At times they are not flattering and you always have to watch where you’re sitting. What to wear with white jeans is a question I get a lot so I’ve put together this guide to provide style tips, white jeans outfit advice, and some outfit inspiration! I found my first perfect pair of jeans at LOFT. They are skinny, a little bit distressed, fit perfectly, and they are very affordable. LOFT also carries various sizes, petite, regular and curvy so if you haven’t found a pair of white jeans that you love I would suggest to go to the store and try on a variety to see which style fit you perfectly. Also remember this shopping tip every time you’re buying a new pair of jeans, white or otherwise. If you can’t tell in 20 seconds whether or not the jeans look good on you… they don’t. You’ll know immediately when the jeans are perfect! I collected all of the white jean outfits I’ve shared on the blog to create a resource for you to come back to whenever you need some white jeans outfit inspiration. If you ever catch yourself wondering, “what to wear with white jeans,” come back to this post and use it for inspiration. Pin your favorite white jeans outfit for future reference. How to Wear White Jeans – Tips to RememberWhite jeans of any kind are not the easiest to wear if you are curvy. They often make individuals look wider than they really are, because of the light color. But don’t despair; just follow these style tips to discover how you can wear white jeans and look your best! 1. The fit of the white jeans should be perfect: Not too tight, not baggy. A mid-rise, straight leg white denim jean is your best bet. If you can rock the skinny ankle pant, by all means, do so, but most women should stick to something more classic. For summer, you might want to invest in a cropped white jean, one that ends just two or three inches above the ankle. 2. The material of white jeans is important: While stretch denim is currently covering everyone’s derriere, you need to be careful with white jeans. Stick to a higher percentage of cotton in your white denim, 95% and above. This will allow you a bit of stretch, but not so much that it pulls and puckers, which on white pants is not a flattering look. And make sure to double check that the material is very thick, some white jeans can be see-through and that is the last thing you want! 3. Clean lines with minimal fuss: By this, I am referring to the shape of the clothing you’re pairing with the white jeans; proportion, color, and textures. In some white jeans outfit, I will wear a cropped denim jacket to emphasize my waistline, rather than a jacket that ends at the hips, which would make them look wider. Remember the proportion, balance, color, and fit. If you need more information on what I mean by that than read How to Look Stylish Everyday – Your 5 Step Checklist. 4. Shirts in or out? With white jeans, I recommend wearing your shirts primarily out. Tucking them in not only adds bulk, but the color of the top can show through the material. And, given the fact that white pants can add visual weight to your behind, tucking in a shirt and wearing a belt just adds emphasis to the area, which is not a good thing. Leave your shirts untucked, or just tuck a corner in for some added panache. 5. If you’re looking to dress up your white jeans make sure to select a pair that is not distressed and a classic cut: Pair your white jeans with a crisp button-up blouse or a beautiful bright flowy tip. For shoes, you could wear a classic pair of pointy toe flats to elongate your legs or pointy toe heels to really make you taller. Outfit examples below! Keep these style tips in mind and you’ll create a stylish white jeans outfit! Creating a Dressy White Jeans OutfitIf you’re looking to create dressy outfits with jeans take these four points into consideration when putting together your outfit. 1. Choose the right pair of white jeans: Go with a cut that you normally wear. If you like straight leg, wear straight leg, if you like boot cut, wear boot cut. Personally, I usually wear straight leg or skinny, they are my preferred style and it’s what I stick to. Make sure they fit perfectly and look fabulous on you. White jeans are notorious with making you look a little wider than you really so make sure they really fit perfectly. I know I keep saying this, but it’s important. 2. Select a dressy shirt: Since we’re going for a dressed up outfit select a material that is “pretty.” Find a shirt in lace, chiffon, silk or similar. Pair the white jeans with a shirt that is more dressy than casual, you want a shirt that you think may be too dressy. 3. Wear dressy shoes: If you want to add a pop of color you can do it with your shoes! If you’re deciding to wear white jeans with a pretty black shirt then add some color with your shoes! Think fuschia, gold, blue or your favorite color. If you’re wearing dressy flats or heels make sure they are a pointy toe, as they will make you appear taller and leaner. 