One wardrobe essential I can’t live without is denim. Wearing white denim for spring and summer is a classic way to keep it casual and cool. White denim is crisp and clean and is dressed up or down. Versatility is the name of the game when it comes to style. I don’t know about you, but I like a bang for my buck and want multiple ways to style a single item. The secret to a capsule wardrobe is a chic pair of denim; honestly, nothing beats a pair of white denim all spring and summer.
Years ago, white denim was once considered an exclusive summer item, a piece with a life span from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Thank goodness this old-fashioned rule has been thrown out the window, and this closet classic has earned its right to be worn 365 days a year thanks to its variety of silhouettes and sartorial versatility. But I think it looks particularly chic during the warmer months.

5 Ways to Wear White Denim This Spring
1. Straight-leg denim
I love the relaxed look and feel of straight-leg denim. This pair is from Ralph Lauren with a mid-rise. I added a frayed hem for a dressed-down laid-back vibe that’s perfect for a casual outing. Add a Linen Blazer to elevate your casual look. A straw tote or wicker handbag screams spring/summer.

2. Wide-Leg Jeans
The spring runways prove the current IT jean is the wide-leg jean with slouchy and baggy winning the day. However, you can incorporate wide-leg denim into your closet without looking like the Michelin Man, try Slim Fit Wide-Leg Cropped Jeans. I truly believe every woman should own at least one pair of red shoes. They’re just plain fun to wear and add personality to any outfit. Or add a simple white button-up and neutral footwear for a completely different look.

White Denim Style Tips
• Avoid flimsy fabric at all costs. You never want your panty lines to show through. And consider sizing up one size to give a sleek silhouette.
• A monochromatic look is easy to achieve with white denim. Simply choose a white blouse or tee, and you’re done! But adding a third layer is easy with a monochromatic white outfit. A denim jacket, blazer, or utility jacket looks terrific with an all-white ensemble.
• The classic color combo of black and white is always all right. It’s chic and sophisticated and always in style. Add a pair of strappy sandals or heels to give the outfit personality!
• White denim also feels fresh against dark greens, browns, taupe, and khaki. My favorite is white and camel. Just like black and white, this color combo is chic and sophisticated.
• Keep it classic and chic by pairing white denim with a chambray or gingham shirt. Add strappy brown sandals for a Parisian vibe.
• Remember, the great thing about white denim is its ability to accentuate the color it’s paired with. Love red or pink? An easy way to elevate your spring/summer look is by pairing it with a colorful statement blouse. It couldn’t be easier than that!
• If you’re looking to stay on trend, adding a pair of trendy denim to your wardrobe won’t break the bank and is an easy way to test the trend waters.
Want a frayed hem? It’s easy to achieve at home. Here’s how:
- Take a pair of jeans and pin one leg to the desired length.
- Fold the jeans with the pinned leg on top.
- Take a pair of scissors and cut the longer leg.
- Flip the jeans over and unfold the pinned leg.
- Match the length then cut the other side.
- Pull a thread on both legs to produce the frayed hem.
4. White Denim Jacket
A white denim jacket is the perfect third layer for spring and summer. It’s also a great way to go denim-on-denim without being matchy-matchy. This White Denim Jacket from Chico’s features a shirttail hem, which gives it a more laid-back look.

5. White Denim Skirt
If you aren’t on board with blue denim skirts, a white denim skirt is a great alternative. It feels a little more put-together, a little less casual, though it can be dressed up or down with ease. Go for a White Denim Midi Skirt, for a sophisticated white denim look.
