Hi there, and welcome to today’s blog post on what in the world to wear with white pants. First, let me say that jeans are one of my favorite things to wear. I basically live in them. Once you find the right pair, they’re just so easy to style because they go with most everything. I think white pants and white jeans are actually the same when it comes to what to wear with them.

White jeans, white corduroys, and white pants in general are a fresh alternative to blue jeans throughout the year, including the colder months of the year. Okay, I say white, but I also mean ecru, off white, and even natural or oatmeal color pants. While they’re all versatile and work with similar tops, shoes, and accessories, they may seem intimidating to style! So, today, I’m sharing a roundup of items to wear with white pants. Some of these pieces are eye catching accessories, and others are things like a cardigan that will add the perfect final touch to your look!
What Goes With White Pants
White Button Up
If you’re looking for a reliable outfit, this is it! A white button up with white or cream pants is such a versatile and classic outfit. That’s what I love about classic looks – you can wear them pretty much anywhere. I wore this outfit in early spring last year, so I wore sock tights (these are my favorite) to keep my feet warm. I love the idea of wearing this into the summer with lightweight white pants too. Ballet flats are a great shoe to wear all year, and these mesh ballet flats are always my top choice for when it’s warm! You could also wear sandals to add to the warm weather vibe (and keep your feet cool). My outfit is linked below!
You could definitely wear this top untucked and open for a super relaxed look. I love to wear it like that with this tank top. Or, you can fully tuck in the shirt and show off your belt! Either way, it will be cute with ballet flats, sandals, loafers, or boots.
Fun Sunglasses
Sunglasses are my favorite accessory. They can totally change the vibe of your outfit, and I often wear mine based on my mood! Anyway, you can pretty much wear any sunglasses with white pants. I recently picked up this pair to add a 70s feel to my outfits, and I can’t stop wearing them. I love that they’re a great price point too. Below are some other favorite pairs in all different styles that I would wear with white pants. I own the first two pairs.
Pastel Sweater
Pastels are such a great option to wear with white in the spring, whether you go for a soft pink, a yellow, or light blue. I love how soft pastels look, so they aren’t too bold of a contrast with white pants.
White or Cream Sweater
I love wearing white pants with a white or cream sweater. A short sleeve sweater is a practical and chic option for white pants, especially during transitional seasons like spring and fall. I recently picked up this short sleeve sweater. It’s super cute with jeans, and I love how it looks with white jeans!
This white jeans and cream sweater outfit is under $100, and it’s the perfect casual monochrome look. Click here to see it on me. Or, take a look at this monochrome outfit that I tried on at Sezane, which is for work. These white trousers are absolutely gorgeous, and they’re perfect for the office. They also come in several other colors that would boost your work wardrobe like black, brown, and navy.
Denim Jacket Or Top
A denim jacket is a classic piece that looks so nice with white pants or white jeans! I think it’s just the contrast in the white and denim that look good together. A traditional denim jacket, denim trench coat, or denim blazer are all good options for spring and fall when layers are essential. They work over blouses, t-shirts, or other tops you pair with your white pants! If you’re wearing straight leg or skinny white pants, you could go for a cropped, regular, or an oversized and flowy type of jean jacket. If your jeans or pants are wide-legged, I’d go for a cropped jacket to balance out the amount of fabric.
I also love how many denim tops are available right now because I’ve always thought denim looks so cute with white, whether you wear white jeans or white pants. A gorgeous denim vest also looks so good with jeans. Click here to see a video of that type of outfit on me. (This outfit was gifted to me without any obligation to share).
Neutral Handbag
My Tory Burch bag is probably the bag that I carry the most. I received it as a birthday gift from my family, so I also think about them when I carry it. I love when a favorite piece also has sentimental value. Anyway, neutral handbags will obviously go a long way in your closet. Whether you choose a black, brown, grey, navy, or cream bag, each of these options will pair well with white pants. My exact bag is the first link, but it’s a slightly different leather and color combination.
Leather Belt
The right belt can totally transform a look! I love classic leather belts because they can instantly elevate your outfit. There’s nothing better than having neutral belts that will work with tons of outfits. But, I also love a fun belt to add a pop of color or unique design.
Square Frame Sunglasses
These sunglasses will instantly elevate your white pants outfit! White pants always seem very girly to me, so I love the little bit of edge this style of sunglasses gives to any look. The square frame of this particular pair is unique and feels super chic! I went with the brown pair since it matches the majority of my wardrobe, but the black are also beautiful!
Wrap Coat Or Double Breasted Coat
If you’re wearing white pants during the fall and winter, you might wonder what type of coat to wear to complete your look. A classic, neutral wrap coat or double breasted coat will looks so chic with white pants. This is the most similar coat to the one I’m wearing below, and it’s also by Mango.
Cotton Jacket for Spring and Fall
Cotton jackets are an essential for the spring and the fall when layers are key. They look so cute with white jeans, white pants, or white corduroys. I love the second jacket with the unique floral design.
Bright Tops
These white jeans have been go-to white jeans for warm weather for me. They also look so look nice in the summer with a fun, bright top like my striped linen button up that I wore a different pair of white jeans. While I essentially live in neutrals, tops with bright colors pair really well with white jeans or white trousers.
What Shoes To Wear With White Pants
Picking shoes for your white pants outfit depends on a lot – are you going to work, will you be walking a lot, what top did you choose, etc!
Neutral Leather Loafers
I do think neutral color loafers are a pretty safe bet for most outfits with white jeans. I’ve been living in this cognac pair since I purchased them a few years ago. I’m really impressed with the quality of the shoe, how comfortable they are, and how well they’ve held up with frequent wear. I also love the two tone loafers to go with white jeans because they have white in them, so they help pull together your outfit.
Loafer Boat Shoes
Loafer boat shoes are a huge trend right now, and they’ll look great with white pants. While I’ve been a little skeptical of this trend, I recently saw the first pair I linked below in store, and they are really beautiful. I especially love the light khaki color for spring and summer.
Booties
If you are wondering how to style white pants in the fall, winter, or early spring, I love wearing mine with booties. There is something about the contrast of white pants with booties and the blending of seasons that feels chic to me!
Metallic Flats Or Metallic Sandals
Gold ballet flats or silver ballet flats add a fun detail to any outfit. I love the pair I linked below with a cut out detail. They’re perfect for spring and summer with white pants, and they’re a great price! I was gifted this silver pair (see them on me) last year. I wore them a lot throughout the winter, but I am definitely planning to wear them with my white jeans this spring. While metallic shoes are a lot of fun to wear around the holiday season, they’re versatile and you can definitely wear them throughout the year with white jeans.
I also love metallic sandals with white jeans during sandal seasons. You can wear a white top like a linen t-shirt with white pants, and add metallic sandals for a fun detail.
Two White Pants Outfit Ideas For Work and Weekend
I also wanted to include a couple of white pants outfits. My ecru jeans are perfect to wear all year as they aren’t a super bright white. I’m so excited they’re back in stock! In the other outfit, I’m wearing the most perfect white work trousers with the loafers I mentioned above. Loafers double as dress shoes as well as an elevated casual shoe.
