While the white-hot theme of the party was in celebration of Independence Day, crisp white can work for a myriad of summer parties and events. Keep it simple with a white tank and jeans with large jewels, go for feminine and frilly in a flattering dress, or make a statement with a bias cut top. Whatever you choose, you don't have to spend a ton to get the look!

Which do you of these watches do you think will match the Blank Denim Skinny Ankle Jeans with Zipper, this watch in titanium case or this watch with diamonds on the bezel? Both of them have white rubber strap which I think looks cool to wear with the jeans.

I think they all look great in white. Not everyone can wear white; presuming it makes you look fat.

I don't think that it's necessarily the color white that makes U look fat. The fabric, style of garment, and the cut, all play a large role.
What about some white outfit suggestions for us Brothas?

you're right ccgroovy. It is the cut and not the color which make the difference. There are colors which shouldn't be worn depending on your skin color. These should know about tailoring!!
Or if they are custom made they better find a new one.
