Recycle your white Eid outfit

27 March 2023

Recycle your White Eid sarouel. The All-White Look is reserved for special occasions, but nothing stops you from mixing and matching it.

Have you also fallen for a white EMIR set? Or was it given to you as a gift?

It is obvious that the All-White Look is reserved for events such as ‘Eid, weddings, and other receptions.

However, nothing stops you from wearing the top or the white sarouel separately and mixing it with your everyday clothes! And it’s actually a pretty good idea! Because white is elegant, bright, versatile, and goes with everything.

Although a white top is generally considered quite easy to wear and combine, the same is not necessarily true for a white bottom, which is collectively regarded as the quintessential Italian style, and yet… Follow the guide ⇩

White trousers: a bold choice?

Wearing white trousers has become a marginal choice for men. It is considered a bold choice, or a much less easy option to wear than black sarouel trousers or classic joggers. In short, many men prefer to avoid it.

And yet, it turns out to be an excellent alternative:

  • to switch up the classic grey sarouel and add something different to your outfits,
  • to move on from the eternal sarouel jogging look that gives the impression of wanting to remain a forever teenager,
  • to try something other than the streetwear look of raw denim sarouels that has been around for years.

Once you embrace it, you will realize that it is actually very easy to wear, while allowing you to stand out.

It is a good alternative to all the light-colored trousers you are used to wearing (sarouels, chinos, joggers, battle trousers, jeans…).

It is a good compromise for a bottom; it is very bright while retaining the trouser-sarouel look that we love so much.

White trousers, a very versatile piece

White trousers go with everything and are easy to wear in spring and summer. They can even be a go-anywhere garment; you just need to know how to master them.

For beginners, we recommend mixing them with basic and easy colors, such as navy blue and brown.

White trousers paired with a denim overshirt, a versatile outfit

For a slightly more elaborate outfit, simply pair them with ecru, browns, khakis, or denim.

If you are feeling bold, they also pair well with dusty pink or a more or less bright green.

And for those who have a garment sitting in their wardrobe because they simply don't know how to wear it, try it with the white CHILL sarouel and send us a photo 📸. (We are curious.) Because yes, white trousers highlight the other elements of your outfit, making them an ideal base for wearing a statement piece.
