Style inspiration can truly be found everywhere, and so was the case when I observed one of my friends who attended my dinner party wearing an outfit that to me epitomized summer chic: white linen trousers. The key is to purchase quality pants so they are opaque and to tend to the length depending upon the sandals you have chosen (the pants should just barely not skim the floor). Then add the necessary accessories: a simple necklace to dress the v-neck skin shown, treat yourself to a decadent pedicure, a medium to small size handbag and enjoy whatever summer activities you have planned.

That full-length picture–black sleeveless top with white pants–used to be my summer uniform. Sometimes I wore khakis instead of white. Simple and elegant.
Lately I’ve been more into sundresses, but seeing that picture has me wanting to bring out the old look.
It is so simple and elegant all at once, no?
This combination of black and white pants and simple accessories could go anywhere.
It is not too casual and not too over the edge – perfectly striking and elegant! I love it .
Very versatile. I agree. Great point. 🙂
Black and white travels well, so it makes a great “uniform” for traveling during the summer.
