There are unspoken rules that guide the fashion choices of even the most stylish people. Some of these principles are pragmatic, while others are superfluous, and the notion that you shouldn’t wear white during the winter falls into the latter category. Don’t get us wrong. There’s a time and place for everything! Nevertheless, we’d argue that it is worthwhile to reconsider the whole no-white rule, especially given the risqué pant trend that’s risen in popularity recently, ivory pants. Long before our social feeds were filled with stylish people wearing ivory-pant outfits, there was already a growing shift in sentiment toward this color trend. The sudden surge in popularity of this shade can be partly attributed to the vitality of the quiet luxury movement, which uses neutral palettes and clean-cut tailoring to project an image of wealth. Frankly, can you think of an easier way to look like the owner of a vacation home in Aspen than wearing an all-white ensemble? Probably not.

Even beyond the fashion world’s infatuation with the quiet luxury aesthetic and this color by proxy, we’ve seen broader pop culture embrace this trend too, from critically acclaimed television series like Succession and Industry, where protagonists are donning the shade, to Pantone’s recent announcement that its next Color of the Year is Cloud Dancer. We’ve only seen this color trend gain more traction across every aspect of culture. Long gone are the days when wearing white in the winter could be seen as a fashion faux pax. In fact, there’s never been a better time to try this pant trend. If you’re still unsure of how to wear white pants in the winter, you’re in luck. Ahead, we’re sharing 10 ivory-pant outfits for winter, styling tips, and even shopping recommendations to help you bend the rules a bit. By the time you adopt these styling combos, you’ll feel like a million bucks.
