White jeans outfits aren’t just for Summer. These are some of my favorite ways to wear them year round to get the most wear out of them. From Summer looks to cozy and warm Fall/Autumn and Winter outfits, I’ve got you covered.
The skinny white jeans I’m wearing are Holland Cooper. I sized up 1 size (usually a UK 6/US 0, wearing a UK 8). The length is designed to fit 30″ legs which is perfect on me even with flats, as most of my jeans normally need needing tailoring.
How to style white jeans for Spring/Summer
White always looks fresh for Spring and Summer and monochromatic white jeans outfits are often the most flattering. I have dancers legs and feel like I have 2 sausages for legs when I wear fitted white jeans. Which is why I’m careful with the fit of the jeans and how I style them. Monochromatic looks also help to cheat some height, which I’ll always take since I’m 5’2″.

How to style white jeans for Fall/Winter
White jeans tend to not get worn as much in Winter as muddy, wet streets don’t play well with white. However, I have some cheats to keep them on rotation.

- Sheer trend: sheer outfits are a massive trend for Fall Winter 2022-2023. Style your jeans with a sheer lace top layered over a bra, camisole or tank for extra coverage for a look that’s sexy and perfect for cocktail hour.
- Add texture: faux fur jackets and leather jackets are both in style this Fall/Winter. Faux fur adds a more luxe touch whereas leather will add an edgier, cool girl vibe.
- Crop it! Crop everything is still in so wear your white jeans with a cropped sweater this season. If you’re wondering how to style white jeans with a cropped sweater and not freeze in Winter, layer it under a longer length jacket or even over a fitted turtleneck.
- Canadian Tux / Denim on denim: white jeans and a white jean jacket can take on a variety of looks from laidback casual with sneakers to western vibes by simply changing the shoes to cowboy ankle boots.
Knee high boots will help prevent mud and rain splash back on the bottom of your jeans on wet days.
24 White jeans outfits for all seasons
White jeans outfits can get in a bit of a rut or be unflattering. Here’s some white jeans outfit ideas and inspo for how to style white jeans for all occasions to keep them on rotation year round.
Who makes the best white jeans
It’s not necessarily about the brand but about finding a fit that works for you. As well as the quality of the material. Skinny white jeans can be hard to pull off and wide leg or baggy jeans don’t work with boots. Straight leg styles tend to work with most shoes and are the most versatile.
I prefer jeans with a little stretch that aren’t too stiff so they don’t cut in where they shouldn’t. However, when it comes to white jeans 100% cotton or just a small amount of elastane or poly can be a better bet so that the thickness of the material is consistent throughout and you don’t end up with sheerer areas or jeans that look like leggings.
White jeans can also end up see-through around the butt if they’re a skinny fit and/or the material’s too thin. So definitely check your derriere when trying them on.
If you’re not sure whether to get distressed or regular jeans it all just comes down to personal taste and how you want to style them. Distressed or jeans with holes look great with t-shirts and sneakers or flats for a more laid back white jeans outfit. Jeans without holes will always look dressier and create a more classic look.

I read through reviews and ratings to narrow it down to these 11 pairs to create your white jeans outfits with whatever your budget from skinny to straight to wide leg styles. I did include a pair of Spanx jeans as if you’re wanting a more skinny fit with stretch, Spanx tends to do this the best.
The skinny white jeans I’m wearing are Holland Cooper. I sized up 1 size (usually a UK 6/US 0, wearing a UK 8).
