White Pants You’ll Want to Grab!

I have searched, and bought and returned and stalked influencers to find the perfectpair of white pants.

They can be styled with tanks, blouses, tees, and even cute chunky sweaters in the fall. The hole placement can be a little odd for some, but for me it was fine. I actually purchased 2 pair. I cut about 2.5 inches off of one pair to give them more of a cropped look and left the others their regular length. For reference I’m 5’3.
