I was out to dinner with a friend a couple weeks ago and she looked me right in the eye and very seriously asked me, “What is your official position on the white jean trend?”…

I have been a fan of white denim for several years. It is a perfect answer to springing up your wardrobe while keeping your look casual yet chic. Yes, the myth persists that white is not slimming, however I believe as with all clothing, when you have the right cut and the fit is great, white can look fabulous regardless.

I have been doing a great skinny white jean for clients from Uniqlo both for men and women that has a perfect stretch to it. (Yes boys, white denim is important for you too) I also love a wide leg white denim and almost every line has a version. Pine IV is a great fit if you can find them. Remember to think of your white jeans like your blue denim…a neutral and have fun with it.

The best thing about white jeans is that you can wear them most of the year and just change your shoes and tops for the season that is most appropriate…the same does not apply to white shoes. I am still old school about that. I don’t want to see white on your feet till after Memorial Day. RL
