As synonymous with summer as ice cream and basket bags, white jeans have long been a warm-weather staple of stylish fashion people. For the longest time, however, I always thought they looked a little cheap when I tried them on. It's only now, with more white jeans on the market than ever, that I fully understand why. The pairs I've sampled in the past have always been of the skinny variety, practically sprayed onto the body. Now, with looser-fit styles coming to the fore and influencers showcasing lots of chic ways to style them, that I have come to realise just how wrong I was.
Having recently ordered a pair of horseshoe-shaped white jeans, I've since become obsessed with them. With a slouchy fit, they feel much cooler than the tighter-fitting styles I had tried previously, and they have proven themselves to be just as versatile as my collection of blue denim. Thinking that you too may be open to trying white jeans yourself this season, or you already own a pair and are searching for fresh ways to style them, below I've shared a selection of my favourite white jeans outfits of 2024. Scroll on to see them and to shop any pieces you might need to re-create them.
7 White Jeans Outfits to Try This Season
1. Tweed Jacket + White Jeans + Ballet Flats

Shop the Look:
This jacket looks so much more expensive than it is.
These Paige jeans are beloved by influencers.
The glossy leather finish makes these ballet flats look high-end.
2. Black Top + Studded Belt + White Jeans + Mesh Shoes
Style Notes: White and black are a natural pairing and, as evidenced by Debora Rosa, they look especially chic when worn together in outfit form. White jeans and a black jersey vest are all you need.
Shop the Look:
The boat neckline feels very classic.
This belt is still incredibly popular.
I love the relaxed fit of these jeans.
These could easily pass as designer.
3. Blazer + Scarf + White Jeans + Shoulder Bag

Invest in a high-end belt and your looks will forever be improved.
A great option if you're 5' 3" or shorter.
5. Bright Knit + White Jeans + Colourful Trainers
Style Notes: Owing to their blank-canvas hue, white jeans work with a myriad of other colours. Choose your favourite, wear it in knit form, and match it to the colour of your shoes. Trainers feel especially current.
Shop the Look:
Tones of red never go out of style.
These are a new bestseller for the brand.
I can see these trainers being everywhere this summer.
6. Cardigan + White Jeans + Trainers
Style Notes: Play upon the fresh look of white jeans by styling them with other light-coloured separates. A cream cardigan and white trainers offer a no-brainer solution.

Years on from the day Katie Holmes wore this cardigan and it's just as popular as it was then.
This pair comes in an extended size range.
These are the comfiest shoes I own.
7. Waistcoat + White Jeans + Heels
Style Notes: When it comes to top trends, one that still feels very now is the waistcoat. I'm seeing lots of knitted styles just like Marina Torres's on the market right now. Just add heels for a low-key evening look.
Shop the Look:
A cute addition to your knitwear collection.
A chic off-white hue.
An easy way to make your outfits feel polished.
