White Jeans for All Body Types

[Rachel Flare Jean $150 via Shopbop.com]

We’ve been rambling on about color so much lately that we almost forgot our faithful friend, the white jean! This summer staple is yet to fail us on many occasions. Backyard soirees, graduation parties, beach bonfires and all the etceteras of festivities welcome the crisp, clean white jean. However, fit  and style in securing this look is key! Read on, below for our suggestions:

1. Flared

Despite the width on the bottom, the tailored flare is still substantially constructed. This is perfect for those who are long and lean. Polish your look with a wedge or a belt for great contrast.

2. Cropped

If you’re build is narrow, try the cropped matchstick look. Your legs will look longer and the skin-hugging look creates curves.

3. Skinny

Perfect for any body type, get ready to own the versatile, white skinny jean. If you’re a bit curvier, try a simple pair with a breezy tunic, or a skinny/bootcut hybrid combo. If you’re slim and long-legged, go for the studded version with flats for some edge.

4. Bootcut

If you’re looking for pants to transition you from day to night, we’ve found the easy-to-wear winner. These jeans work great if your midsection is a bit bigger, as they keep your body looking proportional. A low rise option will emphasize your hips. Plus, you’ll love the rear view!

5. Modern Twist

White jeans too classic for you? The turquoise side stripe on this pair are anything but. Eye-catching pants will really accentuate your bottom half. P.S.: This trend was seen all over Resort 2012!

Are you a believer in whites year round?
