I’m Making White Jeans My Summer Staple, And This is What I’m Wearing Them With

This summer, I am officially making white jeans the cornerstone of my summer capsule wardrobe. After years of admiring white denim from afar (obviously nervous about stains and clueless about what to pair them with), I am finally, ALL IN! And I am already wearing them on rotation until the fall.

For starters, to get to this fashion point, I spent a lot of time on Pinterest and Instagram trying to get inspiration on how to wear them. And I think I’ve finally figured out A few of my go-to looks/pairings. So, if you’ve been wondering how to style white denim bottoms, especially for summer 2025, I’d say, consider this your visual cheat sheet for your simple white jeans wardrobe. Because, (and why not?) I’ve done all the experimenting for you.

It’s so far one of my favourite looks this season. I’ve noticed that pairing these crisp white mom jeans with a butter-yellow tank instantly lifts my mood whenever I’ve worn them. It’s soft, flattering, and has that perfect sunny-day vibe, particularly on gloomy London days. On top of that, there’s just something about this soft pastel shade that instantly brightens everything and flatters the skin. That’s why I have delegated this to be a summer staple in my wardrobe. And the way I’ll be wearing this outfit is by doing a gentle tuck to define the waistline and add some shape. Additionally, when it comes to footwear, I’ll for sure be rotating between a few key styles. On days when I’m running errands or exploring the city, minimalist white sneakers will be my best friend. But on the slightly dressier vibe days, like going to outdoor lunch or a casual evening out, I’ll be slipping into sandals or possibly chic low-heeled pumps.

Then there’s this cherry-red sleeveless top I picked up on impulse recently. It’s also already earned a front-row seat in my wardrobe. Worn with white jeans, I think it’s still bold but still looks and feels polished. I’ll probably keep the jewellery pared back with my favourite gold hoops and a delicate chain, then lean into closed-toe heels for date nights. On more casual days, I’ll probably throw on neutral slides.

Now, when it comes to pairing colours, red with white is pure magic, especially for summer (well, besides the Christmas season). For me, cherry red isn’t just a colour. It could also pass as a personal statement. Because it’s a colour that brings an incredible pop of energy and confidence against the clean canvas of white jeans. White, on the other hand, inherently softens the intensity of the red, making it feel vibrant without being overwhelming. Which is one brilliant way to wear a bold colour in a super chic, approachable manner. And I personally think this is the perfect solution for when you want to feel bold, empowered, and vibrant on a summer’s day.

For those smart-casual moments, especially for brunch or a relaxed date, I’ll be turning to this olive green button-down shirt that I recently bought from a local charity shop. The plan is to wear it just slightly unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up and half-tucked to avoid looking too formal. Paired with brown leather slides and soft matching accessories, I think I come across polished without being overdone. If I need to sharpen things up a little, a neutral blazer and that should do the trick.

And quite honestly, one of my top styling tips for summer is to pair green, especially a beautiful olive, with white jeans. For me, it’s a strategic move: that gorgeous earthiness and sophistication against the crisp white is just perfection. It’s my absolute go-to for adding a colour pop that feels both aspirational and effortlessly chic, moving beyond predictable blues and blacks. I feel like this combination feels so naturally stylish and quietly luxurious. Perfect for looking put-together without any fuss.

On the days when I don’t want to think too hard, I’ll definitely fall back on this classic. White jeans paired with a black top. What a timeless combination that’s also incredibly versatile to wear. But only if you style it right. Because, without intention, it can easily feel flat or forgettable. That’s why I’ll probably be switching it up depending on my plans. For a dressed-down feel, I’ll go for a slouchy black tank, probably gold hoops, and a pair of low-key sandals or flats. But when I want to elevate the look, I reach for a fitted black bodysuit, a pair of black heeled mules, and maybe my favourite gold watch for extra polish. That said, I also think that a sleek blazer will definitely and instantly transform this outfit into something evening-appropriate.

Frankly speaking, this white jeans look is for anyone who wants to keep things easy yet impactful. Whether you’re heading out for lunch or dressing up for dinner, this combo always finds a way to work. Again, as long as you don’t forget the details.
