With so many clothes in my closet, you'd be surprised that I still end up rummaging through everything I own, feeling like I have nothing to wear. That is, until I found an outfit base that never fails me: white jeans. I throw them on, pair them with a cute top, toss on some flats or comfy sandals (depending on my mood), and boom — I have a chic summer outfit that I styled in no time. With that in mind, I thought I'd share some of my favorite, tried and true staple white jeans for you to peruse. So keep reading for all our white jeans for women!
Levi's 501 '90s Jeans
Starting off with my favorite must-have pair of white denim: these Levi's jeans! The classic 501s are amazing if you can get your hands on a vintage pair, but often times they're the wrong size or way too pricey. However, this '90s-inspired pair are a 10/10! I wear them at least every week, and they go on sale so often, making them way more affordable.
J.Crew Ecru Jeans
This outfit is so french-inspired, which is just what I'm going for this summer! The straight, slouchier feel gives it that inherent je ne sais quoi you're looking for — talk about tres chic! The ecru/cream color of the pants looks great with so many different pieces, so if you're against stark white as an option, then these could be great for you!
Abercrombie Ultra High Waist Jean
Ultra high waist jean? Say no more! I love a high waist, because it really helps if I'm feeling a little extra bloated or anything that day. The high waist helps to negate any of that, and looks really flattering on. I love the way it's styled with the high-low top and delicate, strappy sandals!
Free People Cuffed Jeans
Free People always incorporates a funky, fresh, and fun factor (say that 5 times fast) that I adore! They give every piece a little extra personality and quirkiness that really pull an outfit together. These cuffed jeans would look great with the juxtaposition of a heel to make it seem almost Carrie Bradshaw-coded!
J.Crew Classic Boyfriend Jean
Now THIS is how you do a boyfriend jean! Lately, I've been over the baggier shapes, looking for more slim-fitting and flattering options for clothing — and these J.Crew boyfriend jeans do just that. This style flatters the figure more, while also allowing for more versatility in what ways you can style an item! Dress these jeans up or down, depending on the occasion.
Madewell Kick Flare Jeans
Kick flare jeans are super flattering because of the way they elongate the leg! The slimmed pant paired with the kick flare at the ankle is so cute, and probably one of my favorite styles for summer. These would be great paired with a floral tank and some gladiator sandals to show off your ankle!
J.Crew Sailor Slim Jean
Slim jeans are IN for summer! Gone is the old baggy boyfriend jean, and in is this slim, straight-legged style. This cut is seriously on the rise again this summer, so definitely add these to your wishlist because they're going to stick around! I love how they're paired above with flats and a sailor-style top! So cute!
Abercrombie Curve Love Ripped Jeans
These are curvy-girl approved! The Abercrombie Curve Love line is really so flattering for anyone with a curvier silhouette. They snatch in at the waist and give more room at the hips for the perfect fit. I love bagginess to them and the rip at the knee — so cool and laid back. Definitely style these with heels and a bodysuit tank!
J.Crew Curvy Slim Wide Leg Jean
Some more slim-fitting jeans because I can't get enough! Someone grab my credit card! This pair from J.Crew has a curvy fit, so keep that in mind when purchasing. These simple, slim jeans can be styled up for a nice dinner or styled down for a low-key, casual lunch date!
Free People Rolla's Sailor Jeans
Rolla's really create amazing jeans for all body types, but specifically for my curvy girls! These jeans are highly recommended and well-loved for anyone with curvier body types given how they synch in and let loose at all the right places. I love the more nautical style of these for summer, especially paired with some boat shoes!
Mango Culotte White Jeans
These easy-to-style culotte pants are on sale right now for under $50! The frayed edges of this otherwise straight-forward style add just enough to make these white jeans stand out in a crowd. Mango has such fashionable picks at great price points, so definitely look no further than this brand here!
Madewell Harlowe High Waist Jeans
Slouchy denim is always a good way to go for summer! I often hate the idea of wearing pants when it's hot outside, but if you want to look put together and still feel comfortable, then these are the perfect jeans for you! They're slouchy, comfortable, but still would look put together with a cute, summer tank and dainty, strappy sandals!
H&M Barrel Jeans
Barrel jeans are all over my FYP lately! I love buying super trendy items from more affordable stores so I can really test out if I want to invest in the piece as a long term item. These are under $50 — a great price point to try out a trend! Run to add these to your cart!
