I figured, if I'm going to go for white on my legs, better get a good quality. Not regretting it one bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me/page/2#post-599484 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:58:35 +0000 lpr200 599484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una,<br /> I just splurged on a pair of J brands and I love them in a way I have never loved white pants before. These are soft, comfy but not see through. Whichever brand you choose, I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me/page/2#post-599419 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:59:50 +0000 noella 599419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uniqlo make a decent version in straight leg, which sounds perfect for you, considering your preferences. Although they contain stretch, they fit ever so slightly looser than skinnies and create a lovely shape when worn - quality is nice also! </p> <p>Although I love white jeans on other people, I have never really taken the plunge myself (I didn't keep the Uniqlo jeans, but did try them on). Other people manage to make them look so perfectly chic, and I love the idea of pairing them with a grey sweater or slim shirt.....I am also thinking of the ever stylish Emmanuelle Alt - she is probably my skinny jeans idol ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me/page/2#post-599282 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:03:32 +0000 catgirl 599282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, LOVE those inspiration pix. You always find the best stuff. I may try American Eagle as we have one. I hate ordering from j. crew with the shipping and return costs, but maybe when I'm in Hawai'i I can try on in person! Thanks for all the recommendations - sounds like it's worth a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me/page/2#post-599232 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:40:12 +0000 Anonymous 599232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of American Eagle skinnies that I bought for a song. I did not want to spend too much in something I know I will stain. I recommend them. I have not worn them yet. White skinnies (and bottoms) are 80 degrees and above for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599222 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:19:34 +0000 mscooks 599222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go for white skinnies! I've got a pair of white boyfriend jeans and I love love LOVE them! (although I must confess, haven't worn them in aaages with a 2yr old running around lolol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599104 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 04:49:32 +0000 DonnaF 599104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Jag straight legs I got at Nordies, now on sale online at the Rack for much less in a P4. My tags are still on (as I have been looking for a cheaper pair) but they are a P2. They run fairly big. I'm not crazy about the pocket flap, tho'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599101 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 04:40:46 +0000 Belladogga 599101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for JCrew. I have the white matchsticks in my regular size. They're close when I put them on but stretch out quickly (but not too much) to fit like Jonesy's pictures. I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599097 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 04:33:14 +0000 Chrizzle 599097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kept trying on white skinnies but decided that my thighs are just too big in comparison to the rest of me. That's the reason I don't own a pair of skinnies in any color. The closest I have are dark denim straight legs cut like the ones in Jonesy's inspiration photos. I just bought white bootcuts - the first white pants I've worn in ... maybe ever! I love them. I like the way they look with my peeptoe wedge shooties, or colorful ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599058 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:21:40 +0000 sarah 599058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I got the JCrew high-rise skinnies in white, and they are not skin-tight - they fit more like Jonesy's pics above, although I did size up. I like them a lot. I love my white bootcuts, too. I guess I'm a white jeans gal. But I could see you in them in summer as well - perfect for those long summer evenings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-599029 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:43:38 +0000 Jonesy 599029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I have a pair of white bootcuts that I'm going to have the tailor turn into something in between a skinny and a straightleg (inspiration pics below, which I have trotted out on several previous white jeans threads :). I like the idea of white jeans that aren't skin tight, but also aren't bootcuts. They are juuuuust right, and slightly slouchy (at least that's what I'm going for...).</p> <p>So, could you have your tailor turn your bootcuts into straights or skinnies? Might be worth a shot, especially if they fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598995 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:53:35 +0000 Deborah 598995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think white skinnies would work on you Una. I bought white straight legs recently with a view to pairing them predominantly black however each time I have slipped them on, I have them slipped them off lol. I think I may just have to make the adjustment to white bottoms I am also concerned about them getting dirty!