The secret to any chic capsule wardrobe is a go-to pair of denim—and during the spring and summer months, nothing is more casual-cool than white jeans outfits. In ecru, ivory, or cream, the closet classic is a favorite amongst the It girls and the street style set. During fashion month and beyond, you can find the stylish lot sporting theirs with everything from ladylike jackets and ballet flats to relaxed button-downs and ’90s-inspired pairs of minimalist thong sandals. And with spring finally here, white jean outfits are perfectly suited for commutes to-and-from the office, afternoons spent picnicking in the park, and festive post-work soirées.

It’s no secret that we’re fond of reliable formulas centered around a single piece, be it white dresses, white skirts, or white denim. Ahead, discover 11 white jeans outfits that have the street style seal of approval.
The Navy Peacoat With a Classic White Slim-Leg
Vogue’s Tonne Goodman is known her for love of white jeans. An essential in her everyday uniform, follow suit and pair yours from Madewell with a navy peacoat and paisley cotton bandana from Banana Republic. Khaite’s soft leather loafers are a chic yet practical finishing touch.
The Suede Blazer With a Sleek Wide-Leg
A suede jacket and white wide-leg jean is a spring outfit many Vogue editors can get behind. Layer in a black tee as a neutral base, and polish off with a matching suede handbag to keep the textural moment going.
The Cropped Jacket With a Denim Skirt
Consider yourself a non white jean enthusiast? No worries, Loulou de Saison’s white denim maxiskirt is the perfect alternative. Complete the look à la this showgoer with Self-Portrait’s caramel-colored leather jacket, a beige ribbed tank, and a pair of minimalist black sandals from Ancient Greek Sandals.
The Ecru Essential With a Summer Handbag
A structured pair of white jeans, like this ecru pair from Interior, is the star of any summer capsule wardrobe. Just look to Danish fashion darling, Pernille Teisbæk, for a prime example. During Copenhagen Fashion Week last summer, Teisbæk sported hers with a blue-and-white striped tank top and a pair of simple black mules. The other defining factor to this white jean outfit formula? A festive summer handbag, like this one, below, from Bottega Veneta.
The Printed Pick With a Crisp White Button-Up
Vogue’s Naomi Elizée is known for her eclectic style and taste—and her take on white jeans is no different. Follow suit and pick this printed pair of baggy denim from Loewe. Styling-wise, it’s best to stick to the classics, like with this cropped button-up shirt from Hommegirls and Le Monde Beryl’s metallic ballet flats—a winning match for Acne Studios’s silver-foil handbag.
The Relaxed Fit With a Lightweight Leather Jacket
This spring, we’re all about going back to basics–and what is more basic than a T-shirt and jeans combination? Steal her style and wear this little black tee from Madewell with Jeanerica’s relaxed-fit jeans. On days when the temperatures hover around 60°, throw Massimo Dutti’s zip-up leather jacket on top. Accessory-wise, opt The Row’s minimalist sandals and Proenza Schouler’s bag for sleek finishing touches.
The Bright White Wide-Leg With a Crochet Top
The polished ease of a flattering, wide-leg jean is a fashion crowd-favorite for a reason. In an eye-catching bright white, Fforme’s take on denim should be an instant addition to your shopping cart. As modeled by this city slicker, turn to a crochet top for a textured finish. Meanwhile, little black accessories from Aeyde and Mansur Gavriel ground the look.
The Model Off-Duty Staple With a Summer-Friendly Blazer
Curious as to what it takes to pull off summer-friendly tailoring? This off-duty model has you covered. Start with Everlane’s linen oversized blazer, a ribbed-knit tank top, and a pair of relaxed, tapered jeans from Veronica Beard. Accessory-wise, black boots and gold jewelry keeps things feeling sleek.
The Sleek Straight-Leg With a Basket Bag
When the sunshine is no where to be found, take a styling cue from Vogue’s senior fashion market editor, Madeline Fass, and wear your white jeans with Tove’s ultra-lightweight black blazer and a pair of pointed-toe kitten heels from Neous. To keep things on theme, a basket bag is always welcome in the mix.
The Slim-Leg With a Billowing Halter
Nothing says easy, breezy quite like a billowing halter top. Juxtapose the carefree nature of this Wardrobe.NYC number with Khaite’s slim-leg white jeans. Like this showgoer, break up the monochromatic moment with a burgundy accessory or two, whether it’s NLA’s chic knot bag or pair of fashion flip-flops from A. Emery.
The Lived-In Jean With a Tiny Top
What goes hand-in-hand with a worn-in pair of white jeans? Onia’s linen cropped top, of course. Like this showgoer, make yours office-appropriate by layering in a denim overshirt and stepping into St. Agni’s python-printed mules. Meanwhile, a pair of white sunnies, like the below, take the look to whole other level.
