Sharyn GreensteinCome spring and summer, white jeans are in heavy rotation for most of us BA50’s. They match with every top and blouse in your closet, and are a smart choice for most occasions during the warmer months. Straight leg and high-waisted styles are particularly on-trend for Spring 2021 and will make all your outfits look more updated and modern.
Finding the perfect fit in white jeans can be challenging, as the light color is not as forgiving as black or blue. But everyone can look fabulous in white jeans, no matter your shape or size. The key is finding the fit that flatters your figure. Wearing a loose, flowy blouse over your denim along with a small heel is a winning combination for almost everyone. Look for heavier-weight fabric which offers more structure, and lyocell or spandex for added stretch. Tucking your top into high-waisted denim (or even doing a half tuck) along with wearing white or nude-colored sandals will elongate the leg. I recommend sizing up if between sizes in order to eliminate any unwanted potential lumps and bumps. Below is my round-up of top-rated white jeans for every body and budget.
This beloved bootcut jean from the brand Mother gets remixed with a freshly frayed hem in an ankle-grazing length. 11″ high rise and 27″ cropped inseam. With spandex and polyester for comfort. Selling fast.
Available in misses, petite and plus sizing, these high-waist straight-leg jeans from Talbots look great on my straight frame as well as my friend’s hourglass one. Made from cotton, lyocell, polyester and spandex and very comfortable.