4. Complete the look with accessories: Gold jewelry adds warmth to this cold look. Since this white jeans outfit was more in the classic minimal side I wore gold earrings, necklace, bracelet, rings and even a crossbody with a gold chain. No holding back on the accessories. The blouse has a high neckline so I’m able to wear a long necklace that stands out against the black. Wearing White Jeans Year-RoundWhile wearing white of any kind tends to be verboten during the winter months, that style rule has fallen by the wayside in the last decade or so. There’s no reason you can’t rock a pair of white jeans in November or February (or December and January, for that matter). Denim is a hardy material and holds up well in colder months. You can pair them with a long-sleeve colorful tee and a cozy white-and-black oversized cardigan or try a light gray turtleneck and a black leather biker jacket. Swap out the flats for a pair of knee-high boots, booties, or even ankle boots. In fact, if you can wear it with blue denim jeans, you can probably wear them with white denim jeans as well. The advantage of white denim over blue is that it tends to look dressier than blue jeans. Pair white jeans with a frilly blouse and tall sexy heels for date night. Top it off with a belted coat for warmth and you’re ready to go. Springtime is the perfect season for white jeans. There is still a bit of chill in the air, often making pants a required item. White pairs well with the soft pastels of spring. Dress them down with a pair of white sneakers, t-shirt, and lightweight jacket or cardigan, or dress it up with a silk blouse and a pair of wedges. When summertime rolls around, your white jeans will pair perfectly with a tank top and sandals, or a flirty halter top and embellished sandals. The summer outfits with jeans are endless! The white jeans outfits are really only limited by your imagination. Which is why I put together this white jeans resource, to serve as your outfit inspiration! In fact, I’d venture to guess that 80% of the tops and blouses you own can be worn with your white jeans! As for shoes, unless they are heavy and clunky, most sandals, tennis shoes, flats, and heels will work well with a skinny pair of white denim pants. What to wear with white jeans in the WinterWhite jeans in the winter is no longer a bad thing. A pair of bright white pants while it’s chilly, foggy and gloomy outside can brighten up your mood. I’ve shared with you before what the “no white after Labor Day” doesn’t apply anymore. If you want to wear, white jeans go right on ahead. You might get a few remarks from the older demographic but with the right styling, those same people might cave in and say they like your white jeans outfit. Only because the sun’s not shining doesn’t mean your outfit has to be the same. I love wearing white and bright colors on a rainy or foggy day. You should put together outfits that have the mood you want to reflect. You don’t have to wear muted colors or black all the time in the winter. If the weather is not what you’d like it to be put together an outfit that has light and color to it, so the outfit has a light feel to it as your mood. That’s what I always do. Let’s review a few details that you should keep in mind next time you’re planning on wearing white jeans in the winter. SELECT THE RIGHT COLOR COMBINATIONChoosing the right color combination for wearing white jeans in the winter is one of the most important things when it comes to putting together a stylish white jeans outfit in the winter. A color combination that I love is white and gray. White jeans paired with a gray turtleneck or sweater keep the white jeans from overpowering the outfit. Like in this outfit I would opt for a lighter gray than a dark charcoal gray. A light gray plays nicely with stark white jeans, going for a somewhat monochromatic outfit. Add a gray and white scarf to your outfit to bring it up a notch. The white and gray scarf I added to this winter outfit brings the white jeans and gray turtleneck together for a perfect color balance. PAIR YOUR WHITE JEANS WITH ANKLE BOOTSWhen it comes to footwear you want to select shoes that are winter appropriate, so no sandals or wedges. The best shoe option, in my stylish opinion, is ankle boots. As soon as the weather gets chilly I reach for boots! They are one of my favorite type of shoes, even more than pumps! Need some outfit ideas with boots view 20 Stylish Ways to Wear Boots. In this outfit, I opted for a pair of light brown ankle boots. Again I paid attention to the color of the boots. I went for something light to keep with the theme and not to bring the eyes down rather have a cohesive look. When wearing ankle boots with white jeans in the winter make sure to roll up your jeans to just about the top of the ankle boots. If you decide to wear white bootcut jeans, then select an appropriate length, not too long or short. ADD A SCARF FOR GOOD MEASURETo give your outfit that wintery feel add on a scarf. Make sure the scarf matches the colors in your outfit and select something warm. Opt for a large blanket scarf or large wool scarf.

