Even the fashion icons with seemingly boundless confidence pause for thought before climbing into a pair of white jeans. The universal question looms over the clothing rail: How does one wear white jeans and look modern? Are light denim trousers totally unflattering for most body shapes? Can I wear the world’s most high-maintenance colour with ease? (Lunch-date tip: Go for white wine, darling.) Trainers or heels? Which colours are best to offset with crisp paper whites for a future-proof finish? And finally, can you wear them in the winter?
Scroll down to decode these fashion questions and unlock six brilliant outfit ideas for wearing white jeans with zero-effort cool.
Style Notes: If you’re ever uncertain as to what to wear with those wide-leg white jeans you bought, stick to the basics. A black top, black bag and white sneakers will do it. Style Notes: On a base of pure, crisp white, there’s an explosion of vibrant colour to explore! Wear your favourite white jeans (shredded at the cropped hem, naturally) with a loose-fit classical blouse, and then play a game of rainbow accessorising elsewhere. The heels make it fair game for the office too.Style Notes: Okay, this isn’t strictly speaking a suit, as the jacket and the jeans aren’t exactly the same. However, if you invest in a white blazer and pair it with your white jeans, you’ve got yourself a casual two-piece. Finish it off with a pair of sneakers.Style Notes: One of our favourite looks is this casual affair from Alex Steadman from The Frugality. Grab your favourite cosy jumper and a pair of leather sandals. Add a dash of leopard print in the form of a jacket or bag, and you’ve just taken your outfit up a notch.
