This Is Officially the Most Underrated Denim Trend of the Summer

Wearing jeans in the summertime isn't for everyone, but should it be, and we have just the denim trend for you to try before the beloved season comes to an end. Since we already dished on the best summer jeans across the board, we figured why not single out a trend that weirdly not enough people talk about—ecru and off-white jeans. If stark white jeans scare you (which I totally get), then this creamier version is the style to try ASAP.
This summer, we love how fashion girls have been opting for more oversize and straight-leg versions, especially when some contrast stitching is involved. These jeans are just unique enough to feel and look like a pair of cool pants. In other words, you could literally wear jeans every day of the week and easily get away with it. Ahead, check out how fashion girls are styling ecru and off-white jeans and shop a handful of our favorite pairs on the market. Trust us, this denim trend is not one to pass on as especially considering it's kind of still under the radar. Just saying.
Style Tip: Wear an oversize button-down shirt as a light summer jacket.
Style Tip: Wear multiple shades of white at once for a fresh summertime look.
Style Tip: Ecru jeans with a white T-shirt and black slides is probably the chicest (and easiest) summer uniform.
Style Tip: Dress up your off white jeans with a fun puffy sleeved top.
Style Tip: A cardigan or sweater makes for the best layering piece, year-round.
Style Tip: A basket bag and neutral slides make the perfect counterparts to off white jeans should you currently be packing yours in your suitcase right now.
Style Tip: A blazer and sporty sandals create just the right amount of juxtaposition.
