Only if you are a skinny 18 yr old, white linen are ok as long as they are wide leg and not too see-through.

Gobbledigook · 16/05/2007 22:46

I have white trousers, but I have never worn them, been in my wardrobe for years

OggsFrog · 16/05/2007 23:02

Nah.

Blondilocks · 16/05/2007 23:07

White linen trousers can look good.

saythatagain · 17/05/2007 14:05

Where would one buy white linen trousers if you're 5'11ft?

talcycharlesandeddy · 17/05/2007 14:19

i say nay
but only 'cos i'm messy

PandaG · 17/05/2007 14:19

don't know if they are acceptable or not, but I think you would look fab in white linen trousers and tunic tops

bohemianbint · 17/05/2007 14:21

I'm 5'10 and I tend to get my trousers from Next because they have a stupidly long leg option. (On the website though, don'thave much luck in the shop.)

As for white trousers, why not? Assuming we're not talking like capri pants. With stilettos.

ArcticRoll · 17/05/2007 14:22

White flared linen -yes.
White jeans (a la Hurley)-no.

Hulababy · 17/05/2007 14:23

I have some white (and some black ones too) linen wide legged trousers from M&S. Got them from the summer

WelshBoris · 17/05/2007 17:04

Bought gorgeous gorgeous white trousers in New Look, not really linen more cotton?

Anyway, they are perfect wide leg, not see through. I heart them.

franca70 · 17/05/2007 17:08

They sound like what I want welshy!
yes to cotton, wide leg, possibly high wasted trousers. Also in beige/caramel/toffee.
