Today’s outfit is inspired by the need for a simple basic that takes you from a comfortable yet polished look for a Zoom meeting to hopping on a plane for a weekend beach break without needing to pack too much luggage. These white linen lounge pants are the perfect summer item for this. Firstly, they are made from natural, breathable linen. They’re a hybrid between pyjamas and our favourite trousers – they have an elasticated waist with a drawstring and straight, wide legs which makes them easy to slip in and out of. And, if you’re looking for pants with pockets, then this is the perfect pick for you! Here’s some inspiration on how to style your fabulous white linen lounge pants.
STYLING YOUR WHITE LINEN LOUNGE PANTS FOR A ZOOM MEETING
Style your white pants with some “polish” on top. A statement blouse, pretty earrings and makeup should do the trick. Finish the look with sleek hair, lashings of mascara and a bold lip!

QUICK CHANGE TO JUMP ON A PLANE
Comfort, simple layering and a closed pair of shoes are my go-to wardrobe preferences for catching a flight. Simply swap out your Zoom meeting blouse for an easy tank. Add a gorgeous knit jacket and some hemp sneakers for a comfy flight.

NOW FOR SOME BEACHSIDE R&R
And finally, we style our white linen lounge pants over a statement swimsuit with our stylish slides for the beach or a fabulous poolside luncheon! And when it cools down in the evening, simply slip on your knit jacket.

MAKEUP TIPS FOR WEARING WHITE
White does tend to draw attention to and can drain the face. The key is to start with a really well prepped skin with a gorgeous natural glow. Here are some more tips to finish your white linen pants looks:
Firstly, keep it natural. Choose earthy tones to complement your neutral colour palette.
The boss lady makeup for the Zoom meeting: To complement your super chic white-on white ensemble, add a bold deep red matte lipstick and voluminous lengthening mascara to your eyelashes. A sleek low ponytail will finish off the look just perfectly.
Go fresh faced for the flight: Wash and prep your skin for a quick refresh after a busy day. For the flight, keep your makeup simple with bare skin, a nude lip and subtle statement brows. Add a flush of colour to your cheeks and finish off with a dab of highlighter on your cheekbones and a brush of mascara.
Take it to lunch with lightly bronzed skin and add a pop of freshness with a subtle cherry coloured lip. But be careful not to go overboard with the bronzer. Find some inspiration with Michelle’s easy vacay makeup tricks here.
