A great summer wardrobe isn’t complete without a pair of crisp white denims, that timeless, sleek and totally chic warm weather staple. Thanks to fashion influencers like Alexa Chung, as well as the bloggers and street style stars who have seen rocking white jeans even in the winter, they’re big news in the fashion department this year. If you feel it’s hard to pull off a great look in white jeans, here are some suggestions for keeping things modern and fresh. Don’t worry; it’s not as tricky as you think.
Stripes: Wearing white jeans with a nautically-inspired striped top is a classic look for a reason and it’s especially a winner during the warmer months. To top off the navy and white look, you can add a pop of colour, like a red bag, to add some fun to the outfit and keep it from looking out of touch. What’s more, any kind of stripes will look great. If you want a more sophisticated, dressed up look, you can pair your jeans with a striped button down. It’s a timeless look you can’t go wrong with.
Monochrome: If you’re feeling a bit daring, you can go all white. You can try pairing white jeans with a white tank top, a look seen on Gwyneth Paltrow, just try and make sure there’s a similar starkness. You can even go all the way with a white blazer and white (or silver if you don’t have any) shoes. Metallics look fantastic with an all-white ensemble, and Elle Macpherson has showed how metallic accents can lend a classic and clean vibe to a monochromatic look. It’s a stylish and cute way to show off your white jeans, especially in the summer. If you want to standout in the crowd while all in white, how about choosing any rainbow coloured accessories?
Earth colours: You can enhance your white jeans by wearing them with various earth shades. A great way is to coordinate your bag, T-shirt and belt in a tan colour, which looks really chic. Plus, you can mix textures and shades of off-white. Kendall Jenner has been caught mixing creams and whites for an airy look, while Kim Kardashian was spotted in a nude coloured duster trench with white basics.
Sport them up: If you’re gunning for comfort or want a great weekend look, wearing some statement trainers is also a great way to perfect your look in white jeans. To make sure they are seen, the best thing to do is choose a cut above the ankle or cuff your jeans. Cuffed white jeans with black trainers and a black top looks elegant and spring-tastic, but no socks showing, please! You can also add on a baseball cap, a look Gigi Hadid went for.
Brights: Wearing white jeans with a solid, bright colour is the perfect way to colour-block during the summer. Any kind of vibrant colour, from fuchsia to turquoise or mint green, looks great with white. Alessandra Ambrosio worked a wonderful mix with white jeans, a teal jacket, printed top and pastel-hued pumps. Nothing says summer like a stark and bright contrast of colours.
