I've always had this rule in my head that what I wear on top needs to be lighter or brighter than what I wear on the bottom, to help balance my body. These jeans will make that tactic impossible! But I was surprised to see, the black top with the white jeans doesn't look awful, probably because of the strong shoulder emphasis with the white stripe. </p> <p>I'll have to play with these some more and see what kind of outfits I come up with. I'm not a big jeans wearer in the summer because it gets so humid here, so I'd need to find ways to make these work for cooler months too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485750 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 05:10:01 +0000 catgirl 485750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FANTASTIC. The issue for me was finding a way to wear them with the color palette I usually wear, so keep that in mind. You are one fearless fab babe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485687 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 03:19:08 +0000 annagybe 485687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn with my white jeans with a grey striped sequin top and my moto vest. That felt edgy enough for me. Due to our incredibly short summer I don't think I've worn my white jeans once last season. I have a pair of skinnies, and wide legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485683 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 03:14:10 +0000 Anonymous 485683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a beautiful shape and I think you can totally wear these Janet! You look like you're really tall, so the contrasting black doesn't stumpify you in the slightest. A great blazer or jacket will give your shoulders a bit more presence, but is not really neccessary. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485383 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:25:24 +0000 Meredith1953 485383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in the white jeans. I love the black white top in pic#1 but not crazy about the black boots against the white jeans. Maybe a soft gray boot??? Your pic#2 is adorable and I love the teaming of the sneaks and blue denim with the look. You have now inspired me to go give an honest look for white jeans. I used to always wear dark bottoms to balance my top but lately like myself in gray and khaki trousers so white jeans shouldn't be TOO much of a stretch from here. Colored jeans...like red are another matter. Still thinking about that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485225 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:53:20 +0000 Jonesy 485225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pants look really fantastic on you, Janet! The fit--including from the back!--looks perfect!! Truly! I say keep 100%. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485223 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:51:51 +0000 Angie 485223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER!</p> <p>Keep for warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485114 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:29:07 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 485114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit on the jeans. I haven't worn white jeans in winter but can say they are extremely useful for summer and I don't know that I would go without a pair. If you think you can get enough wear in during the winter, definitely get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485097 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:34:57 +0000 Queen Mum 485097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these look great on you Janet. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485081 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:50:53 +0000 Scarlet 485081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the second outfit, but to be fair those are colors I gravitate to, so I am probably biased. Your rear view looks great and flattering too. The first outfit is flattering and looks good too. It is very bold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485071 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 08:25:30 +0000 HeleenH 485071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in these white jeans! I like the way you styled your shoes: black to bookend the black top, partly white shoes that make your legs look even longer with the lighter top &amp; jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485060 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 07:18:50 +0000 AJ 485060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks FAB! </p> <p>I know you don't like to emphasize your pear shape, so I think you can wear these as long as you balance it with attention at your shoulders. I like how the white accents in the black top in pic 1 draw the eye up.</p> <p>Go ahead and rock these jeans with your great figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485046 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 06:07:16 +0000 Deborah 485046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, they look good on you. I am paying attention to the replies as I have bone/cream coloured skinnies I haven't worn yet:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485025 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 04:16:07 +0000 Janet 485025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get what you're saying about the seasonal colors, VC -- very interesting! I wear a lot of cobalt, teal, emerald green, etc., and I can see white working nicely with those regardless of season. </p> <p>These particular jeans, I believe, would be good year-round because they have a nice substantial weight to the fabric. Not thin like some white jeans I've seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485022 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 04:11:41 +0000 velvetychocolate 485022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it were me, I'd keep. I think they look *really* good on you, and even though it's the middle of winter - I think these look fabulous. And yes, I would wear white jeans in winter, if I had a pair that looked as good as these. I'd actually be more inclined to wear white jeans in winter than coloured jeans. I'm thinking that this is because I see white as just as much a winter colour as a summer colour? </p> <p>What do you think? White in summer evokes whitecaps on ocean waves, and yet - it also means snow in the winter. </p> <p>In the meantime, it just occurred to me that if you were wearing white in the winter, you might want to pair the white with colours that you'd find in nature during the winter? You wouldn't necessarily find brights with white in the winter, but you would see grey (leaf-less winter tree limbs), and you might also see deep and dark greens. You'd see dark stormy ocean colours, but not so much turquoise. Does this seem silly? The idea that white in winter will look beautiful with whatever else is going on environmentally during that season? </p> <p>Hope you keep the jeans - they look great on you. As much as they might be supposedly 'out of season', I don't really think they are. To me, white is just as 'winter' as it is 'summer'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485017 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 04:02:01 +0000 Janet 485017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I thought of the Docs after I took the pics! Ooh, that could be fun.</p> <p>Rita, I thought of you when I posted this -- thanks! I'll wear my white jeans if you wear yours! ;-)</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback, ladies! Keep it coming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485011 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:56:53 +0000 Suz 485011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brave Janet, forging ahead on her style journey, leaves no stone unturned to become her most fabulous self, even the dreaded white jeans!! And guess what? They will look amazing with your Docs, too! </p> <p>I think the real question is whether you can wear them in a way that fits with your emerging style. And I'll bet you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485008 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:51:25 +0000 sarah 485008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big ol' yay from me. I think that these jeans look fantastic on you. I don't know about wearing white jeans in winter (I don't know where you live, Janet), but I LOVED having my white jeans in the summer - I bet you'd find that they'd become a standby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485006 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:50:41 +0000 Vicki 485006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the high contrast, but I've got to tell you I also really like the denim and Cons in photo 2, probably because I like those colors for myself. I'm moving in the same direction and planning on using my white jeans over the holidays, too. Thanks for the lead, Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-485005 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:48:43 +0000 modgrl 485005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You asked for complete brutal honesty so here goes... I don't know!! You know I am struggling with the same question so I am looking forward to seeing the replies here. The fit is perfect on you. Shall we make a white jeans pact? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-484997 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:33:17 +0000 Mo 484997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black top, too! I know it goes against current wisdom around here, but I feel the slightly shorter length of the black top gives you more leg line and makes you look taller and thinner. Keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-484992 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:19:01 +0000 JennyAnne 484992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, you look so fabulous! Keep them!! I also like the black top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-day-i-thought-id-never-see-trying-white-jeans-kr#post-484988 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:14:51 +0000 Janet 484988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking for total honesty here. I generally avoid going lighter/brighter on my lower half. I think the fit is good -- Paige's sizing is consistent here. Just wondering if these are a) flattering, and b) adaptable to my evolving style persona (ie, edgier, more rock'n'roll looks). </p> <p>Pic 1: Just for grins I threw on an old black &amp; white top for high contrast because I like the idea of b&amp;w graphic looks so much. </p> <p>Pic 2: Then just grabbed the first tee &amp; jacket I found, and put on my new Cons. Not crazy about that look, but I like the b&amp;w version more than I thought. </p> <p>Pic 3: the rear view. Ugh. Hello scoliosis.</p> <p>What do you think? Yay=keep Nay=return </p>
