How to Wear White Jeans in Any Season

by Amanda on May 16, 2013

I’ve said it on Instagram, and I’ll say it again. I could live in white denim. Swap out a pair of regular blue jeans for white ones and your look instantly transforms. They’re fresh, crisp, and add a breezy beachy touch to any outfit. While at one point in time, white jeans were saved for those short months after Memorial Day and before Labor Day, I say screw that. These sleek pants can be worn any time of the year, literally. Simply change up the colors and textures of your tops and shoes, and you can make these jeans work all year round. Learn how to wear white jeans from season to season below:

Spring

A staple in the warmer months, white denim looks great with bright pops of colors like corals and yellows. A denim jacket is the perfect compliment to white pants in the spring, as well as a perfect pair of neutral sandals. This short sleeve top is perfect for spring because of its slightly thicker material and gorgeous color.

Summer

Summer is the quintessential season for white denim. Change up your usual look but adding in new trends like tropical prints or pastels (or both). A bold pair of wedges stand out even more next to the blank canvas of white jeans.

Fall

While you may not think of white denim when you think of fall, it’s totally doable. They can brighten up a dark autumn outfit, without looking too summery. Just make sure all the other pieces of clothing in your outfit are season-appropriate. I chose a plaid flannel and a cargo vest to keep the look autumn-ready.

Winter

Winter whites. That’s my go-to when it comes to wearing this trend in the winter. The key is to mix up the textures, like a thick sweater with subtle neutral stripes. A neutral sweater like tan or grey would look super chic with white pants as well. Just add your favorite winter booties and you’re good to go.

5 Ways to Roll Sleeves

What may seem simple, like rolling your jeans, creating the perfect rolled sleeve is not as easy as it sounds. There are so many different ways to roll sleeves, different kinds of shirts to roll, and what do you do when you’re wearing two layers? It can get confusing. So let’s break it down into 5 different types of rolls. Don’t get overwhelmed by my naming – I literally just made them up :).

Option 1: The Classic Roll

An always reliable option is simply rolling your sleeves 2-3 times, evenly folding them on each roll. This is great for thicker shirts like chambray or flannel. You just can’t go wrong with this option.

Option 2: The J.Crew Roll

I call this the J.Crew roll because this is how they style their models and mannequins in store. It adds a bit of extra style and a casual messiness that I just love. Make sure to start with the shirt sleeves completely unbuttoned. Next do one large roll and finish by rolling the sleeve again slightly tucking the part of the sleeve that’s sticking out.

Option 3: The Double Layer Roll

This is a great way to make a layered look even more interesting by having the t-shirt underneath peek out. Simple hold the t-shirt with your palm and create a classic roll with the shirt on top. Then roll up the sleeves of the t-shirt slightly.

Option 4: The One Step Roll

As seen on the lovely Blair Eadie quite often, this simple roll is perfect when pairing a collared shirt with a pullover sweater.

Option 5: The Cardigan Roll

I often see this look and have the hardest time achieving it. The best way to do it is with two thinner pieces, or tops that can fold easily without getting too bulky. Start by pushing the cardigan up just beneath your elbow, then do a “J.Crew” roll (as seen above).
