If you want to wear white trousers to the office, try these refined combinations. Choose a pair in a light fabric and combine with a simple black t-shirt for a striking balance. Complete the outfit with a strong blazer or coat, block heeled sandals and a statement bag. If you want to be sure not to make any rookie errors, avoid adding any other white items, focusing instead on contrasts.

White trousers are great allies for casual weekend outfits. Opt for a plain white tee, white sneakers and a floral kimono. Then wear on repeat week after week, for a walk to the park with your pup or for an intensive shopping session with friends. Add an extra cool edge to the look by making sure they’re ripped as much as possible!
