If you're looking for a cool, classic look to wear anywhere from the office to running errands on the weekend, try a pair of white tuxedo pants on for size. You can pair the traditional-looking pants with a number of tops, shoes, and accessories to create an effortless, customized look.

Typically made with lightweight cotton or linen, tuxedo pants may also contain a bit of stretch for a sleek fit that won't bag out in all the wrong places, such as at the knees. In some cases, tuxedo pants have straight cut all throughout the leg, but in others, they may have a slight or moderate flair at the ankle. Some versions also feature black stripes down the outsides of each leg.

Equally appropriate in both winter and summer, there are a variety of ways to make white tuxedo pants work for you. Following are a few style tips to consider when putting together the perfect outfit.

1. Suit Jacket

If you're attending an important business meeting, giving a speech, or participating in any other professional activity, try pairing the tuxedo pants with a matching, fitted white suit jacket. You could also wear the timeless-looking outfit to a refined event such as a wedding reception or a work holiday party.

Wear a white shirt under the jacket for a breezy, monochromatic look or go with a brightly colored top for a bit of interest. A black shirt will lend a modern appeal to the outfit. As a bold, daring move, don't wear anything under the jacket at all, as long as it features high buttons.

Keep the look sleek from head to toe with polished leather flats or heels or even silver or gold sandals in the warm summer months. Wear minimal accessories, such as silver or gold hoops and matching bangle bracelets as a sophisticated touch.

2. Button-Down Blouse

More casual than a suit jacket but still classic, a button-down blouse is a perfect match for tuxedo pants. For a look that screams sophistication, go with a beige, white, or black blouse constructed of a light, airy fabric. Tuck the shirt in all around, or tuck just at the front while allowing the back and sides to hang out for a more relaxed appearance. 

3. Sleeveless Top 

Even if it's hot outside, you can still wear your favorite pair of tuxedo pants by pairing them with a sleeveless top. The key to making this look work is choosing a top made of a higher-end material, such as silk or linen. It's best to avoid wearing a casual cotton tank top that you would wear with shorts or yoga pants in this case.

Complete the summer-inspired ensemble with strappy sandals or peep-toe shoes.
