Find the perfect white jeans for every style, wash, cut, fit, and feel.
21 Wonderfully White-Washed Jeans to Shop Now
It would be wrong to proclaim a single pair of white jeans the best, when really the best white jeans for women vary from person to person. Everyone has a silhouette and shade that make them feel most confident and comfortable. No matter the specific wash, cut, fit, or fabric feel you’re after, we’re here to help end the search for the perfect pair (or two).
Blanched denim was once looked at as an exclusive summer item, a piece with a life span of Memorial Day to Labor Day. However, the old-fashioned rule has been thrown out the window, and white denim has rightfully earned its place as an all-year-long staple, thanks to its variety of silhouettes and sartorial versatility. There are effortlessly cool baggy styles that go swimmingly with a bikini top, flip-flops, and summer-camp jewelry for casual summer days. There are also crisp, tailored, and tapered silhouettes that pair well with button-ups and structured blazers for put-together looks to welcome the fall. And, of course, soft-and-cozy pairs ideal for layering come winter, with chunky cardigans, puffer coats, and the like. White jeans are a seamless substitute for classic blue jeans, trousers, or shorts.
To narrow down the overwhelming options of crops; flares; straight legs; washes; and high-, mid-, and low-rises (yes, low-rise is back), we’ve edited it all down to a handful of our favorite styles that are sure to fit the bill. To add extra variety to the mix, we’ve included more than bleach-white denim. There’s a handful of other shades to consider, like ecru, ivory, bone, and cream. Plus some of these jeans are made with environmentally sustainable practices.
Here, Vogue’s guide to the very best white jeans for women to wear now, next season, and beyond.
