Are white jeans/trousers EVER "in"?

[purplepeony]

I have just got 2 lovely tunics from White Stuff in the sale- they would both look goood with white or pale coloured trousers or capris.

Is white a bit naff- especially for an "older" person - but is still a size 10!

I think white linen trousers are timeless- white jeans a bit dodgy if you are of a certain age.

Hmm I'm not a fan of cropped or tight white trousers but a pair of wide legged ones with a litle stripey top can look great

not the answer you wanted though is it?

They will be fine...they look OK on me, and not a lot looks OK on me. I'm just always scared of getting them dirty.

Check out the white company website....the modles there will show you how it's done.

I love white skinny jeans - they look fab and you lot can go away with your liz hurley comments

You're right- white linen might be better- jeans are a bit hot for summer anyway.
The tunic is lovely and thin- green and turquoise but the background is ecru so maybe off-white trews would be better.

Skinny white jeans are in fashion this year, as are very pale denim/stonewash jeans if you are confident you can pull them off!

I used to have a pair of white Levis. I loved them, but they never really recovered from the pint of cider and blackcurrant incident [sigh]

Oh white linen whole different ballgame. Need to be really expensive linen or just look like pj bottoms.

And purple - its an english summer - we'll be lucky to get our boots off.

I have 2 new pairs of white skinnies that I am itching to wear.

I also think they can be very flattering.

God - this could be my subject on mastermind

You can always see peoples pants through white linen.

(has vision of cocolepew arse-watching)

Long yes, cut offs no. Seem to recall a Trinny & Susannah episode when they were v disparaging re cut offs.....small alarm bells ring now when I pick up a pair.

I LOVE THEM
i look fantastic in them

Even worse is when you can't see their pants. Yuk. I can't help but look deaddei, I like to judge

They are just a way of showing off that you have a clean house and clean children.

hmm i cant say that is the case..

I like white linen wide leg trews

and I have a pair of beigey linen trews too

I don't like white jeans though

I have never understood the emotions that white jeans/trousers provoke on MN. I have worn white jeans/trousers in summer all my life and shall continue to do so. They look very nice with summer blouses and sandals and are eminently practical...

In response to thread title, No, never IMO.

T'is springtime, and every single Italian, (except dp because I take care of his wardrobe) is in tight white lycra-d jeans. Old women with saggy brown faces, old men, fat women, young women. Men with builder's arses. Builders.....

Tell you, makes me feel damn good about myself.

As I pointed out to dp as we went for a walk the other day. Just because you can buy them in your size, doesn't mean you should.

I wouldn't call white trews "practical" though

A baaaaaad example

Only if you have legs and an arse like the model in the Reebok shoes ad.

Apart from that, no.

bunny...where did you find that pic of me ??
