We’re well beyond the point of only feeling comfortable wearing white jeans between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but the bright-white denim style truly does shine in the summer.  And while white jeans tend to have a starring role at backyard barbecues and boardwalks, they aren’t just reserved for casual outings. You can also style them for dressy dinner party outfits or even have them serve as your summer work pant. 

I own a few pairs of white jeans myself but haven’t explored the style outside of a few casual outfits, so I wanted to put them to the test and see just how versatile the look actually is. And from a recent surge of Google searches asking “how to style white jeans,” we think you’re just as curious and eager to wear the statement-making denim trend too.

Scroll on to see how I’m styling frayed-edge, cropped wide-leg, and trouser-seamed white jeans throughout the summer. Then go and take on the crisp denim style yourself.
