You've probably never worn white trousers, right? After all Liz Hurley sort of did terrible murders to the thing, poor lamb. And we never really got that whole sentence, 'No one wears white trousers after Labour Day.'
But white trousers are back. No longer the persona non grata of the denim scene, they are all over the place. There are tailored wool trousers; loose cotton peg-legs; skinny jeans; boyfriend jeans, tracksuit bottoms (yup, tapered) and our personal favourite, white leather trousers. Sort of the naffest and the chicest thing all at once. But how to wear them? As not only are they so liable to stain it's tempting to stay in your duvet all day, but that whole aforementioned naff thing can make them a bit tricksy. So here are some Instagram styling tips to help you figure it all out, just white. #sorrynotsorry.
White leather plus grey tee
Well white leather plus anything, tbh. But ineffably cool Spanish photographer/blogger Berta Bernard makes her Joseph pair look sick with a grey marl tee. So let's go with that.
Oversize it
Good old Leandra. Always offering a fresh spin. Try high-waisted, loose-fit jeans with an oversized white shirt. Add some red lips for a splash of lady.
Add some gingham. It the ground-breaking new print
Irony. But things don't have to be ground-breaking to be awesome, do they? This is very Emmanuelle Alt meets Heidi. Some white jeans, brown sandals an oversized button-down checked shirt. So easy.
White tracksuit bottoms! Yes!
A sentence we never thought we'd write. But when they're tapered, and drawstring and paired with a lace-trim thin rib tank top that was last seen in the 90s... swap the grey cardi for a black tailored blazer and this is loungewear chic* supreme.*
Triple whites
God, forget double whites, triple whites look amazing. Where did she get this sheer-panelled polo neck, for one? And look how perfectly she has layered a white crop top underneath... in her wide-leg wool trousers, this woman is sleeker than we'll ever be. But you know - inspo, and all that.
