19 Fabulous Ideas on How to Wear White Wide Legged Pants

There are some clothing pieces that are notoriously difficult to style. Wide leg pants are one of them. After all, how do you wear them without overwhelming your figure? How do you look chic and not frumpy? Make them white wide-leg pants and the playing field gets even trickier.

Styling Tips

• Wear skin-colored undergarments, not white undergarments. White on white may seem like a smart choice but white undergarments will stand out visibly against your skin if your pants are even remotely sheer.

• If you want to avoid a faux pas, make sure you opt for sturdier or thicker fabrics and avoid sheer materials. Unless, of course, sheer pants is the look you are going for!

• Consider shapewear for extra support. No matter your size or shape, shapewear is a neat trick to hide undergarment lines and create a smooth streamlined look.

• Experiment with the length of your pants. Don’t be afraid of going too long! It can actually look very classy and modern to wear extra-long wide-leg pants with heels.

Need a cute weekend look? How about a casual ensemble you can throw on before hitting up your favorite cafe? This outfit will do the job nicely. Start with your wide-leg pants (not too long) and pair with a white tee featuring your choice of logo, motif, or graphic. We like the soft colors in this one! Alternatively, you can go for a plain white tee-shirt. But that’s not as fun. Next, top off the look with a wide-brimmed felt hat and some comfy flats. Swipe on some red lipstick and you are ready to hit the town!

Got a target run to make? Brunch with your girlfriends? This casual but cute look will fit the bill nicely! Pair a white tee with your wide-leg trousers and add a denim jacket to finish off the look.

If you are looking for style inspiration for a casual look (or maybe you are just a fan of casual looks in general) this cute ensemble will do the trick nicely. Pair a cute t-shirt (in this case, a Captain America tee) with some slim-fitting wide-leg pants. Note the length and the fit around the hips and thighs. This is the best fit when going for a looser top. Next, add some cute accessories like a woven bag and hoop earrings. Lastly, a pair of cute block heels elevate the look and lengthens the leg. Perfection!

↓ 14 – With Puff-Sleeve Top

If you have a holiday party coming up, a fancy dinner date, or a family photoshoot planned, this gorgeous look is a great option. Pair a ruched mock neck top with puffed sleeves with your white pants. Opt for a pair that don’t overwhelm your figure and end right at the ankle. Some simple strappy heels and dangling earrings are the only accessories you need. Lastly, pull up your hair in a pony and let a few pieces fall loose to frame your face. And voila!

↓ 13 – With Camisole and Sandals

For your next vacation look, try this super classy and stylish ensemble. Tuck a camisole into a pair of high-waist paper-bag style pants tied with a tasseled belt. To get a similar look, go for “high water” pants (a hem that hits right at the ankle or above it) and pair them with white sandals. And there you are, a monochromatic vacation look, perfect for boating or lunching on a veranda!

↓ 12 – With White Cropped Sweater

For a trendy and very modern take on the white wide-legged pants, try this Influencer-inspired option. Opt for pants in a drapey material (it’s okay if they are a little long) but make sure they fit snugly around the waist. This high-waist pair is the perfect piece to pair with a cropped sweater. Accessorize with neutral-toned pieces like a creamy beige-pink clutch. We recommend high heels with this outfit, particularly because the pants are on the long side.

↓ 11 – With Cropped Gingham Top

One of the great benefits of wearing a white piece is that you can wear it with pretty much anything. And in this case, we see how different shades of blue can pair beautifully with white wide-leg pants. Start with a white and blue gingham top (or checks) and accessorize with bright blue accessories. A silver-chained purse and electric blue heels are fun and funky and take the look to the next level. Lastly, go for a casually pulled-back pony and add silver jewelry. Note that these close-fitting pants fit perfectly around the waist and hips, and they aren’t so wide throughout the leg that they overwhelm the underlying figure.

↓ 10 – With Fitted Sweater and Loafers

Perfect for the busy college girl or the new college grad, this minimalistic look can be created from a basic budget and on a time crunch. Double-win. An outfit like this says, “I’m here and I’m serious.” Plus, it’s easy to throw together! Simply pair a fitted v-neck sweater with some midrise white jeans that hit right at the ankle. Pair with brown loafers and your choice of jewelry.

↓ 9 – With Loose Sleeveless Top

Black and white are undoubtedly the most famous combinations for some white pants. It’s chic and basic yet infinitely stylish. We love this look for a work event or even dinner while on vacation.

If you are on the petite side and you are feeling daunted by wide-leg pants, here is a great way to wear them without being overwhelmed. Fitted jeans that hit right above the ankle and have a wider leg is the pick for you. Notice the high waist, the fit around the hips, and the loose width around the thighs.
