The Only White Jeans You Need This Season

White denim usually signals the start of summer, or at least the anticipation of warm weather to come. But who says you have to wait until the summer solstice to enjoy one-half of the easiest outfit formulas of all time? Besides, throwing on a pair of ivory-hued denim on a chilly, dark morning might just give you the sartorial inspiration you need to get through the colder months. Either way, we’re advocates of white denim no matter what time of year it is.

Still, the best white jeans for 2022 aren’t necessarily the ones you threw on in years past. While a typical straight-leg pair will always hold strong, we’re partial to updated silhouettes this season: Wide-leg, low-rise, and cargo-inspired white denim is having a moment—and look out for interesting details like cut-outs, mixed-textures, and imaginative distressing. Pair them with a long-line coat and chunky boots now, then keep them in rotation to wear with your favorite ribbed tank or oversized button-down when warmer weather arrives.

Ahead, shop our favorite pairs of white jeans.
