Should i keep these white jeans?

anne

I bought some white skinnies recently which i have showed on YLF before, but in a back order that finally came through, i now have another pair.
I got these white straight legs for $20.

It's hardly worth returning and always good to have extra white jeans, right?

However it has been so long since I have worn straight legs I'd appreciate styling suggestions!

These are the straight leg jeans.
The ones in the picture are the white skinnies I already have.

For $20 I would keep. I suppose if they are long they would be good with a bit of a heel ...I'm wearing all my pants with sneakers these days and away towards flats.
Perhaps wedges would be good. Here's a few outfits I found on pinterest.

I have one pair of straight leg jeans and I am always stumped as to what shoes to wear with them so I will be following with interest for styling suggestions. Your white ones looked great, more like relaxed skinnies, and I like them with those booties.

I wear straight leg cotton blend oants in other colors for work during peak summer temps, so I could see these as more dressy and polished than the skinnies.
I wear mine long with loafers or sometimes a pointy flat,, where pant hem scrunches just slightly. The pant hem width needs to be narrow enough to show some vamp but is not tapered.
I also have a couple of pairs of laceless oxfords that work like a shootie- bootie with some of my straight pants, depending on heel height/ pant length and width.

Yes, a pair of white straight leg jeans sounds very versatile for you:-)
Will go have a look for some visuals for outfit ideas.

Also: depending on how wide the hems are you can also roll or cuff them and wear them "cropped", which gives you even more options.

Keep. Try a few rolls at the hem.

Thanks Angie, Marble and unfrumped too.

I have a pair of white straight legs that I cropped and wear raw hemmed or rolled. I tend to wear these in spring/ fall and cooler summer days.

Ok. Not happening this weekend. The tryout that is. Yesterday I had energy and time and NO white knickers . I've done a white wash but now am out of energy and time. Oh how quickly the weekend passes!
