Men in white can look really hot or really goofy and awkward. Follow these few simple rules to keep it looking right and tight!
Pants/Trousers
- Pale colours can often be unforgiving, so if you’re a little paranoid choose trousers with a flattering low-slung waist and straight-cut legs, a classic combo that will make the best of any shape
- White is a great base colour for making your accessories stand out, so a timeless leather belt with metal buckle will anchor the look
- For a quirky, summery twist, ditch sensible shoes in favour of a pair of snappy loafers worn without socks, for a flash of bare ankles
- Slick tailoring is a must for a smart take on white, everything must be beautifully cut and well-fitting, since anything baggy or badly-made will stick out a mile
- Rather than the usual greys, navy and charcoals, try wearing rich, earthy browns and taupes with your white separates, they make for a stylish yet conservative colour palette that suits most skin tones
Jacket/Blazer
- A golden rule to remember is never to wear your white jacket with black trousers as you will look like a waiter. The possible exception to this is a white tuxedo jacket with black dress trousers, but if you want to go down that road it needs to be a legitimately formal occasion
- Keep lapels narrow; small details are far more obvious on light coloured pieces, so save experimenting with unusual collars and pockets for another time
- Team with cool, neutral shades in super-luxurious fabrics for a look that really exudes effortless elegance

Men can always wear bright colors. A white jacket with black trousers not only makes a man look like a waiter, but also makes him look bad!
I really thought the writing in the blog was very complexed, in a good way.;)
