Jennifer Lawrence, Katie Holmes, and More Celebs Are Showing Us Why White Pants Are a Summer Staple

While white pants tend to become the bottoms of the summer, every summer, so many of our favorite celebrities are managing to make them feel brand new. 

Right now, stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Katie Holmes, and Gwyneth Paltrow are all turning to different white pants variations to stay cool and comfortable in sweltering summer temperatures. While Paltrow was the latest star to sport a cropped version of the trend at the end of June, Holmes and Lawrence each wore their take on white pants — wide-leg jeans and breezy linen bottoms, respectively — within the past month.

Plus, Jennifer Lopez rode a bike in a high-waisted pair of white jeans while vacationing in the Hamptons over the weekend, and Martha Stewart went with a straight-leg pair while shopping back in April.  

No matter which style strikes your fancy, white pants are the summer-ready closet staple your wardrobe needs. Below, we rounded up white bottoms at Amazon, Gap, J.Crew, and more — prices start at $29.
