Possibly my favorite wash for denim?! I love the fresh look. When you have no idea what to wear, white jeans and a white tee with a neutral sandal is polished minimalist perfection. (In general, monochromatic dressing is my answer when I’m stumped.). Above and below, I’m wearing my Leset pointelle tee, SLVRLAKE Graces, and the Zara jacket so many of you are sad you missed — but keep checking! Sometimes they restock. (You can find them on Poshmark, but at a markup.)
A few favorite pairs:
01. Gap’s kick fits. So, so flattering. Probably my most worn pair! Totally opaque, with a good amount of stretch. Run TTS.
02. SLVRLAKE Graces. My second most-worn pair (seen in photos above). These run TTS. I love that you can cut the hem yourself (as they are unfinished) so you can tailor them to the ideal length for you (if you’re short like me). A non-stretch denim, but a loose fit.
03. Pistola Pennies. These have a similar shape to the Grace, but are much stretchier — like airplane comfortable. A little less opaque — you have to wear nude underwear with these.
04. Electric & Rose Easy Pant. These just arrived a few weeks ago but I’m in love with them. Super comfortable pull-on style — a loose, baggy fit. (15% off with code JENSHOOP15.) I like to style these with a slim-fit tee so they don’t overwhelm. A great casual look!
A few other pairs on my radar:
01. Mother’s Fairest of Them All. I’m really impressed with Mother Denim. I own and love these (great for petites) — very comfortable and such a great silhouette/fit. I love the look of the white pair, too.
02. These AYRs are in my cart. I think I first heard about them through Julia Amory. They have a classic look to them that I love.
03. A true wide-leg from Frame. They also have a slim-fit wide leg style in white.
04. More ecru, but these La Lignes are cool and comfortable. I own in the olive green color. I keep mentioning this, but no one cuts a silhouette like La Ligne. They just nail the proportions, shapes, etc — it always feels fresh and relevant. You can get 10% off with code MAGPIE10.
05. A new silhouette from J. Crew.
06. Veronica Beard cropped wide legs — love the way VB styles these across their site. Very tempted to pair these with my cropped blazer!
P.S. Planting trees under whose shade we will not sit.
P.P.S. A clarifying exercise.
P.P.P.S. Recent children’s finds.
I was inspired by you to keep my white jeans in rotation all winter! One of my favorite outfits was my white madewell kick flares with a jcrew factory Aran knit sweater and my taupe Thursday Chelsea boots. Sometimes with a chambray button up under the sweater. Thanks for giving us new ideas!
LOVE the sound of this look!!! I can imagine how chic you were! Love white denim all year round!