Cute Outfits With White JeansNow that we’ve gone through how to wear white jeans and how you can wear white jeans year-round, let’s get into the outfits ideas! The following sections are ideas on what you can wear with white jeans in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. I separated each outfit by season so it’s easier to go to the season you need ideas for or you can just scroll through and pin your favorite outfits for future reference! Summer Outfits with White JeansBlue Cropped Denim Jacket with White JeansAs I mentioned, white jeans can be paired with almost anything, but because we were at a lake, I chose a subtle nautical theme. The blue-and-white striped boatneck tee is an updated version of what French Breton sailors used to wear. I topped it off with a light-wash denim cropped jacket, black ballet flats, and dark sunglasses. I like the light blue of the jacket as a contrast to the deep navy of the stripes in the shirt. It also keeps the color palette relatively light and perfect for the day we had. Each item is a classic in itself, and all are versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched with other items while traveling, making packing a bit easier. These classic pairings make the outfit timeless. It wouldn’t be out of place 10 years ago and it will still be fashionable 10 years from now. This is why you should always invest in a base wardrobe of classics. You’ll get much more use out of them in the long run, not to mention they can still be paired with items of clothing that are on trend now. When these four classic items are combined they create a classic and stylish white jeans outfit that works year round. Polka Dots & Pop of RedNothing like getting a little patriotic and going red, white and blue. The funny thing is that I’m wasn’t going for a patriotic outfit it just ended up that way. Pairing your white jeans with a chiffon blue polka dot shirt with matching polka dot flats will create a fun outfit that can be worn throughout summer. For an added bit of color and texture, I added a bright red leather handbag. Outfit Formula: Blue Polka Dot Blouse + Blue Polka Dot Flats + Red Handbag = Stylish 4th of July Outfit (that can also be worn any other day) Tie-dye, Heeled Sandals and Matching Patent HandbagPairing white jeans with a light blue tie-dye tank top will immediately make you stand out if that’s what you’re looking for! In this white jeans outfit, I wore a bright tie-dye tank top in many shades of blue with coordinating sandals and patent handbag. This outfit is perfect for late night drinks with the girls or date night with the boyfriend. White and blue is a perfect duo as you’re starting to see. Outfit Formula: Tie-dye tank top + Matching Heeled Sandals + Matching Patent Handbag = A Standout Outfit! Nude Heels & Crochet SweaterIf you don’t want to go all the way and wear all white then you can try an outfit like this. White jeans paired with neutrals. I this white jeans outfit I paired nude pumps with a light cream crochet sweater. This sweater has a lot of texture and it can look perfect worn on its own but you need to layer I would suggest a denim jacket or white blazer. Outfit Formula: Nude Heels + Cream Crochet Sweater = Stylish Neutral Summer Outfit Flowy top & Stylish Summer SandalsYes, these pants have a pattern but I’m going to say that they are white too because patterned jeans are just as or if not more difficult to wear white jeans. This is an outfit I wore wine tasting in Napa, Ca. I wanted the outfit to look casual yet dressy and stylish. I wore a blouse that matched a color from the jeans and a stylish pair of summer sandals. In this outfit, I coordinated the color of the handbag and the sandals. Outfit Formula: Summer Sandals + Neutral Top + Matching Handbag = Stylish Wine Tasting Outfit Fuchsia Top & Mint ClutchMake your white jeans look even whiter by pairing them with a bright fuchsia top. In this summer outfit, I paired the white jeans with a fuchsia tank top and sheer fuchsia blouse for a fun summer outfit. I added a fuchsia accent to the mint clutch and completed the outfit with a cute pair of summer sandals. Outfit Formula: Fuchsia Tank Top + Fuchsia Sheer Blouse + Fuchsia Accents + Mint Clutch = Fuchsia Love Winter Outfits with White JeansCute Winter Outfit with White JeansIn this white jeans outfit, I paired my white jeans with dark colors. The color scheme was black, white, and blue. I like the contrast between the dark saturated colors and the bright white pants. It makes the darks appear darker and the white pants even whiter. I paired the white pants with black flats, black handbag, a black and white striped shirt and layered a dark blue embellished sweater. A few outfit details to note; the pullover sweater has a 3/4’s sleeve and an embellished neckline. The jewels on the neckline made it, so I didn’t have to wear a necklace, and that’s a good thing for these type of sweaters because I would advise not to wear a sweater with a crew neck. The striped shirt has black cuffs, so when I folded the cuffs up around the sweater the dark on dark looked fantastic. I wanted the collar and bottom of the shirt to peek out from under the sweater, so there are another dimension and pattern to the outfit. Lastly, I added a large jeweled cuff and silver ring to complete this white pants outfit. 7. Long Coat, Bright Heels & Gold AccessoriesDo you want to wear your white jeans during the winter? I did! So this is the outfit I put together. I must mention that I live in California so the winters are not that bad here. Hence the open-toed shoes. Pair your white jeans with a contrasting long black coat and scuba shirt for a dramatic effect. The pop of color in the outfit are the heels. A little leopard print and fuchsia can go a long way in a winter look. I finished off the look with gold accessories and my favorite sunglasses. Outfit Formula: Long Contrasting Coat + Black Scuba Shirt + Gold Accessories + Bright Heels = Stylish White Jeans Winter Outfit Fall Outfits with White JeansOlive Green Jacket OutfitHere is a white pants outfit I wore to the California Coast on a chilly weekend.

