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.

DIY: Geometric Art

My favorite kinds of DIYs are ones that anybody can do, even the most crafty-impaired. And this is one of them. If you can draw a straight line using a ruler, you can do this project. Plus, it’s super affordable! I used a combination of paint and Scotch® Color & Pattern Duct Tape to mix up the textures a bit in this simple piece of art. And since the tape requires no dry time, this project took me less than an hour! So let’s get started with this DIY project, perfect for adding some color to your bedside tables or your walls.

Supplies

Step 1

Start by drawing lines in various directions to create an interesting geometric look. Grab a pencil and a ruler to keep the lines super straight. Once you draw the lines, decide which section is going to be what color.

Step 2

Do the Scotch® Color & Pattern Duct Tape sections first, before painting. Apply the tape over the area(s) you choose, making sure to overlap the tape slightly each time. Apply the tape in the same direction (I chose to do mine vertically) to keep it looking clean.

Step 3

Use your ruler and x-acto knife to trim the tape into the shape you’d like. Flip the wood panel over and cut the excess tape off as well. Make sure you put something sturdy underneath so you don’t cut through the table!

Step 4:

Peal away the excess tape to reveal your shapes.

Step 5

Use ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape to prevent your paint from running into other sections. Once you’ve painted all the sections you want, let the paint dry and remove the blue tape.

I’m so happy with how this DIY project turned out. Geometric art is one of my favorite trends right now, so being able to create it on my own with simple materials like Scotch Duct Tape is super rewarding. I decided to set my piece of art on top of a small dresser in my bedroom where I keep my perfume and some accessories. The dresser was a bit one-dimensional and was definitely lacking color. I think this project completes the look I was going for and really adds a touch of style to my room. I love it!
