▶️ Not all men can pull it off and it might even seem like an intimidating choice to some. However, a completely white outfit would make for a very suave look. White pants with a white blazer or shirt and white shoes is a very sophisticated look. However if you want to break it off a bit, pair with muted color like Gabriel did here by throwing on a crisp white blazers over a pastel or neutral colored shirt and matching shoes for a smart casual and classy look.

▶️ Like black, white can also be worn with a wide array of color choices. Try not to go for colors that are too bright and loud like red except for specific occasions. Blue, in whichever shade, would look stunning with white. Similarly, a pair of crisp white pants also goes perfectly with black, beige and grey. Striped tees with cropped white pants is a very stylish look. Dress shirts of lighter tones look classy with straight fit white pants as well.
