Are white jeans/trousers EVER "in"?

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 like white dresses with opaque black tights (but rigorously flat shoes). Have I been brainwashed by the wags?

Bonsoir · 08/04/2010 13:56

I will admit to find that a hard look to imagine carrying off, Franca...

Francagoestohollywood · 08/04/2010 14:01

I was convinced it was a very chloe sevigny look...

Nothing to fear from me on any of those counts, Bonsoir! We do get quite a lot of hot days where I live (also in continental Europe). At least, I hope we will...

What I'd really like is a v. plain white shift dress with short sleeves, but I don't think it's a look I can pull off.

Hmm. I see. I think you might have to be Chloé Sevigny to carry off her look - not sure it is very easy to duplicate.

And you don't look anything like her, Franca

DD has a to-die-for loose white dress with shirring and short sleeves, from BonTon... and little flat sandals in natural leather, with tiny bells on them...

Don't I ?
I cut my hair very short, and the other day, in H&M, I got hugged by a Japanese girl, who had mistaken me for her boyfriend... I was obviously flattered, but it is now clear that I resemble a Japanese man, and def not Chloe Sevigny.

Vesela, I found a very lovely black short dress in Zara (which btw I plan to wear at the seaside)

Francagoestohollywood · 08/04/2010 14:13

white dress

vesela · 08/04/2010 14:20

That sounds lovely, Bonsoir...

vesela · 08/04/2010 14:22

Thanks, Franca, I'll have a look - although not sure about short.

at Japanese girl hug!

nothing wrong with White jeans on a nice sunny day whatever age you are as long as they fit well

StuffedFullOfNothing · 08/04/2010 16:39

I think you can prob look good in them IF you have a body so good that time itself slows down for a gawp.

Otherwise nope.

according to the times they are if you spend enough.
