[dropcap]I[/dropcap] picked up these off-white linen pants on a whim while I spent one lazy afternoon perusing the mall. I stared at it for a while when I got home thinking about how best to style it. After trying a few different variations, I decided to style it for day and night.

The day look here is paired with a pretty pink lace off shoulder top that gives a feminine feels to these universal pants. To accessorize, I decided to stick with the same color palette but play with textures. Hence, this beautiful faux fur and leather crossbody bag from Aldo. A pair of faux pearl tiered earrings (from H&M) and these gorgeous embellished satin flats (from ZARA) add a touch of glamour to the overall look.

In my trial and error session playing dress up in my bedroom during the wee hours of the night, I discovered 3 important tips to bear in mind for putting together a day outfit with white linen pants that works.

 

1. To elevate these pants as a summer staple,  pair them with a bright and airy colored top. Think baby pinks, light grays, light blues, and whites.
2. Wide leg pants go better with interesting tops like crop tops, fuller tops with a cinched waist or a layered camisole that shows off your shoulders
3. Like any other outfit, Accessorize! to take it to the next level. Add some statement earrings, on-trend bag or sunglasses, whatever floats your boat!
