How To Style
WHITE JEANS
Not just reserved for the warmer months, white jeans are a timeless addition to every denim lover’s collection. In this guide, Trilogy’s denim experts share tips on how to style your white and cream jeans, whatever the season or occasion.
How Should White Jeans Fit?
As with all denim, your designer white jeans shouldn’t fit too tightly or too loosely. For the perfect fit, the waistband should fit snugly without digging in or causing any discomfort. Remember, denim will naturally relax to the shape of your body with repeated wear, so if they feel a little snug at first that’s fine – as long as they don’t feel uncomfortable. If your designer white jeans are too loose, you’ll find yourself pulling them up a lot and may notice loose fabric around the pocket areas.

What’s the best colour to wear with white jeans?
Bright colours work well with white jeans in the summer - a patterned blouse is a great option in vibrant pink or blue. Alternatively, more muted shades can work well for a subtler take on styling designer white jeans – style a pale pink silk blouse with a heeled sandal for the perfect summer occasion look.
During autumn and winter, white or cream jeans look chic styled with rich navy and burgundy hues or worn tonally with other neutral shades. Style white jeans with a beige cashmere jumper, wool coat and a loafer in winter for a luxe daytime look.

FAQ’s
What is the best way to wash white jeans?
We would recommend washing your white jeans inside out on as cool a wash as possible, on a gentle cycle. Air dry them on a flat surface to avoid any stretching or damage, and don’t use any excess heat such as a tumble drier, radiator or iron as this can cause damage and shrinkage to the fibres.
How to keep white jeans white
As with all denim, we stress that over-washing can shorten the life span of your jeans and should be avoided. However, white jeans do need a refresh every so often as they show marks, stains and general wear more than darker denim washes. Always wash like colours together to avoid dyes running and dulling your whites.
Can you wear white jeans all year round?
Yes. Though white and cream jeans are a more obvious choice for the warmer months, they can also be worn into the winter season and are the perfect styling companion for your favourite cashmere knitwear.
Can you wear white jeans to work?
Though this is dependent on the dress code of your workplace, a crisp white or cream jean with a clean hem can be a smart professional option. For elevated styling, add a blouse, tailored blazer and a loafer.
Can you wear white jeans in winter?
Yes, you can wear white jeans in winter. Tonal styling with neutral shades offers a luxurious look through the colder months.
Should you size up in white denim?
Whether to size up or down will depend on the brand and style of jean you opt for. However, in general there is no reason why you shouldn’t stick to your usual size when buying white denim compared to other washes. Make sure you always check the size and fit information when shopping for denim online to ensure you find your perfect fit.
