This summer, I'm all about one thing — comfort — but the last thing I want to do is have to sacrifice a good outfit to achieve that. And outside of tossing on a mini dress and heading out the door, it can feel tough to find a fit that looks and feels good in the blazing summer heat. Enter: white pants. Whether they be linen, drawstring pants, or wide leg cotton trousers, these are the number one most comfortable bottoms to give you that breezy, easy look while still remaining put together. So if you're also a low maintenance girly, like myself, then listen up! I've compiled the perfect list of different white pants for you to choose a pair (or 12) because they're so versatile yet so easy to wear!
Madewell Harlowe Linen Pant
Madewell does such a good job at creating pieces that are trendy and classic, so they easily stay in your wardrobe for years to come! Everything I've purchased from them stays in such good condition because of the quality, and these pants will be no different! You can style them so many different ways for the summer — think vests, oversized button-downs, tank tops, and more!
Caslon Drawstring Linen Pant
These are the perfect beach pant, and they're also on sale, so run to grab them now! I see these super cute drawstring pants styled exactly like above with a button down, sandals, and tote bag filled with some great books for the beach.
UO Amelie Pant
Another great find, and bonus points for these because they're under $50! I love the detail on these pants with the red stripe ties on the drawstring! Urban always has good options on a budget, and these are perfect for all of you cool-girls looking to stay stylish this summer.
H&M Wide Leg White Pants
This H&M pair is great if you're wanting to opt for a more polished look that could be worn to the office, but still want that comfortable all-day wear. They're wide leg pants, so they're likely going to feel like your favorite pair of oversized sweatpants without actually looking like them. And the fact that you can get these in a matching set? A 10/10 for me.
H&M Linen-Blend Pants
If you're not the biggest drawstring pants fan like me (the strings sometimes irritate me, IDK why) then a buttoned-up pant like these will be perfect for you! The linen makes it super breathable and breezy for those hot summer days!
Reformation Alex Linen Pants
I absolutely love Reformation, and I know they can be on the pricier side, but the pieces are always incredibly high quality. I've kept everything I own from them — even 6 years later! They do matching sets so well, and these pants (and this entire set, for that matter) are for all my girls that prefer a more beige-y, cream color of white! I like how the pants are dressed up here with heels, but can also be dressed down with sandals and a t-shirt!
Reformation Alex Linen Stripe Pant
I had to throw in a striped option because they're super trendy right now, alongside #scandigirlsummer! Striped white pants are the Scandinavian cool-girl essential, and I am more than here for it! These also do a great job of elongating the legs and making you appear taller, which we love!
Reformation Crop White Linen Pant
How insanely cute is this matching set?! I'm obsessed with it, and will be adding it to my cart immediately. I love that these pants have slight crop and taper to give a more French-inspired look which is also incredibly flattering.
J.Crew Pleated Pants
Everything about this look is what i'm trying to achieve with my summer style; the white pleated pants, gold statement jewelry, and raffia sandals. The whole look is amazing, but what I want to highlight are these adorable, pleated pants that I didn't know I needed until I saw this exact style. They're oversized without being too baggy, and tapered without being too small. I'm in love!
J. Crew Eyelet White Pants
An absolutely amazing take on white pants that I actually haven't seen before! They have eyelet embroidery details and tassels hanging from the bottom that are oh-so-cute! These are perfect for summer, and incredibly breathable because of the eyelet holes! They're also 20% off for a limited time, so grab them while they're in stock!
Abercrombie Satin White Wide Leg
Everyone needs a pair of satin wide-leg pants in their wardrobe because of how versatile they are! My favorite way to style them are with a basic tank top, sandals, and sweater thrown over my shoulders. It's my go-to summer look and you can achieve it too with this cute pair form Abercrombie!
Abercrombie Sloane Tailored Linen Pants
Another matching set, I know. Can you tell I have a problem? It's not my fault though, because they're just SO incredibly easy to style. You simply grab it and go! All you need to add are accessories and that's it. I love Abercrombie for all their summer pieces lately, they're just killing it. These linen pants will have people thinking you got them specifically tailored to fit you, so definitely add these to your cart!
