3 Ways to Wear White Jeans {Pics + Video}

I’d been on the HUNT for white jeans for the longest. Yes, there’s tons of white jeans options out there, but I wanted something very specific yet pretty basic but it was tough to find at first. I wanted distressed jeans with either a skinny or slight boyfriend fit. I definitely wanted something that would reach my ankles (often times cropped pants can make me look wider than I am because I have thick thighs) and at 5’9″ that can be tough unless I find stuff in the tall section. I ordered from ASOS, shopped at Topshop and H&M and a bunch of other stores in NYC I can’t recall right now and they were all a BUST. But you know where I found my PERFECT white jeans? At an H&M in Kennesaw, GA last month when I was in town for my niece’s graduation…lol.

What’s funny is I bet I came across these H&M Girlfriend jeans a gazillion times in NYC stores but dismissed them because H&M jeans can be hit or miss AND these were cropped. Kennesaw, GA particularly the Town Center Mall is not known as being the fashion capital of the southeast. Or anywhere for that matter, but whenever I’m in town I still check it out because there isn’t a ton much of anything else for me to do there…lol. I tried them on and was practically in the fitting room doing the pepperseed. They do have this weird asymmetrical twisting thing they do at the waist (which I don’t notice after wearing them) but other than that smooth sailings. Because they’re girlfriend jeans instead of boyfriend jeans, they fit like if boyfriend jeans and skinny jeans mated and had denim babies. They have the look of a boyfriend jean but the fit of a skinny jean. AND the fabric is super opaque so no one has to see my thigh dimpling or undies…lol. I love them so much I bought two backup pairs…lol. One in the same size in case these get some sort of tragic unremovable stain and one a size down because I’m working on my fitness.

So since they’re going to be used in heavy rotation, I figured I’d show three ways to wear white jeans. I shot these with Nas back when NYC was doing some weird stuff with the weather—it’d be 90 degrees one day then like 50-60 for a week. SMH. So I included a sweater and a jacket to account for stupid unpredictable weather. Plus it shows how versatile white jeans are and they’re NOT just an after Memorial Day piece :)
