Nothing says polished like white denim — specifically, white jeans. While we’d never ditch our beloved blue jeans, adding a white wide leg or a trending white barrel leg jean to your wardrobe creates endless potential to flex your fit-building muscles. Let Lucy and her mom Jilly show you their favorite ways to wear white jeans.

How should white jeans fit?

The fit of your white jeans will help you figure out the best way to style them. To balance proportions, wide legs or barrel legs go best with figure-hugging tops like Lucy’s cropped trench coat. While Jilly’s gingham oversized collar blouse would work with everything from skinny to straight and cropped jeans. Layering long coats over white jeans is not only chic but a great way to help keep them clean, too.

Ways to style white jeans

The most important thing to remember? White goes with everything. So whatever the season, white jeans are a blank canvas: ready to work hard in your wardrobe all year long. Brown, beige and sand are perfect for a tonal minimalist look. But color fans know wearing white jeans with a strong color like pink, green or red is the ultimate way to make an outfit pop.

Depending on the leg cut,, there are lots of shoes you could wear with your white jeans. Baggy and relaxed fit white jeans are a great match with clogs or sneaks, while white skinny or barrel leg picks usually need strappy heels or loafers to expose some ankle or foot and help elongate the leg.
