5 Fresh Ways To Wear White Denim
Delivering an instant closet cleanse, white denim’s versatility provides the perfect fusion of elevated style and utilitarian function – so make it one of your warm-weather go-tos, says COLLEEN ROSS
Go all-white
The sleekest way to wear white is top to toe – just be sure to opt for separates in relaxed, easy shapes to keep the look fresh. Start with a denim maxi skirt or jeans, such as Mother’s ‘The Full-Pipe Ankle’ pair, which have a relaxed barrel-leg fit, before slipping on Victoria Beckham’s organic-cotton shirt. Then, add Aquazzura’s leather-trimmed mesh ‘Gioia’ ballet flats for an effortlessly chic daytime look.

Add a pop of color
When the sun shines, white denim is the perfect way to counterbalance bold color. Ideal for off-duty days, Agolde’s frayed ‘Parker Long’ jeans, from our NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted pieces, come in a high-rise shape with a roomier fit through the legs. Style them with Toteme’s pinstriped poplin shirt in bright cobalt-blue and sandals or boat shoes. Unfasten one or two buttons at the top to showcase an elegant necklace, like Sophie Buhai’s ‘Full Moon’ pendant.

Make it work for work
Don’t just save your white denim for the weekend – classic wide-leg jeans are the perfect partner for tailoring, too. Toteme’s jeans are beautifully cut with neatly pressed pleats and pair just as well with heeled sandals as they do sneakers. Wear them from the office to dinner in the evening with Saint Laurent’s double-breasted blazer, slingbacks and a chic ring stack. By Pariah offers up the chicest triptych with its ‘The Albert’, ‘Triple Eternity’ and ‘Essential’ rings in diamond-encrusted 14-karat recycled gold and onyx.

Keep it casual
Jeans and a tee will always be a classic combo, so it’s worth investing in quality styles you’re guaranteed to wear on repeat. The Row’s ‘Kaddy’ T-shirt is made from irresistibly soft brushed cotton-jersey and has an oversized, boxy shape that looks as good worn loose as it does tucked in. Embrace relaxed proportions with Alaïa’s barrel-leg jeans and roll the cuffs to showcase Adidas Originals + Sporty & Rich’s ‘Blanc’ sneakers – their tennis-court green shade delivers a welcome pop of color. Then, finish with timeless black accessories, such as Saint Laurent Eyewear’s timeless D-frame ‘Jacques’ sunglasses.

Take it away
Cool in warm weather, gleaming in the sun – it’s no wonder white denim is a vacation favorite. The easiest addition to your suitcase? A pair of shorts. Button Chloé’s frayed style over swimwear, such as Missoni’s ‘Mare’ striped crochet-knit bikini, adding Lizzie Fortunato’s yellow ‘Laguna’ necklace, and an oversized white shirt. Finally, reach for DeMellier’s ‘The Capri’ tote in leather-trimmed canvas – and you’re ready for a day at the beach or a stroll in the sunshine.
