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.
To make the color pop of my cobalt blue military jacket, I layered a white pullover under it. Blue is truly stunning if teamed with white, it just shines. A virtual friend of mine, who´s also a blogger, told me that this combination made me glow. What do you think? Without doubts, leopard print boots were the perfect polishing.
However, there are so many ways you can wear your white jeans.

White Jeans with Bright Layering
Get the Look: Cardigan / Cowl Neck / Jeans / Boots
Two years back I was reading Lloyd Boston´s, Before You Put That On, when his entry about white jeans made me realize that I actually didn´t own at least a pair. He convinced me that white jeans are a versatile piece of clothing next to your skin. I used to shy from it because I worried that a white bottom can quickly get dirty.
But I wanted to disprove this old theory so I went and purchased two pairs of white jeans. This is the first outfit I ever wore with my first white jeans. I layered a cobalt blue, sleeveless cowl neck top under a bright pink sweater with butterfly sleeves.
I completed the look with brown riding boots, dark brown cotton gloves, and a leopard print shoulder bag. This outfit became one of my favorite fall looks.
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.
1. What to Wear with White Jeans: Black

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
