The Underrated Denim Trend That Will Make Your Outfits Look Expensive
Jeans are on heavy rotation in my weekly wardrobe. As a denim-obsessed fashion editor, I own enough styles, silhouettes, and washes to last me a lifetime. But there's one denim trend that elevates my outfits above all others—especially when paired with the right pieces—and that is (drumroll, please) white jeans.
Some of my absolute favorite, luxe-looking ensembles I spot on Instagram almost always feature crisp white denim. Chic and effortlessly elegant, white denim has rightfully earned its place as a year-round staple thanks to its variety of silhouettes and versatility.
Of course, not all white jeans are created equal. And it takes some trial and error to find the silhouette, fabric, and shade that makes you feel the most confident and comfortable. Below, I've made the search a little easier and featured some of my absolute favorites for all budgets. I've also included plenty of styling inspiration that will make your white denim look fashion-forward and expensive. Get inspired by the looks below and shop the chicest white jeans on the market right now.
For a luxe look, style a pair of high-waisted jeans with a crisp white tee and contrasting black accessories. A long black coat will create an elongated effect.
Slvrlake denim is one of the best investments you'll make.
For a fresh springtime look, opt for a wide-leg ivory pair that combines white denim with bubblegum pink.
A striped sweater and white denim are always a good idea. A pair of Converse ties the color scheme together.
A pair of black Adidas sneakers will add an of-the-moment touch to relaxed white jeans.
Off-white jeans are the perfect backdrop to let a colorful print pop. A quilted blue jacket is a great option for spring.
For an elevated look, pair streamlined white jeans with a crisp white shirt and a long wool coat. A fun accessory will never go amiss.
Add a black belt, pointed-toe slingbacks, and a blazer for a classy look.
I own the Charlotte in blue and cannot wait to get them in white.
There's nothing cooler that a pair of straight-leg white jeans and a black leather bomber.
