I Love White Jeans for Winter—Here's How Fashion People from Paris to New York Are Wearing Them RN

I'm a big advocate of wearing white jeans, no matter what the season. As any fashion person knows, they offer an effortless sophistication whether you're styling them with a simple tank top, or a cozy cashmere sweater. The neutral color makes white denim (or bone, cream, ivory or any other white-adjacent hue you’re working with) a goldmine for any outfit formula since it pairs beautiful with just about every shade and fabric. This season opt for white jeans in a trend-forward loose, and relaxed silhouette that feels of-the-moment, and give them a wintery touch with plenty of creative layering, cozy textures, and chic accessories.
If you need inspiration on how to wear your white jeans this fall/winter season, then keep scrolling below as I share some of the chicest white jeans outfits from Paris to New York that you can easily recreate yourself. Keep scrolling for plenty of shopping picks to get the looks.
In Paris, Monica de la Villardière shows us that a luxurious chocolate brown leather jacket is the perfect piece to pair with relaxed straight-leg jeans. A little pop of red adds interest to the look.
Shop the look:
For an elevated and upscale look, style your straight-leg white jeans with rich brown suede boots a simple beige sweater, and a chic black overcoat—a failsafe combination that's always chic.
Shop the look:
For a look that feels very of-the-moment, style a pair of ivory jeans with a chic scarf-sweater and finish the look with trend-forward burgundy accessories. You can't go wrong.
Shop the look:
From jackets to shoes—suede is having a major right now—and white jeans are the perfect piece to pair with the luxe-looking texture.
Shop the look:
For an off-duty look, copy Emili Sindlev's Scandi-cool outfit and pair a low-slung pair with athletic sneakers, a sporty sweatshirt, and finish with a striking long camel coat.
Shop the look:
Alexa Chung shows us that across the pond, there is nothing that says cozy-cool quite like an oversize print sweater paired with relaxed white jeans.
Shop the look:
For a white jeans look that's perfect for meetings (or margaritas), pair high-waisted jeans and cinch it at the waist with a black belt. Keep the rest of your accessories super polished—chic earrings, black boots, leather gloves, and a suede bag. Get creative with your layering—a black coat over a blue button-down over a white tee makes for a great fall/winter look.
