White pants are admittedly hard to pull off; you have to be extra cautious about what you eat, where you sit, and what kind of undergarments you wear. However, when styled in just the right way, an outfit with white pants can look so sleek and powerful. It’s time to master the art of wearing white pants with these outfits in mind.

Nail the perfect all-white look by adding a neutral handbag and heels. This tidy look is easy to put together and works for all sorts of occasions. You’ll be good to go in no time!

Upgrade your 9-5 work attire by styling white pants with a classic button-up. Take a fashion tip from blogger Jean from Extra Petite and add an extra ladylike touch to your outfit with a feminine belt. 

If you want to bundle up for breezier spring weather while still keeping things clean and minimal, this look is for you. Play with contrast by styling a pair of cropped, fitted white jeans with a chunky, oversized sweater.

As evidenced by blogger Julia Sarinana of Sincerely Jules, an embellished blouse looks great with white jeans. A pair of distressed white jeans is always a good investment as the piece can elevate even the most casual of outfits!

Want to make your cute spring blouse the focal point of your outfit? No problem! Go for an off-the-shoulder or one-shouldered top with some major statement sleeve details. Style them over a slim, fitted pair of white pants to really help your blouse pop.

For a laid-back yet fashion-forward look, slip on some cropped white jeans, flat mules, a suede jacket, and a black hat.

Come sell and shop with us this weekend to find your next white piece!

It’s festival season once again, a favorite time of year for fashionistas to combine their love of music and fashion. Music festivals are well known to be an excuse to show off your style. Months of planning go into the kind of head-to-toe festival looks you wouldn’t necessarily wear in your everyday life. This year, try mixing in pieces that are more practical yet still trendy—you’ll stand out in the crowd with your updated take on festival style.

Don’t be a Coachella cliché this year; change up your look by following these simple dos and don’ts in festival trends.

Don’t: Flower Crowns
I know, I know… Flower crowns are the epitome of music festival fashion. I myself still love a good flower crown when the moment presents itself—I wore one to my baby shower just this past weekend! But it’s time to bid adieu to the ubiquitous music festival flower crown.

Do: A Hat and SPF. 
I don’t mean to sound like your mother (though if you missed it above, I am expecting after all!), but your skin will thank you for wearing a hat and some SPF during a weekend in the desert. Try an athletic-inspired or a wide-brimmed hat to top your festival ensemble.

–

Don’t: Heeled Anything
Heeled ankle booties are a staple of mine and many others no matter the occasion. But let’s be honest: heeled boots—or heels of any kind—are not kind to your feet during those long festival days.

Do: Sneakers and Flats
Sneakers have been trending, and our feet are taking notice and thanking us! Mix up your usual boho look and pair your ensemble with some sneakers or lace-up flats to stay trendy and practical.

–

Don’t: Leather, Suede, and Fur
Y’all… Music festivals are held in the desert. It’s hot! Leave those heavy layers at home and enjoy yourself instead of flirting with heatstroke. Keep these fabrics to accessories like bags.

Do: Breezy Fabrics
Sheer is in, and it’s perfect for staying cool during a weekend in the desert! Layer a lightweight dress or a sheer top over some shorts and a bralette and you’re ready!

If you’re thinking there’s no way to add excitement to your wardrobe with a strict pantsuit dress code, think again! Whether you’re required to show up in one or not, there are plenty of ways to wear one in style. It’s time to add a dose of style to your workday; check out the looks below for new and modern ways to wear a pantsuit.

For a modern twist, a striped pantsuit with a white t-shirt and sneakers has everything you need to feel stylish. Choose a suit with vertical lines for the illusion of height.  

Heading out with friends after work but want to ditch the corporate feel of a pantsuit? Achieve that casual yet put-together look by swapping your blouse out for a graphic t-shirt. 

Commit to an all-white pant suit and pull your outfit together with a pair of brightly-hued heels. As with all head-to-toe white ensembles, make sure to check that your pantsuit isn’t see-through before you head out the door!

Make a statement by embracing a pantsuit in a bold floral pattern. Elevate the look with white accents to recreate this ultimate cool-girl style.

Dress to impress with a pantsuit that been been fitted and tailored to your body. We love how a plaid print and slim fit adds edge to this still-professional pantsuit.

Those who believe the only way to achieve feminine style in the workplace is through dresses and skirts have clearly never seen Annabelle Fleur—of Viva Luxury—rock a black and white pantsuit. This black bowtie and cropped trousers combo is a breath of fresh air!
