How to find the perfect pair of white jeans

I've been avoiding white pants for years, for the usual reasons: I'm worried they'd get dirty about five seconds after I put them on, and that they'd make me look bottom-heavy. This spring weather is making me reconsider, though. I love how fresh and crisp they look, and it would be nice to have an alternative to my usual dark-rinse denim.

8 spring trends and how to wear them

My friend Sam, who worked at a major denim brand for years and is a total jeans expert, says that she keeps her white jeans tight (in a pale hue, the looser the pair, the more frumpy the look, she says) and washes them with every wear to keep them pristine.

A DIY laundry trick for your favorite wardrobe pieces

J Brand's 10" Skinny might be it for me. They're slim and devoid of labels and obvious embroidery. They hit right around the ankle—to avoid stains, I don't want anything that would possibly drag on the ground or catch on my shoe. I'm picturing these with studded sandals and something along the lines of this Built By Wendy chambray shirt.

    White jeans are one of my favorite trends this summer. I agree that they need to fit right (read: tight, but not too tight) to look great and sexy. I also wash them with every wear! Here are a few I love and recommend:

    And Small Town has great white jeans too: http://www.fffabulous.com/2008/05/small-town.html

    white jeans are for skinny to fit people who are average.

    overweight to obese people should stick to dark colored pants.

    im not discriminating.. just being realistic here. if you're overweight, dont wear white jeans.

    Oh WOW I just bought a great pair. LEVI no less! 501 superlow rise. Skinny and straight. No tag no label just the signature pockets. I had tried on m favorite brand which is Express MIA's and the white just didnt look right. I'm glad I put them back and went into Nordstrom's Levi's section.
