The Chic Trouser Trend Rosie, VB and Gwyneth Refuse to Stop Wearing

For many, white trousers are simply a no-go. The fear of spilling your coffee, or splattering a drip of red-wine is enough to deter one from gravitating towards the wardrobe staple. For others, white trousers feature heavily in the wardrobe rotation, styled with white layers in winter, or a black cami in summer.

Celebrities seem to fall into the latter party. Perhaps for having no qualms with taking frequent trips to the dry cleaners, or maybe for the fact that they forgo a morning tube or bus journey on dusty seats. Or, perhaps it’s simply due to the fact that a good pair of white trousers hosts a myriad of styling potential and are simply too good to let fear of stains stop them. Whatever the reason, we’ve seen them crop up on all of our favourite celebrities in recent weeks.

Gwyneth Paltrow styled a V-neck black vest-top with white trousers and white trainers in Beverly Hills. Waving the flag for white trousers, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted styling a pair with a slim black belt and black vest-top when out in Beverly Hills. The actor kept her accessories to a minimum, styling her white trousers with white trainers and a single gold chain necklace. The elegant pant really doesn’t require many accessories, nor extravagant styling, to make an impact. When worn with a sleek black belt, the trousers can be styled with heels, trainers, or mary janes for a polished look.

Victoria Beckham styled a loose black vest-top with white trousers and black trainers in at the Leagues Cups in Florida. Victoria Beckham wore her white wide leg trousers low-slung with a black Hermes belt when attending the Leagues Cup in August. In a similar vein to Paltrow, Beckham wore her white wide leg trousers with a black belt, black vest-top and trainers, setting the trend and imparting some excellent styling inspiration.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely styled her white wide-leg trousers with a white Ferragamo vest-top and gold jewellery. For a tonal take, Rosie Huntington-Whitely styled her white wide leg trousers with a simple scoop neck vest-top from Italian brand Ferragamo. The model layered on thick gold bangles and large earrings, and styled her hair in a sleek middle part. If you’re looking to freshen up your wardrobe going into autumn, a white, wide-leg trousers provides the coverage needed to withstand autumn winds, whilst offering a lighter base colour to your outfit.
