Your collage of white jean pics has helped me see that I like them when they are styled with something edgier like in pics 6, 9 &amp; 15. &nbsp;I don't look great in hight contrast though so I'd have to figure out how to do edgy w/o using black. &nbsp;Lots to think about.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans/page/2#post-1789203 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 02:46:24 +0000 karen13 1789203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to get my courage up to buy white jeans, so I am so glad this out has been revived - I missed it the first go around. I suffer from all the phobias listed here. And I live in a very dirty area - the Sierra Nevada mountains are dusty dry in the summer/fall and muddy in the spring. So If I even get within 1 foot of my car in the garage the dirt streaks jump on me.</p> <p>But I have my eyes out for some for this spring/summer...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans/page/2#post-1788631 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 10:43:12 +0000 Jane 1788631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've really only just got into the white jeans but I really think it is great. I am so pleased that I pushed myself to take them on board. I'm so pleased I did and I think that the analysis that you have done will really help.

Funny, though, that I wore white capri pants on our cruise last week and spilled food on them.

They fit fine but were expensive and I'm not sure how much I will wear them. My main complaint is not how they look, but the dirt attraction issue. I live in an often dusty area with a pretty active lifestyle. Can I wear them enough without being stained mess? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788311 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 12:57:58 +0000 always trying 1788311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love white jeans so much I have 3 pairs.&nbsp; in my climate I wear them all year round.&nbsp; in our mild winters i wear them with tall cognac boots. enjoying all these photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788310 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 12:54:27 +0000 Author Linda 1788310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also somehow missed this one, Maneera. A wonderful post! I love the images you collected and how they illustrate your points (all spot on) about how to wear white bottoms. I have the thigh phobia thing going, so wearing white meant forcing my way past those fears. [Seriously, my dad called me "Thunder Thighs," so I had issues.] </p> <p>Thanks to posts like this one and the WIWs from others, I now love wearing white bottoms. I'm studying your tips for ways to enhance that look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788305 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 12:47:17 +0000 lyn67 1788305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans, as per Suz also said, were one of my very important summer essentials (among the white denim skirt). I loved they were more sustantial than any other pants as I am not a dainty person, they suited me better than some other fabrications. <br />Then last year I've put my little paws on some brilliant ankle pants (sturdier fabric with some elastane-cool and no wrinkles) and their comfort cannot be beaten-not even by the white jeans.&nbsp;<br />So, I would rather say my summer essentials are white bottoms (of any kind) and &nbsp;as I have apple tendencies, I always style them exactly like you have said (very wise) in your thread, above.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788285 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 12:01:57 +0000 Quietgirl 1788285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply Brilliant! I am back into white jeans this summer....unfortunately I bought skinnies (why?) so I am definitely into #1 - the long top!<br />Thank you for all your great research! I am saving this thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788277 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:46:37 +0000 unfrumped 1788277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO right on. Just great.<br /> That why I started trying mine with my longish EF top in my WIMW post. I ended up wearing a different sweater but with a high- low blouse under. I believe now it's due to exactly your post analysis. Need time and sometimes some extra comfort zones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788274 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:38:56 +0000 Anonymous 1788274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great post Maneera! This year, for the first time I am spending the winter months in Florida and white is my "go to" bottom on a daily basis. In fact, I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of dark pants. Suz had a very good point regarding the light- down here in Florida the sun is brilliant and it is incredibly easy to wear white,light and bright colours. When I return home to Ontario in late April, the light will be much different and I can't see myself reaching for my white jeans until late May or June when the sun gets a lot brighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788273 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 11:30:44 +0000 Staysfit 1788273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I must have missed this one because it's from 10 months ago! Fabulous assessment Maneera! As a tallish person who others see as thin, I still see my legs as very thick and muscular compared to the rest of me. I absolutely have an adjustment period to white jeans in the summer. I love all the work you put into this post. The pictures are helpful. I'm making it one of my favorites for future reference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1788262 Thu, 16 Mar 2017 10:43:33 +0000 Sisi 1788262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting post Maneera, but in my opinion you are worrying a bit too much.

Awhile back, I rallied to the Angie challenge and did white pants and top...and I still really like those pants. But here's the thing...they're not jeans. I haven't come around to white JEANS. Maybe this is because I don't really do denim; but then white jeans, I don't know that they're very denim-y. So, don't know what I'm trying to say here, except that white pants may be more easy to adopt in a different fabrication for me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1660923 Sat, 14 May 2016 06:31:20 +0000 Deborah 1660923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much white jeans inspo in this post &nbsp;Great points to Maneera. &nbsp;I only started wearing white jeans in the past 12 months. &nbsp;I feared them, wasn't sure I liked them, thought they made me look big and so on. &nbsp;</p> <p>I discovered that a substantial fabrication was necessary (not too thin and not too heavy) and that a slim to skinny cut was my best. &nbsp;I'm wearing them now as I type with a flat sandal and an asymmetric black tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1660896 Sat, 14 May 2016 03:31:58 +0000 Ledonna N. 1660896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired!

I love my white cropped jeans and wear them all summer. I don't wear them in winter, they just seem odd with winter tops and it's too cold for crops here in winter.

I'm going to read everything slowly, more carefully, over the weekend. </p> <p>Angie - we all know you're a die-hard White Jeans girl! It's one reason you inspire the rest of us to wear white too Thanks for the links.

I live in white bottoms in the summer months, but the first few times I wear them they do feel a bit conspicuous. It's just a matter of adjusting my eye for the season. Love the examples you chose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-lesson-how-to-wear-white-jeans#post-1660797 Sat, 14 May 2016 00:27:08 +0000 Aziraphale 1660797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, this post was eye-opening for me. I had no idea people were afraid of wearing white jeans because of figure flattery issues! I think they look good on everybody. My eye doesn't automatically go to the upper thigh area, I promise. &nbsp;:-)</p> <p>I don't personally wear white jeans because (a) I'm a spiller, and (b) they are too "pretty" for my style (for lack of a better explanation). Angie sings the praises of white jeans a lot, so a year or so ago I went through a phase of trying them on to see if I could learn to like them. I briefly considered getting some distressed ones, like Una's, but then decided I'd probably never wear them because I already have the perfect distressed blue jeans. Plus, is it just me, or are your underpants often visible under white jeans? You'd think the material would be thick enough that this wouldn't happen, but it does to me.&nbsp; </p> <p>After reading what Suz and Janet wrote, I think I understand why I don't have this white jeans fear: I'm often TRYING to make my bottom look bigger. I often wear a dark top and lighter bottoms, or prints on the bottom, because that way my body looks evenly balanced (in reality, it's not).</p>
