A Men’s Guide to Wearing White
White clothes are the freshest style statement you can make in the summer. We’ll show you how.
White clothes are synonymous with warm weather, making them perfect to wear now. They create a clean, breezy vibe, and can elevate a basic look into a stylish ensemble. Of course, wearing white can be a challenge if you're not used to it. With a little guidance—and a spin through the picks below—this bright summer statement is as easy to style as the wear-with-anything black staples in your closet. Let’s break it down according to your style preferences.
If your style is more…
Active
Clean white and athleisure go hand-in-hand—try a baseball cap or fresh kicks. Add off-white to the mix with a sporty accessory, like a structured backpack. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a polo.
Relaxed
Ease into wearing white with classic staples that never go out of style. A white tee is the enduring symbol of casual-cool, much like a well-worn pair of jeans—and you can wear those in white, too. Top off the look with a denim jacket.
Dapper
For a more tailored look, opt for an off-white sport coat as a handsome alternative to darker layers. White trousers are perfect for summer, while a pocket square lets you try out this hue without major commitment.
