As a civilisation, it’s safe to say we’ve managed to move away from the white jeans outfit as taboo. Of course, there’s still people that ruin it for others. No white jeans article is complete without a reference to nightclub owners, used car dealers or Razorlight as a warning, but mostly, attitudes have warmed to them.
White jeans, when not skintight, make a lot of sense. You can wear them all year round, they tend to allow other parts of your outfit to stand out and they can provide a point of difference. They look great with loafers and a dark sock during summer and in winter, they allow you to brighten an outfit up and move away from earthy tones. Keen on picking up a pair? Let us work you through some white jean outfit inspiration.
Understated, Yet Sophisticated
The charming Prince of Wales Raglan coat steals the scene in this white jean outfit, a great bridge between causal and formal, but it’s made all the better with dashing cuffed white jean. Pini’s Anthracite turtleneck underneath is a commanding cable knit piece is great layering too. A pair of luxury suede runners underneath is serious Italian athleisure style move.

Dapper Denim
Velasca’s chocolate brown shoe range is a white denim outfit’s best friend. You could match them with anything but the Piugiàtt loafer is a wise investment. Keep trees in them, respect the calf suede. The Bosa denim overshirt combined with the Millesimo denim jean is the thinking man’s double. Throw a cardigan underneath to break it up.
