Fashion People in London and Paris will Live in White Capri Pants This Summer

If, like me, you’re summering in the city, you’re probably also wondering how your wardrobe is going to cope. Staying in London through the hottest months means balancing the desire to look put-together with the high temperatures we usually only face in mainland Europe. Deciding what to wear day to day feels a little more complicated than usual, so I’ve been on the lookout for pieces that are both warm-weather-ready and city-chic enough to see me through. In the white capri trousers trend, I’ve found both.

Brighter, fresher and far more breathable than their black counterparts, white capris are made for the height of summer, especially when the sun is beating down and the city heat feels inescapable. Cut at or just below the knee, their modest silhouette offers a cooler, more comfortable alternative to shorts, making them ideal for everyday dressing.

They’re also far easier to style than you might think. The clean white hue slots effortlessly into a wardrobe of neutrals and acts as a perfect base for brighter summer layers, too. When it comes to footwear, I find white capris pair beautifully with ballet flats, flip-flops or sleek kitten heels for a smarter finish.

Spend even a single day in our London office and you’re bound to spot at least one Who What Wear editor in a pair of capris. Styled with floaty blouses, boxy vintage tees or neat co-ords, these once-divisive trousers have become a team favourite. So I don’t suspect it will be long until our wardrobes are awash with the summery update.
