How to Look Good in White Pants

There is nothing like a nice pair of crisp white pants to make an outfit pop. White pants are extremely stylish, but they can also be painfully unforgiving. Any lump, crease or curve is noticed when you wear pants as light as the color white. If you are one of the millions of people who do not have a perfect figure, you might think you can never wear white pants. Wrong. This article will show you how a regular, everyday person can not only wear white pants, but look good doing it.

Things You'll Need

• Pantyhose
• Skin-colored underwear
• Shoes with a higher heel
• Tanning lotion

Instructions

1. Wear underwear that matches the color of your skin. Your intuition may tell you that white underwear would go best with white pants. Unfortunately, that is wrong. White underwear is the worst thing to wear with white pants because it shows through very easily. Instead, wear light pinks, beiges and browns, depending on your skin tone.

2. Wear pantyhose over your underwear and under your white pants. White pants are unforgiving. They tend to show every lump on your bottom. Wearing pantyhose smooths your skin and holds it tight against your body.

3. Try on a slightly larger size of white pants than one you would normally wear. Again, white pants are not the outfit to wear when you want form-fitting, skin-tight clothing. You will probably have to go up 1 size in pants to get the pair that don't cling in the wrong places.

4. Rub self-tanning lotion over your legs and feet. When you wear white pants, shorts, and capris, you need to have tanned skin. Pale skin looks hideous with white pants. Although it will take a few hours for the tanning lotion to take effect, it is well worth the wait.

5. Strut around in high-heeled shoes. Black is slimming. White, although it is fashionable, is not so slimming. That means you should do everything else you can to look slim. High-heeled shoes elongate the legs and make them look slimmer.

Tips & Warnings

• If you need self-tanning lotion on your feet, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your rough patches before. This will prevent areas from becoming extra dark compared with the rest of your body.

• Don't wear a pair of white pants that are completely see-through. Always check yourself in a mirror and in natural light before you go out in public.
