There's a couple in this <a rel="nofollow" href="http://picvpic.com/fashion101/2016/wear-white-jeans/">article</a> that are nice lyn67 on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669579 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:50:01 +0000 lyn67 1669579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I find the white pant's length flattering  as in  nr .1 and 2, but would like nr 3 a bit longer. 4 is for very casuals, I am not after, but is always practical to have. I've learned to  LOVE white pants for spring and summer here on YLF!:-) Chris987 on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669572 Mon, 30 May 2016 12:36:50 +0000 Chris987 1669572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie yes I would definitely roll the ones in #1 as an option. I still like to have the longer length as an option also. Maybe as I build up more of a collection I will have separate ones in the different lengths but for now I like the versatility of hemmed-long-and-sometimes-rolled..

Don't change anything. I quite like the slacks but prefer them slightly longer. Hem them to just above the ankle bone, perhaps. The effect in #3 has become leg-shortening.

I'm no good with lengths; luckily Angie is. I agree with Rachy and Echo that pants don't have to be tight, especially when it's warm. I also like Lisa's idea.

And thanks on the advice on #3. Angie on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669145 Sun, 29 May 2016 15:03:46 +0000 Angie 1669145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bermudas in #4 are a GREAT fit in the pic. Well done, Chris.  #1 has great potential, although we have to figure out the length. Are they straight legs or bootcuts?  #2 has great potential after hemming. You're after a length a little longer than #3.  Chris987 on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669099 Sun, 29 May 2016 13:13:43 +0000 Chris987 1669099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ BrieN - thanks! That top is one I haven't worn in a while but liking it....some of my absolute favorite tops have come from Anthrop although I often look there and find nothing I want. Echo, you make a good point on not wearing white pants that are too tight... Thanks Lisap, good idea on a longer top although I think the only ones I have are also white.... kellygirl aboslutley! Suz, agree! I'm a big fan of blue any time of year.  I do not like the slacks as-is so I will not wear them unless I at least crop them...and maybe slim a little. Thanks Ledonna! I have never worn the cropped look before this spring but now I'm totally hooked! Sally - I know wh at you mean, although I DO know why it took me so long...poor body image and all that.   Summer, thanks! And yes glad to get these orphans into use.

The second pair look better cropped to my eye, and the shorter length in 3 looks great on you.  So glad you are able to bring these orphans into rotation again. Sally on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669050 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:47:36 +0000 Sally 1669050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like 1, 2 and 4. I think the white pants are very flattering. It took me ages to wear wHite pants. I don't know why as they look so crisp. Ledonna N. on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1669031 Sun, 29 May 2016 07:45:45 +0000 Ledonna N. 1669031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1&2 are my favorite. I like the "crop". Look on you and the Top in 1 Suz on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668945 Sun, 29 May 2016 01:34:12 +0000 Suz 1668945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous!! We are blue and white summer sisters. This is my fave summer colour (or neutral?) combo and it looks fabulous on you!  1, 3, and 4 are flattering and fantastic on you just as they are. For the slacks, do you think you will wear them this way? If not, why not crop them a bit and see if you like them better? No harm in it!  kellygirl on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668928 Sun, 29 May 2016 00:23:37 +0000 kellygirl 1668928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1,3 and 4 are terrific. Love the clam diggers with the Ikat top. So fresh and summery. You have some great bottoms for summer.

I'd just wear a slightly longer top with them - maybe something with an asymetric hem that covers the fly area. Just a thought though .... Echo on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668900 Sat, 28 May 2016 22:53:50 +0000 Echo 1668900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look FABULOUS in white pants! I love all the versions, though the pants in #2 & 3 do look slightly big. However, I often end up buying white pants larger rather than smaller because snug white pants look good on so few people (and I am not one of them!). I'd rather they be a little bit big than a little too small. But as for PPL, I am not an expert. I think the pants look good in #2, but they would be fine cropped, as well.

I really like the combination in #3 -- cropped pants and a shorter top. Well done shopping your closet!!!

Beth Ann thanks to you too!  the pants in 2 and 3 are slightly tapered; narrower at the ankle. Joyce B, yes YAY for free shopping in one's closet! Thanks kkards.... kkards on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668818 Sat, 28 May 2016 17:37:53 +0000 kkards 1668818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do they flatter.....yes they do. I'm no help on pant length, as I struggle with that as well, so I'll leave that to the experts. Joyce B on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668809 Sat, 28 May 2016 17:15:12 +0000 Joyce B 1668809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like all of them on you, I think you will enjoy wearing them. At least you didn't have to go shopping for them! Beth Ann on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668806 Sat, 28 May 2016 17:06:07 +0000 Beth Ann 1668806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You're well on your way to making white pants a fab Summer staple.  I think #1 is great just as it is -- good proportions.  Are the pants staight leg, or a slight flare?  That will help determine length.   I think the pants are very nice -- but perhaps a bit short?   giving them a deliberate crop, and maybe a bit of taper, might help you enjoy wearing them. Also, you might try lower contrast in the colors with the top, or pairing with a woven op. I like the "clam diggers!"  This outfit is perfect for an outdoor party on a warm day.  I like a bold print in high temps --- no worry about looking droopy and sweaty. rachylou on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668805 Sat, 28 May 2016 17:02:27 +0000 rachylou 1668805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great combos! I do think the pants seem a wee bit big. But pants are so difficult to fit, for summer casual I don't worry about it. MTBGirl on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668788 Sat, 28 May 2016 16:22:16 +0000 MTBGirl 1668788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I really like #1! That shirt is lovely on you. Great fit. I think your idea of leaving the jeans long (maybe for with a heel) and sometimes rolling them is smart. You should definitely take a stand with these right away! And often! Stunning! I agree that the pants in 2/3 are better shorter and do look a bit too big on you. I like the long shorts in #4 too. Nice smart casual outfit! Chris987 on "White Pants; Do They Flatter?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-pants-do-they-flatter#post-1668785 Sat, 28 May 2016 16:00:15 +0000 Chris987 1668785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This posting is in preparation for taking a stand with my summer body and wearing white pants for the first time in recent memory. #1 navy top with white jeans. I'm working on hemming them to a longish length and then I can also fold/roll them sometimes. I bought these last summer and NEVER wore them. #2 blue anthrop  top with some white slacks I can't remember ever wearing either. True closet orphans, have no idea when I bought them. I don't like these pants as-is #3 same pants pinned up to a cropped length; I'm thinking they look too big overall and need to have the legs slimmed a bit but the cropped length does look a little better to me than #2 #4 Anthrop  ikat top with white long shorts (not sure what to call this length). I actually wore these once or twice last year, and consider them more shorts than slacks. Would appreciate your comments on fit, proportion, etc etc...and as always PANT LENGTH !!!\ Thanks so much!