This combination is the easiest and safest way to create a casual and stylish white jeans outfits that work for every day. I paired the white distressed denim with a light blue button-down that peeked out from the back of the jacket and the jacket sleeves. A dark olive green military jacket that gave the outfit a little more attitude but still kept it casual. If I were to have worn a blazer, the outfit would have moved into the dressy side. Lastly, I wore light brown ankle boots that match the light brown cloth belt. I wanted to keep the natural feel of the outfit, so I made sure that all the colors were nature colors and that the material and played along with the theme.

You know you’ve probably worn a monochromatic outfit on lazy days. You pull out a pair of black pants, a black turtleneck, throw on your black leather bomber jacket and black boots and head out the door. Yes, it’s that easy but black is also the simplest color to start with. While you may think that monochromatic outfits take less energy and thought they can be pretty tricky to get right, especially if you venture into bright colors or light neutrals. Monochromatic style takes some testing to find out what you like and what you will feel confident in. A monochromatic outfit is a very simple and clean style and I do love wearing this trend when I have the right pieces to pull together. If done correctly, a monochromatic look can be just as show-stopping as a patterned dress or statement jacket. Let’s take a look at what is monochromatic, monochromatic colors, what makes up a monochromatic outfit and how to style existing pieces of your wardrobe into a stylish monochromatic outfit. What is Monochromatic?The word “monochromatic” breaks down into two pieces: “mono” meaning single and “chromatic” meaning color. So a monochromatic outfit would consist of pieces of one color. This doesn’t mean that you would only wear solid black or solid red from head to toe. No, the joy of the monochromatic fashion trend is wearing different shades and tints of the same color, these are monochromatic colors. If you take blue paint and add white to it in increments, the color of blue would progressively get lighter resulting in a variety of lighter blue tints. If you were to add black to blue, it would get progressively darker, resulting in a variety of darker shades. The light tints and dark shades of a single color are what is best used to create a monochromatic outfit. For instance, you might start with a pair of charcoal gray wool pants, top it off with a dove gray blouse, and add a pair of dark gray slingbacks to complete the monochromatic outfit. Pop on some silver jewelry (a variation on gray), and you’re ready to take on the world. The joy of going with a monochromatic color combination is that it will work with virtually any color you choose: purple, red, blue, green, brown, pink…you name it. So there is no reason for you not to delve into this style because there are bound to be certain colors that look marvelous with your skin tone, eyes, and hair, which will only be enhanced where pairing multiples of the same color together in one outfit. To that point, I would caution against selecting monochromatic colors that clash against your skin tone or hair color. That would only amplify the bad choice and could wash out your face if your pale or make you look very pasty if your tan. Monochromatic Outfit Style tipsSo, you now know what is monochromatic and you want to put together a monochromatic outfit. Where do you begin? Your first step is maybe the simplest, start by selecting the color you want to wear. Like I mentioned above, make sure the color is one that looks great against your skin tone and hair, and that you feel comfortable in. The worst thing you can do is wear a color that doesn’t make your skin glow or dampens your mood in any way. As an exercise in learning how to master the monochromatic style, let’s go into your closet and pull out all of the items you have in the color you want to wear. Make sure to get all the pants, skirts, dresses, cardigans, etc. Once you have the items laid out, start experimenting by combining your pieces into outfits. See what looks good together, what doesn’t work, and come up with several outfits that will be your go-to items. Here are some style tips to keep in mind when putting together a monochromatic outfit. Mix Textures In Your monochrome outfitMake sure you mix textures within your monochromatic outfit! You want to add visual interest, depth, and dimension to your look so it’s not one-dimensional or boring. With my first gray monochromatic outfit, the gray skirt was the point of interest. The shiny texture brought this gray outfit to a whole new level. In the second outfit, the bulky sweater with the cable knit offset the sleekness of the turtleneck and fedora. Some texture combinations you can try pairing together are denim and chiffon, leather and cotton, suede and silk, wool and sequins. And don’t forget your shoes or boots when it comes to texture. They play a role in adding interest to your outfit. Consider how leather, patent, suede, or satin shoes will work with the outfit you’re trying to create. Or sequined heels! Yes, I am in love with these silver metallic heels!

