Capsule Wardrobe - White Trousers
As the summer sun rolls in one item of clothing on the top of the list of essentials should be a pair of crisp, slim white trousers. The white trouser brings a great versatility and is a good alternative to the standard blue denim for S/S '12.
Although the look often has connotations of only being seen on the more macho Western or Southern European male living in the Greek Islands or French Rivera, the white trouser can actually be interchanged into a numerous variation of looks. One look below shows a more youtful way to wear them - teamed with the on trend retro sweatshirt and worn with hi-top trainers. The ease of white is that it can work with a range of palettes - pastels, navy, grey, black, orange and yellow are all perfect colour matches.
White trousers not only look great against the backdrop of a clear, bright day but they will be much cooler in the sun, as the light colour will reflect heat and not retain it like a darker hue would.
They are also a timeless piece of clothing which have been around for decades and are really not a 'season trend' item of clothing, meaning your money won't go to waste if you do decide to opt for a designer brand. You may have already concluded that they are not that practical in comparison to blue jeans for Britain, and I can't really defend this from my past experiences - you can't eat a chocolate bar when wearing them, so if your on a diet that might be a good reason to start wearing them more often - I've also carelessly decided to wear them on a rainy day running to work, resulting in splash marks on the back of my legs - so I guess my top tip is to plan in advance when you do decide to wear them.
The good thing about getting stains on whites is that they are lot easier to remove than coloured clothes - when my whites get a little dulled out I often soak them in a bucket of lukewarm water with a little added bleach and they come out looking as gleaming as when I first bought them.
The white trouser may not be totally practical but they are definitely versatile...so here are 12 looks to persuade you to get yourself a pair this summer.
