Unofficial Poll - White Pants

[ChuckZ]

One thing about white pants, they will go with anything and will always be in style.  Yes, at 76 I do own a pair of white shorts and wish I could get white pants in my favorite brand of pants.  I favor FJ pants/shorts because I like the fit, but they do not make white pants in my size 42, so only stone in the long pants.  Everyone has their own style, so if white is their thing, live and let live.  Style is something that is permanent and timeless. Style is your own and not guided by fashion really. While fashion pertains only to clothing and accessories, style is not dependent upon clothing and can be associated with anything that makes you look stylish. So style is something that is one’s own while fashion is adapting to what is in at the moment. Style is an extension of fashion as you can use what is in fashion and incorporate it in your own style giving it an altogether different touch.  If it makes you feel comfortable, just do it.  Just sayin'.

Own them (both pants and shorts), don't wear them... Keep telling myself I'm going to do it, but then never actually do it. 

Have an old picture I'll need to dig up if a buddy wearing his lightweight white golf pants - the way the pockets were cut/lined, 100% looked like he was wearing a thong.

Found it - not the best look. I'm self conscious about mine looking the same

I used to own both white pants and white shorts and wore occasionally to play.  Lost too much weight to wear the pants and never bought new ones.  I did buy white shorts again and I do wear them occasionally.  

I play golf most every Saturday with a guy who wears white pants pretty much every week.  He manages to keep them pretty clean while playing.

Solid white?  2

White plaid? Several.

I worked for a club manufacturer and had to wear pants at all events - regardless of temperature.  Was told by my boss at the time that “douchebags” wore white pants. 

I bought 8 pair from Uniqlo (shockingly nice btw) and wore them every, single, day.  

Kaboom baby.

I’ve always been told that if your age or waistline is over 40 you don’t need to wear white pants or a white belt. Unfortunately I’m over on both counts.

  White pants look like your trying too hard for the PGA pro look for me. But if you like them, wear them ,who cares what anyone else thinks?

Not me, too much rain, mud, and dirt on my courses.  I don't own any white pants, maybe some light brown or gray.

Not Billy Horschel white, but I have  2 pair cottons that are almost white and one golf polyester shorts.  I have  a bright green and a bright peach-cream color.  $2 or $5 from the closeout racks at TJ Maxx.

But us ladies love them on our guys! All shapes and sizes.

Does my white skort count?

My son has white golf pants that always look so sharp. My husband doesn't have white (yet) but has other light colors - pink, yellow and baby blue. I love them all. He gets lots of compliments from other golfers, men and women. The men ask where he purchases them. Dress like you're out to have a fun round.

Tip from women - we buy a new pair of white pants each year so they never get too dingy.

"after" is just a matter of perspective  

[Bluegilla]

Yes. Shorts and long pants. Wear the pants in cooler weather.

[Dweed]

No and no. If I did, by the end of a round they would more likely look like my old Army BDU's full of brown and different shades of green camo.

... Like PeeWee in his Big Adventure ignoring the snakes until he just couldn't any longer, I give in and admit when I was a DJ in 77-78 during the disco craze I worked at some night clubs for extra cash and had a WHITE Polyester 3 piece suit with a red silk shirt. Even Big Stu in some white pants and a white belt on a 95* day with 89% humidity would be less egregious than my disco outfit. I swore I would never wear white pants again and have not.

As others said, I think the inherent transparency of white pants makes them look weird. I don’t see the appeal, honestly. Because you don’t see them anywhere else, It also screams “golf” a little too loud, which is not what I’m trying to do if I’m stopping somewhere after playing.

I guess it depends where you are.  I felt like I blended in last winter in Palm Springs.
