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.

Graduation Dresses for Any Budget

by Amanda on May 7, 2013

With all of the graduations coming up in May and June, it can difficult to figure out what dress is appropriate for each occasion. My rule of thumb when it comes to attending your own or someone else’s graduation is the same: opt for a spring dress, whatever that term means for you. Whether that means a flowy sheer frock, or a floral print number, or even a classic shift in a bright spring color, any of these options would be great for graduation season.

Once you pick out your dress, the key is to avoid looking too casual or too dressed up, and that’s where your accessories come in. If your dress is slightly on the more casual side (i.e. made of cotton or something you could wear any day of the week), dress it up a bit with sleek heels and a statement necklace. On the otherhand, if you have a cocktail dress you want to dress down, simply add wedge sandals and a denim jacket.

Now for those of you looking for graduation dresses that fit your style and budget, I’ve got tons of options below, each of which I would totally wear myself. Take your pick!
