that pull it all together. Shop the look now.
Drop waist pants can seem intimidating, but they’re such a great way to wear pants without getting too swampy. You have to be able to breathe down there! There are a lot of fabrics and silhouettes to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. Looking for linen? Frank and Eileen’s Wexford linen pants are right here, complete with a cropped hem length. Classic jeans? You can get Mango’s wide-leg jeans for only $70. You want something a little more polished? Madewell’s trouser jean has a drapey fabric but a crisp cut.
A gray t-shirt is an unexpected touch, giving the outfit a little more dimension than if you just wore a white or black one. Make sure it’s not too clingy or stiff of a fabric, like this draped grey jersey shirt from J.Crew or AYR’s tee in their special spa knit blend. If you’re looking to splurge, Leset’s cult-favorite t-shirts are worth every penny.
Black accessories ground the overall look, giving you a bit of cool girl edge. A great belt is one of those pieces I never think about, until I really need one. Go for something timeless, like this rag & bone belt with a modern minimal buckle or J.Crew’s more classic buckle. A black leather flip flop is a step up from your rubber thongs, like this Emme Parsons pair or this Reformation option. Finally, a giant woven leather bag to shlep all your stuff around for the day.
