I wear white shorts & white cropped pants in the summer - or, rather, in between Easter & Labor Day. I also have a long, white, summery skirt.
My husband has a pair of white shorts that he wears as well.
I’m in the South & it often gets warm before Easter & stays hot long after Labor Day; however, my very southern mother & grandmother ingrained in me that I can’t wear white before Easter & after Labor Day.
(Winter white is okay - but not summery white & other springy/summery prints & fabrics.)
