4 ways to style white jeans.

White jeans are one of my favorite summer capsule pieces.  I remember when my kids were young feeling like I couldn’t wear white jeans because the chance of ending up with some kind of food or dirt smudged on them was so high.  But the truth is, white jeans are actually really mom-friendly because you can bleach them!  Plus, I just think they always make a fresh statement and they’re so easy and fun to style.

Here are 4 ways to style white jeans for spring and summer:

With mustard.

I’ve shared this already a few times this season, but mustard is such a huge trend for spring and I don’t see it slowing down at all for the summer months.  Quite the opposite in fact.  I love the way mustard and white pair together.  Such a great combination and the clean white jeans really make the mustard tee pop.  This tee, by the way, is one of my favorite recent purchases and it’s only $8.  I threw on a bandana with this outfit, which is one of my summer tricks for making a simple t-shirt outfit look/feel more pulled together and intentional.

With gingham.

Gingham is one of my favorite summer prints, and I love incorporating it into my spring/summer capsules.  For this outfit I paired the white jeans with this cute summer gingham top from my shop.  It has a built in tuck which makes it easy to style with shorts and pants, but I opted to front tuck it a little more just for a bit of added drama and to emphasize the high waist on the jean.  I threw on some sneakers to make the look a little more sporty, and added my favorite summer straw crossbody bag to warm it up a bit.

With Breton stripes.

This is one of my all-time favorite combinations; white jeans paired with black and white Breton stripes.  It just feels like summer on the French coast… For this outfit, I decided to tie up my top at the waist.  I love this striped tee because it’s a longer almost tunic length so it makes it really easy to tuck and tie it lots of different ways.  To finish off the outfit, I threw on my favorite summer hat, these madewell loafers, and my straw bag again.  I have had this hat for over 2 years now and it still looks perfect, it’s also super flattering on just about everyone, and it is so versatile.  The perfect summer hat.

With a utility jacket.

You guys know I’ve been on a real utility jacket kick this spring.  I think I maybe wore this jacket only a handful of times all of last year, and this year, I’ve worn it at least once or twice a week since February.  That’s totally how I get with my closet, I go through rotations and stages, which is why I’m a big advocate for buying timeless pieces that you can wear lots of ways.  Because you can put them away for awhile and then pull them out again and they feel fresh and new all over.  For this outfit I styled the white jeans with this blue and white striped button up, my favorite cognac shoes and bag, and then threw the utility jacket over the top for a fun pop of green.  This color is very versatile and works as a great neutral for a spring and summer capsule!

So there you have it!  4 ways to style white jeans!  I hope this gave you some ideas for styling the pieces in your closet, and if you’ve been nervous to try white jeans, go for it!  They’re a great summer staple.
