Often associated with preppy pearls and high summer off-duty attire, white jeans can feel limiting. We’re here to bust that myth. White jeans can be worn with anything and don't have to be limited to the confines of the holiday weekends that bookend the summer months.

For starters, the neutral nature of the color opens up a world of opportunity in pairings and immediately elevates nearly any outfit for a more “done” look. Next, playing with the fit, accessories, and length can bring your personal style into play and make for unique outfits no matter where you live or what your aesthetic is. Lastly, depending on the tone and weave of the denim, you can really wear white jeans year round. In the winter, layered with warm camel knits and leather jackets, they can feel unexpectedly chic; and in the summer, they are the best alternative to shorts when the AC is blasting or if you are feeling a bit more modest.

If you haven’t already, take your pair out of the closet (or go shopping!) and start playing with pairings; we’ve styled ten outfits that we plan to wear on repeat this year. Let your white jeans become the secret weapon in your capsule arsenal.
