White jeans outfits: How to wear your lightest denim all year round
Say goodbye to your trusty blue denim, these white jeans outfits have got your off-duty style covered...

By Jess Beech
We get it, putting together the perfect white jeans outfits can feel like a daunting task. But trust us when we say that you’re missing a trick by dismissing denim’s lightest hue in favour of classic blue. In fact, some of the best jeans you can buy right now are in this snowy shade.
First up, let’s address the two biggest (and most fashionable) elephants in the wardrobe. Yes, white jeans can be slightly less forgiving than slimming black - but that doesn’t mean they can’t be flattering. It’s all about the cut you choose, so consider an on-trend straight or culotte leg pair over structured skinnies.
Now for the practicality factor. We agree, white jeans won’t be your friend on rainy days or on muddy trips to the park - so save them for when the forecast is playing ball. You wouldn't wear satin, silk or velvet on these occasions either, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still earn their keep in your closet.
To make styling your white jeans that bit easier, we’ve taken inspiration from the crème de la crème of street style stars. Scroll on for some failsafe white jeans outfits…
White jeans outfits to try
The all-white ensemble
Let us first caveat this section by saying that if you’re the kind of person who tends to have traces of foundation, coffee and breakfast on their outfit pre 9am, this might not be the white jeans outfit for you. Head-to-toe white takes care and attention, but will reward you with a chic, stylish look. Follow the street style sets lead by mixing and matching different textures to add interest.

The classic trench
There are few pieces more classic than a trench coat, and as a result nearly all of us will have one lurking in our closets. Add a touch of Parisian flair to your white jeans by teaming with a camel, beige or check trench layered over a thin knit roll-neck or boat neck Breton. Fuss-free dressing at it’s very best.

The bright knit
One of the best things about white jeans is their versatility, as the neutral shade means they’ll go with absolutely everything. To liven them up, pair with the cheeriest, brightest knits in your collection. The addition of knitwear is a great way to make this traditionally summer-only denim shade work for all seasons too.

The muted monochrome
Black and white are among the basics of a capsule wardrobe - easy to dress up and simple to style with a myriad of different items. As illustrated by the street stylers, keeping the colour palette muted will instantly make even relaxed fit white jeans feel smarter. If you do want to add a pop of colour, try a slick of pillar-box red lipstick.

The tough leather
Give your look some grit by layering up with a leather jacket. Denim and leather have always been a classic combination, but there’s something about the polarity of shades that creates a really cool contrast when worn with white instead of indigo. Biker, shacket or long-line trench, the choice of jacket style is all yours. Not keen on the real deal? Try faux leather instead.