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598983 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:38:35 +0000 Aida 598983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about thinking of white skinnies just like some other color of denim, like cobalt or yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598977 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:34:59 +0000 Sveta 598977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If skinnies is your go-to formula them why not white ones? You would rock them and you have so many bright tops, they will blend into your wardrobe splendidly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598959 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:24:42 +0000 bj1111 598959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do it, do it, do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598942 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:53:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 598942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not touching white skinnies with a 10 foot pole, but you could definitely rock them Una! I'm still on the lookout for the perfect white boot cuts or straight legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598913 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:52:05 +0000 modgrl 598913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried them with a denim short or your equiptment blouse? Boy's Target Gingham shirt? Green blazer? I thought I would hate mine but they are getting a serious work out this year. CPW on my $10 ebay'd bootlegs is down to $1 or less.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598912 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:48:58 +0000 modgrl 598912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS- I will buy your white bootlegs off of you. I think we are the same size. I have to keep white jeans on my list permenantly as long as I am wearing them. They are a disposable type item for me because they stain so fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598898 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:27:45 +0000 velvetychocolate 598898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh....being in a slightly cooler climate, even in summer, and having a white doggie...the stars are aligning - you must get white skinnies! </p> <p>Must. </p> <p>Don't forget, I think that white jeans can look fab even in non-summer months, paired with the right items. </p> <p>I don't have any particular recommendation because I haven't been looking for white denim lately, but I really like the way they look, and now that you've mentioned that you're often on the cold side even in summer - white skinnies will be *perfect* for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598890 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:17:18 +0000 rae 598890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My white skinnies make me feel like I'm wearing longjohns. DH likes them on me, but I only wore them once so far... if you decide they are for you, I will be tuning in for outfit inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598884 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:05:15 +0000 Meredith1953 598884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wearing my white levi demi-curve straight leg jeans a lot and like Mo I love pairing them with bright colors. I am lucky that furbaby is predominantly white so his hair doesn't show. AG you look awesome in your skinnies and I think you could really rock the ones that Inge posted the link to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598883 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:02:43 +0000 ironkurtin 598883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White shirts are SO different than white pants!</p> <p>...Although I don't know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598882 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:57:54 +0000 catgirl 598882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, VC! Fortunately my dog is white! (and ruins most of my wardrobe with her furry shedding). I am looking for ways to amp up my short-lived summer capsule and get the most bang for my buck. Shorts and light skirts are not big options as I run cold and so does the summer weather. Hmmm.... must ponder. Of course, by the time I find something that fits, summer may be over! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598879 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:53:07 +0000 velvetychocolate 598879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say this, but white jeans are for 'vacation' only. It's just reality when you live with a giant black labrador retriever. :)</p> <p>I love the look of them, and I think white skinnies will look great on you. Mine don't get worn (I don't have them in skinnies, I think I have a pair of straight legs somewhere around), but I do take them on vacation if seasonally/weather appropriate. I enjoy them then, and do not have to worry about black dog hair, muddy paws, or what have you. I actually pack them in a separate bag inside my suitcase, to keep them nice and clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598873 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:49:03 +0000 annagybe 598873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure. I haven't gotten rid of them. But part of it maybe the fact that only if you're lucky do get two wearings out of them before you have to wash them. I guess I'm just not feeling them. I'm having trouble picturing myself in them currently. Sorry for such a vague answer. As always I'm the outlier in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598872 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:48:57 +0000 Mo 598872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my white straight legs quite a bit - even in winter weather. They are all season pants for me. They are so easy to pair any bright top with - foolproof, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598866 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:44:39 +0000 catgirl 598866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, but you wear white all the time! I'm afraid of white tops myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598865 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:42:29 +0000 ironkurtin 598865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am afraid of white pants. Deeply afraid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598864 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:42:19 +0000 catgirl 598864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, why not? That's how I feel about the bootcuts, but I am feeling like white bottoms of some kind are a wardrobe hole for me. Am I wrong? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-white-shinnies-for-me#post-598861 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:40:24 +0000 annagybe 598861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, I didn't wear my white skinnies at all last year. </p>
