White jeans are the workhorse of your spring and summer wardrobe. With its blank canvas nature all you need are a few key accessories to them from a Bermuda-ready outfit to a date night look. Here, five completely different ways to style your white jeans no matter where you are (except a black tie event; trust us, we tried).
On Vacation
When you need a break from linen and swimwear, try this outfit. You can still incorporate beach-essentials like a straw bag and a crochet top, but white jeans keep the look clean and elevated.
