...you need white pants.

Who doesn't adore white pants!? They are crisp, classic and for those of us who live in New England, a sure sign of better weather ahead.  Now that Spring is officially here at retail, there's a million choices out there to satisfy your every white pant whim.  But where to start?  The well-outfitted closet has a selection that includes:

Boot Cut Denim - for heels and wedges.  
Skinny leg - for ballet flats and sandals.  
Trousers - for heels and going out.

Here's my take on the best fitting ones out there:

Boot Cut

White Denim Boot cut from J.Crew.  The fit on these are great...not to low.  Classic and perfect with heeled pumps or sandals, nautical sweater or denim shirt.  Done! $98.

Citizens of Humanity, Amber Santorini Mid-Rise Boot Cut, $164 at Neiman Marcus.  As versatile as it is universally flattering, boot-cut denim is a wardrobe essential. These Citizens of Humanity jeans capitalize on that leg-lauding magic with a slightly higher rise, which beautifully contours and conforms to your waist.

Michael Kors does a great job with pants.  I like these lightweight ones with a hint of stretch.  $79.50 at Nordstrom.

From the Gap, 1969 always skinny flood jeans for $45.  Remember when flood pants were a bad thing?

J. Crew says that the Cafe Capri is its "cream of the crop capri".  Crafted in crisp, clean cotton, with a hind of stretch.  $89.50.

Last note:  W by Worth has a fantastic pair of lightweight cotton pants called the 'Nona' that come in white and lots of fun colors.  $199, available from Heather Steele at W by Worth in Wellesley, MA. Jennifer and I both have a pair, and love them!  

Happy shopping for white pants! ~ LB
