White Jeans Are a Summer Classic—Here’s How Celebs Are Wearing Them This Year
2 min readWhite denim has long been synonymous with summer, and now that the season for crisp alabaster washes is officially here, we’re turning to recent celebrity street style looks for fresh outfit ideas. Trendsetters like Kendall Jenner and Daisy Edgar-Jones are embracing straight and wide-leg silhouettes with easygoing, slouchy fits, while monochromatic color palettes and subtle ’90s fashion continue to pop up across our social feeds.
Below, we’ve detailed how six celebrities have been styling their white jeans this year. To help you recreate each look, we’ve also rounded up editor-loved pairs from Levi’s, Madewell, Agolde, and other popular denim labels.
With Black and Burgundy Basics
Ever the minimalist, Kendall Jenner paired her white jeans (believed to be Levi’s 501s) with a simple black tee for a casual outing in May. Her burgundy bag and flats make the outfit more interesting while maintaining a less-is-more feel.
With a Red Sweater and Sleek Black Leather
Tomato red has emerged as a key accent color for summer—and it’s one that’s perfect for pairing with white denim. On cooler days, style a red sweater with white jeans and sophisticated black leather, as Daisy Edgar-Jones did during a recent outing in New York.
In a Monochrome Palette
You can also embrace this summer’s creamy monochrome palette in full. Off-Campus star Ella Bright recently paired distressed wide-leg denim with a classic white tee and an elegant white Coach Tabby bag.
With a Billowy Blouse and Suede Bag
Those looking to embrace a modern boho aesthetic should try embroidered white jeans. Actress Jenna Dewan paired hers with a billowing blouse, tinted aviators, and platform heels. And her crystal-embellished suede bag from Veronica Beard just so happens to be on sale at Saks.
With a Blue Button-Up
Emily in Paris star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu wore the ultimate vacation outfit while in Cannes. Her relaxed blue button-up, white jeans, and sneakers are as well-suited for a day of sightseeing or beachside drinks as they are for a star-studded film festival.
