Dare to Wear: Karlie Kloss' Risky White Pants

In a big way

Wearing white pants, any day of the year, is a risky choice. Period.

Sure, it's still before Labor Day, but life is unpredictable and so is the moment you accidentally pour coffee down your lap. But Karlie Kloss ain't scared! (Exhibit A: her gleaming trousers. Exhibit B: her tall iced latte.)

Ask yourself: are you feeling supermodel confident? If the answer is yes, you're ready...to keep scrolling because wearing white pants is an art and it's time you perfected it.

White pants can be essential to effortless summer style, but it's all about the silhouettes you choose and what you pair them with. A pair like Karlie's fashion-forward, wide-legged pants eliminate any unforgiving properties white pants usually have. If anything, they'll give the illusion of long, lean legs—pair them with sneakers and you've nailed down one cool outfit.

If a wider leg is something you're not yet comfortable with (baby steps, people), try on some white jeans. Tackle warm weather in style by pairing them with a laid-back blouse or basic t-shirt. Sneakers work well with this ensemble as well, but casual ankle strap heels (like these) will set you apart from the rest.
