5 Breezy Summer Outfit Ideas with White Jeans
If you were to ask me about my favorite thing to wear in summer, it’s hands down a pair of crisp, white jeans with an easy, breezy summer top. Why?
I think that’s partly because I live in Canada (just outside of Toronto), and although white jeans are technically acceptable at any time of the year, no one really wears them unless it’s hot out. From May until mid-September, white jeans feel special. They’re light, bright, and my way to celebrate summer. And the best part is, there are endless ways to style them, which always make you look fabulous.
Here’s 5 ways to wear white jeans now.

1. With a Colorful Sleeveless Top
White is the perfect backdrop for an explosion of summer color. This cute cotton halter top with the fringe boho tie is a cheery summer look that’s great by the pool or when you are going to a BBQ.
You can tuck it into a pair of white jeans (I’m wearing straight-leg jeans, which are very popular at the moment), but I think it looks just as good when worn out, since it’s not too long and sits relatively close to the body. Add a pair of chic silver summer sandals and you are all set!
2. A Blazer
A blazer is a great way to dress up jeans, and with white jeans, a camel blazer looks old school money! It’s that subtle mix of tone on tone- white with tan with camel that makes this look expensive.
The classy double-breasted blazer style with the gorgeous gold buttons also adds to that look, too. Be sure to mix textures like I have with denim, a cotton tee, suede shoes, and a woven bag. It brings the tone-on-tone look to life.
3. With a Puff Sleeve Blouse
Short-sleeve puff-sleeve blouses are feminine and flattering and look fabulous tucked into a pair of white jeans. I like to wear mine with white flare jeans to balance out the wider shoulder and create an hourglass shape. So easy and so pretty. A puff sleeve blouse instantly dresses up white jeans.
4. A Striped Tee and Jean Jacket
White jeans lend themselves to nautical looks, which always look fab in summer. Bootcut jeans like these are so easy for every figure type to wear and also look right. Pair them with a striped blue and white tee and denim jacket for the perfect summer weekend look.
White or nude sandals blend in with the white jeans, making your legs look long, and you look taller.
5. With a Front Tie Shirt
Shirts tied at the side or at the front give that casual, effortless summer vibe and are great to pair with white jeans. Keep it simple by pairing a chambray front tie shirt with your favorite white jeans. A linen or cotton front tie top also works.

Excellent post, Deborah! I couldn’t agree with you more – white cropped jeans and white denim shorts are my favorite outfit staples in Spring and Summer. I’m from Iowa, and I like them for the same reason you do. They feel special and elevate anything you wear with them. So versatile, calm, and chic at the same time. I love the outfits you styled! Thanks for the great ideas!
Hi Sue, Nice to hear from you, and I’m glad you dropped by. Willing to listen to you like white too. I kind of like that I reserve this color for summer only. It makes it feel extra special.
