What to Wear with a Classic White Shirt: 4

white-pantsNow, you might be tempted to think that you would never try this next outfit unless you get invited to Diddy’s next White Party or something similar — but c’mon, have an open mind!

There are times when it is okay to pair a white dress shirt with white pants, but the rules are very stringent. Again, summer — maybe even late spring — are the only really acceptable times to try an outfit like this.

The pants you choose need to be lightweight, the material should be a bit floaty. However, make sure that the cut is right and that the pants fit you to perfection.

Generally, cotton pants are going to be your best bet. You can even add in a white blazer to keep the motif going, and brightly colored shades will give you just the right amount of kick.

What to Wear with a Classic White Shirt: 3

shortsBelieve it or not, a pair of shorts can work with a white dress shirt — but only under certain circumstances. In the summer time, you can try this combination for any smart casual events. You will be more comfortable by far, and you will look kind of quirky and cool while still keeping it professional and respectable.

The nice thing about shorts is that are fairly inexpensive. However, when wearing them with your button up, you do not want them to look cheap. Stay away from any shorts that have patterns; a drawstring waist isn’t great, either. Make sure your shorts fit you will — and do not pair them with sneakers. A nice, sleek pair of leather sandals will do the job and complete the look quite well.

What to Wear with a Classic White Shirt: 2

striped-blazerTypically, a lot of guys pair their white button up shirts with a solid colored blazer. Guys, that is just a little too solid, so why not take a walk on the wild side?

Barring that, at least take a stroll on the striped side of things. A striped blazer can make you look quite chic — and face it, pinstripes can only make an outfit look ten times better.

Plus, stripes are still considered conservative, so your blazer will be as perfect at the office as it will be after hours.

Navy blue and black work quite well, with stripes in the color of your choice. Grey with white stripes is also an excellent choice.

But hey, if blazers just really are not your think, why not try wearing a funky, patterned hoodie with your white shirt? It will work better than you think it will.

First of all, a (not so) simple cardigan can draw all the right attention to your to your white shirt. However, be a little daring with it, and choose cardigans with unexpected and surprising colors.
