If there’s one fashion question I get asked often, it’s about when you have to stop, or can start, wearing white again. Today was a toasty 95 degrees out while the May Glamour I read at the gym suggested light cardigans for this month’s “cool” weather, I can see where all the confusion comes from.

See, most of the fashion “rules” are according to season, and rightfully so. After all, how ridiculous would you look trekking through the snow in a pair of white pants? They’d be muddied up, ruined and ready for the trash. But here, our seasons are pretty simple: hot, not as hot, and then cool (which lasts about 5 miniutes).

If Mannhanites were sweating like us this time of the year, they’d be sporting white pants too. In fact, white pants do start popping up in the Resort Collections, which hit stores in the beginning of the year. The calendar may not say it’s “officially” summer til mid-June, but our summer starts right about now. And so, your white-pant-wearing can too. Looking for a cute pair or a way to “transition” the look if you’re wearing it at night? Here’s a few looks. Just don’t break out the linen resort-like pants yet unless your’e going on a tropical cruise.
