Are you wondering what to wear with your white jeans, when to wear it, how to keep it clean, and how to accessorize it? In this guide, you will learn everything there is to know on how to rock this every-woman´s-must-have. The white jeans.
I tend to wear my white jeans more in winter. I´m not sure why, but probably because I want to reflect as much light on my outfit as possible. Of course white jeans are a warm weather essential, but I prefer shorts and skirts more when the sun is up.
That´s the reason why I´m able to dress up my white jeans often in cold seasons—from middle of fall to winter. I love wearing them with bright colors too. I like how the colors pop up against the white. Obviously, bright colored, printed and patterned pieces are my go-to separates to wear with my white jeans.
However, there are so many ways you can wear your white jeans.
Other than making sure that you don´t wear black, bright or patterned underwear under your white jeans, here are the important things to remember, and the many outfit ideas to inspire you, when deciding to wear a pair of white jeans.

There´s not much to say about black and white, a trend which we fondly call “monochrome”, because we know that it always works. One thing to remember though, there are only three best options when it comes to your shoes—go for black to match your black top, go for white to match your white jeans, or go for nude shoes. Wearing bright shoes will break the seriousness of your monochrome.
Here are some black and white combinations you can create with white jeans.
- Outfit 1: A black lightweight top with high-low hem, white legging jeans, black strap stilettos, black sunglasses, and a black leather handbag.
- Outfit 2: A black blazer, a gray v-neck t-shirt, white tight jeans, black leather belt, black ankle boots, black aviator sunglasses, and a black structured shoulder bag.
- Outfit 3: A black button-down shirt, white stretch jeans, black leather knee-high boots, black sunglasses, and a black structured handbag.
- Outfit 4: A black quarter-sleeve top, white skinny jeans, nude pumps, and a nude handbag.
Although black and white is a safe combination, you may want to avoid it if you´re petite, pear-shaped, or overweight. Black will slim you down on top while white will expand you below. Try tip #2 instead.
2. What to Wear with White Jeans: White on White

It´s another styling idea which is safe for petite, partnering white jeans with nude, light brown or brown. In creating this look, think of earthly hues. What nude colors of nature blend well?

7. How to wear white jeans in summer
Although there are many ways to wear white jeans in colder seasons, I believe that there is only one best way to wear white jeans in summer and that´s to wear it with light colors. Sure you can pair a black t-shirt and black shoes with your white jeans in summer if you feel like it, but the result is too heavy. However, if you go for white tops, pastel blouses, light blue t-shirts or even light gray, the result is so refreshing to the eye, almost whimsical.
Here are four ways you can wear your white jeans in summer with light colors:
- Outfit 1: A light blue and white striped fit-and-flare top, white skinny jeans, and nude wedges.
- Outfit 2: A white sleveless top, white skinny jeans, and nude paltform sandals.
- Outfit 3: A gingham wrap top, white skinny jeans, and ivory canvas wedge espadrilles.
- Outfit 4: A white blouse, white skinny jeans, nude strap heels, and a nude structured handbag.
Feel free to make the most of the straw bags in summer. They come in many shapes and styles, and the structured ones can even go with your summer work outfits.
