Such a great way to "lighten up" your palette. I hope they work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1556077 Sun, 13 Sep 2015 00:54:48 +0000 Deborah 1556077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting to hear others have their struggles with white jeans too. I am quite excited to go try these on during the week. My black ones are a summer workhorse so these could be the 'one' ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555958 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 20:37:20 +0000 shedev 1555958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm interested in how you will style these.</p> <p>I am going to do a 5 piece for my seasons, summer, winter, and transitional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555929 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 19:52:16 +0000 Anonymous 1555929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've struggled with getting white pants right too, Deborah. Yet it seems worth persevering as when they're right, they really take a look up a notch -- I'm thinking Jackie O style. I can see these looking brilliantly fresh with one of your drapey black tops. </p> <p>My biggest problem with white pants is the transparency factor: It detracts from the chic when you can see seams, pockets, etc, and it's not even about how fitted they are (one of my worst offenders is a loose pair). I hope these work as I look forward to seeing them get your signature styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555894 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 17:52:52 +0000 CocoLion 1555894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a worthy addition to your goal off adding just 5 new pieces to your wardrobe this season. &nbsp;Did you end up keeping the gray coat?</p> <p>I think you will find the white jeans go with so many things. &nbsp;I always pack them on a city trip. &nbsp;While they are a bit impractical for my ranch-dogs-restaurant routine, they add a lot of chic especially to my black clothing.</p> <p>And I think getting this capri length, which reads as more of an ankle pant on us petites, is a great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555883 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 17:00:24 +0000 Elle 1555883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope these work for you. &nbsp;It seems like they would look great with your existing tops. &nbsp;I love the crispness that white brings to an outfit.</p> <p>For me, the problem with white is always watching where I sit (sigh). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555849 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 15:56:20 +0000 unfrumped 1555849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please try them! Great if you can find "the ones" for you. They would work great with all of your high-contrast items; can do black sandals and black toppers, gray, red--all still fitting your color palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555843 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 15:50:41 +0000 Maneera 1555843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these! </p> <p>I share my love for white jeans with my mum While Ankita is the odd one out. I have 3 pairs - skinny, straight leg and bootcut and they get worn ALOT. My mom is one step ahead - she has cropped too </p> <p>I really love white jeans in summer. Somehow, they make my winter-tone tops look summery....the way black or blue jeans simply cannot. Since you also wear a lot of black, grey and navy, and wear high contrast well too, white pants are a FABULOUS pick for you! </p> <p>Hope they fit like a dream and you really really enjoy them. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555798 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 14:25:04 +0000 Angie 1555798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOOOHOOOOOOO</p> <p><b>WHITE JEANS FOR THE WIN.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555794 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 14:22:04 +0000 Anonymous 1555794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about struggling with styling and getting white jeans to look the way you want them to.  Only this past summer was I comfortable with wearing them. I still feel that they are not the most flattering colour to wear on the bottom unless you have a fantastic figure, but I made them work for me (or so I hope they did) by wearing either black, or a soft grey top with them. No bright preppy colours for me - I find that look a little aging and old.  I finally got to the point where I stopped caring about how I looked in them and wore them anyways - they were a godsend this past summer for me.  I don't wear "dress pants" in the summer, and regular blue jeans are too casual for some occasions. White jeans worked. Not pants, but jeans.  White pants I cannot get on board with - my mother wore those   </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555765 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 13:24:58 +0000 dakotacheryl 1555765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I love cropped white pants/jeans...bet you'll wear the heck out of them if the fit/styling is what you hope for!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555750 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 12:57:14 +0000 Suz 1555750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see how you wear these; it would be inspirational.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555746 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 12:52:03 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1555746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really nice!

She was saying how much she wears her white pants in the Summer...and I was thinking that I might go back another day and try some on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/item-2---five-piece-french-wardrobe#post-1555715 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 09:54:36 +0000 Deborah 1555715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Just a quick update... My plan to follow the Five Piece French Wardrobe concept has loosened a little! &nbsp;What can I say!! &nbsp;So it may be more than 5 per season, but I am enjoying putting thought into what I need/want and staying focused on a more minimal wardrobe:) &nbsp;My shopping has absolutely lessened.</p> <p>White pants are something I have flirted with but am yet to get to where I want with them. &nbsp;My mum gave me a slim leg pair she bought for herself but didn't wear. &nbsp;I enjoyed them. &nbsp;They were tailored and a nice slim leg but the quality was average and white not a solid white so I moved them on. &nbsp;Since then I have struggled. &nbsp;I bought a straight leg white denim jean and wore them a couple of times before I moved them on. &nbsp;I then found a really nice pair of white skinny jeans towards the end of late last year but having lost weight, they now read as boyfriend jeans. &nbsp;I have kept them but I want a nice slim leg.</p> <p>So I am considering the ones in #1. &nbsp;The crop version may be ideal given my height and they might just be ankle length on me, otherwise the short length in the same pant should be fine. &nbsp;I have these pants in the short length in black and they are now, I think, onto their 2nd or 3rd Spring summer, so I know they work for me. &nbsp;I will go an try these on during the week and see how the length is.</p> <p>I am really hoping to get a pair of white jeans/pants into regular Spring rotation. &nbsp;I love the look but in the past haven't mastered the styling. &nbsp;I have seen a lot of inspiration shots on Pinterest that encourage me that I can make the white jeans look mine.</p> <p>Will let you know how I go :)</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
