Despite the “no-white-after-Labor-Day” rule, white jeans can be worn year-round. In the spring and summer, I love wearing them with my bright-colored blouses and tank tops. Come winter, I adore pairing them with pastel-colored sweaters for some dopamine dressing amid all of the typically moody winter colors. So let’s get you a pair of these versatile pants!
The key to finding the best white jeans is their opacity, or as I like to call it, the ability to not show your underwear. You also want your white jeans to be ankle length or cropped and range from a straight leg to a tame wide leg. I also prefer off-white jeans to bright optic white jeans. In short, you want your white jeans to be…
- Ankle length or cropped
- Not transparent
- More off-white than optic white

Worst White Jeans
Skip über skinny white jeans that inevitably look like white leggings that basically show the bones in your knees — ack! And please skip super wide-leg white jeans that feel like the white flag you throw up when you’re losing a war. Also, the optic white jeans I mentioned earlier are not in vogue. Skip those whitey white jeans.
