White jeans. A seasonal—or year round—wardrobe essential depending on who you ask. Whether it's a winter white ensemble with crisp ivory jeans and the perfect ochre knit to match, or a springy outfit with bright white denim and a striped tee (the perfect outfit, pre-or-post Memorial Day, to be honest...) white jeans are a fashion essential in any wardrobe.
Even though they are a staple, picking the right pair requires discerning eye, particularly when it comes to the potential for unsightly sagging at the knee or, gasp, see-through areas. That's where we come in: from straight leg, to skinny leg, and even some flares and lasso cuts in between, here are the best pairs of white jeans to wear this season, whether you're pairing them with a classic striped top or a denim jacket too.

London Jeans

As an added bonus, the brand allows you to choose your inseam length (from 28—32) so they're as flattering for petite types as long-legged ladies.
