How to Wear White Jeans with Confidence

Every spring, white jeans are a hot topic because most women have a love-hate relationship with them. On one hand, they look really clean and fresh and pair well with so many summer tops. But… we’ve also been fed the myth that white bottoms make us look “bigger,” and that you have to be a certain shape or size to pull off the look in a flattering way.

Don’t believe those lies. One of the reasons I continue to incorporate white jeans into the outfits I share here, is that I want you to see firsthand that white jeans really can be worn by anyone — you just need to know how to shop for, and style, the right pair with confidence! Here’s how:

It's ALL in the Details

The great thing about white jeans is they go with pretty much everything that black and blue jeans do. I personally think pairing them with a longer top looks the most fresh and balanced, but any top you feel confident in is a good choice. Remember to do you!

Fabric is KEY

With white jeans, quality really does matter. That doesn’t mean they need to be expensive — this is currently my favorite pair — but the fabric does need to have structure with stretch for a great fit.

When in doubt, add SHAPEWEAR

Even if I’m wearing a high-quality pair of white jeans, I often layer shapewear underneath in order to smooth everything out, since white jeans can be really unforgiving due to the color. This footless legging is my favorite shapewear style for underneath pants and jeans.
