But with the arrival of good weather—finally!—we’re especially motivated to bring our white jeans and trousers out into the sun. Before we do, though, we did a little investigating to see how everyone is styling the basic this season so they’ll feel the most fresh, modern, and elegant. We scoured street style for inspiration and found a few formulas for how to style white pants for spring 2025. Take note.

When it comes to achieving an elegant look with white pants, we’ve found it is best to lean on straight, clean, and simple lines. But then, how to keep them looking fresh and cool? With a bag that adds a pop of color. Any unexpected tone will do, though yellow, green, and pink are especially on trend this season.

When temperatures start to rise, it’s time to go for white pants in lighter fabrics. It’s also the right time to pull out your favorite sandals from the back of the closet. To turn this combo into a sophisticated duo, all you have to do is add a well-fitted T-shirt, a leather belt, and a brown tote bag to the equation.

#3. White pants + white tank top

The tank top is a basic that goes with nearly everything, though it is instantly elevated when paired with white pants. Add to the ensemble a blazer in a lighter color, like gray, for an even chicer look.

Sparkly gold accessories are great allies when it comes to styling white pants with a top in white or other neutral tone. Keep the outfit itself simple, and instead play with metallics in your shoes, bags, and jewelry to elevate this look, which works well both in and out of the office.
