White jeans deserve a place in your summer wardrobe. First things first: Yes, you can wear denim in summer. It's perhaps best avoided in favor of an airy summer dress on days when the sun is really beating down. But when the clouds crowd in, there's a bit of a breeze, or you're just not in the mood to show some leg, white jeans have all the seasonal vibes—moreso than your trusty blue denim.
With a little more structure than linen pants and formal enough to double as workwear as well as off-duty, there's no shortage of occasions white jeans work for. Plus, available in a variety of silhouettes from barrel cuts to wide-leg styles, there are plenty of options, whatever your favorite type of jeans is.
All that's left to figure out is what to wear with your white jeans. Luckily, the street style set is guiding how to wear them in 2025. Keep scrolling for all the white jeans outfit inspo...
Double denim
Sure, you've likely tried pairing a blue denim jacket or waistcoat with jeans, but the look works just as well with white denim. In fact, it's actually much easier to pull off as there's less variation in the color of white denim.
With butter yellow
We know you know butter yellow is the color of the season, and we're still not over wearing it. Try styling a butter yellow top or accessory with white jeans for a fresh take.
Head-to-toe white
The easiest way to wear white jeans? With a white t-shirt or top—something everyone already has in their wardrobe. To stop your outfit from feeling too medical office vibes, add at least one element in a different hue. It's best to pick an accessory that stays true to the trend, such as a black bag or vibrant shoes.
With a black leather jacket
If white jeans feel a little too clean for you, a leather jacket instantly adds some edge to your entire outfit. You can't go wrong with black or brown leather for timeless style.
With a brown suede jacket
If leather feels a little too harsh against white denim for you (I get it), luckily, the street style set has found the perfect alternative: a brown suede jacket. Take your pick from a blazer, barn jacket, or a fringed design to tap into the boho revival.
Dressed up gold
White jeans have a more formal feel than blue denim, making them perfect attire for occasions that require you to dress up but you still want to feel comfy. Lean into the formality by styling with gold—be it a sequin top or tweed jacket with glittery thread. Wear with a pair of heels and you're good to go.