Achieve BalanceRemember balance when combining pieces. This is a rule for every outfit, not just monochromatic ones. You don’t want the one color to overwhelm you. Quite the contrary, you want it to make you look tall and lean. To achieve this, play with proportions. If you want more information about putting together a balanced outfit read this post: How to Look Stylish Everyday – Your 5 Step Checklist. For example, if you’re wearing a billowy top, make sure to pair it with fitted bottoms. With a full A-line skirt wear a form-fitting top. The same holds true with the bulkier sweater I am wearing above; I paired it with skinny jeans and the fitted turtleneck. Accentuate the right areasAccentuate the right areas of your body using the right color. When wearing the same color in different tints and shades, you want to pay attention to how dark or light each piece is. For example: If you have very wide hips and want to deemphasize them, you wouldn’t wear light-colored pants or skirt. More flattering would be the dark shade of the color on the bottom half and the lighter tint on top. Like dark navy pants and a lighter blue shirt. You could also add a belt to accentuate your waist in the monochromatic colors you’ve selected. A belt is a great option if your outfit is flowier and you need to add some structure or definition. I added a belt to the large knit sweater and the sequin skirt has a band that acts as a pseudo belt. Select the Right Monochromatic ColorsIt’s important to select a color that looks great against your skin tone and hair. For example: If your complexion is very fair and you have blonde hair, opt to wear navy instead of harsh black. Women with tanned skin and dark hair could opt for a deeper color like burgundy or eggplant. If you’re new to monochromatic outfits and not sure what color, to begin with, start with dark neutrals, like black, navy, gray, and brown. If you are feeling brave, you can also try darker richer monochromatic colors, like burgundy, eggplant, and hunter green. These are the best colors to play with and most likely you already own clothing in these neutral colors. Add in a Touch of PatternMonochromatic outfits don’t just have to be made up of solid pieces; you can incorporate patterns or prints but be warned it would be a little more difficult to find a pattern that matches your color scheme. To add visual interest and to break up the solid blocks of color, add a print piece made up of the same color you’re working with. You can also try adding a patterned shawl or scarf for fun. For example; here is a professional outfit I wore that added stripes to the mix. I love how sleek this outfit turned out!

A Petite AdvantageMonochromatic outfits are great for petite women. Dressing monochromatically can make you appear taller and slimmer because a monochromatic outfit creates one seamless line from head to toe. Try it and see! At times petite women stay away from trends that might be difficult to wear but I say go for it. Find the pieces that work for your figure and make sure to keep it classy! Monochromatic Outfit CombinationsPhotographed at the gorgeous Bardessono Resort in Yountville during a winter trip to the Napa Valley, this outfit was perfect for the temperate climate of this area. This skirt-and-sweater combination created the perfect mix of dressy and casual. For this monochromatic outfit, I was going for a moody and a slightly sophisticated look. The one color of emphasis in this outfit is, of course, gray. Every article of clothing you see in this image is gray, with the exception of the blue tint of the sunglasses. I like the contrast of the shiny silvery-gray skirt and subdued gray turtleneck. The sheen of the sequined skirt brought another dimension to this monochromatic style, while the sequins themselves added a different texture. The texture is an important element when putting together monochromatic looks like these. If your monochromatic outfit were comprised of the same fabric throughout, it would likely come off looking dull, as you learned above. In the second image, taken on the same trip, I’ve revisited the gray theme, pairing the turtleneck with a light gray cable knit sweater and a dark gray felt fedora. While the fedora and turtleneck are similar in color, they are broken up by the V-neck cardigan, which also adds texture to the mix. Since these were winter outfits, I went with a moody color. If I were to wear a monochromatic outfit in the summer I would choose a brighter color, while the spring calls for pastels, and the fall calls for rich royal jewel tones. Monochromatic Style I hope this post has helped you understand what is monochromatic and how monochromatic colors can be applied to an outfit.
