White Jeans in winter..WIW X2 & what I didn’t

Funny enough when I read today blog post, I was already wearing my white jeans.
#1 what I wore today which is an almost exact replica of an outfit I wore last year (so yes, you’ve seen this before, but I thought it was a funny that I wore this outfit on the same day as the blog post on white jeans)
#2 what I wore a few weeks ago..black & white
#3 what I didn’t wear...equestrian lite..something felt off here, I’m thinking the blazer was to short... thoughts? Maybe without the belt?

As always, all comments, thoughts and suggestions welcome

I like the idea of #3 but want the blazer to be bigger and roomier. Nothing to do with whether it fits you - more to do with needing a bit more volume up top to balance the look. Or try it with a black t-shirt instead of the white?

#3 just needs higher boots/knee boots to balance the jacket.

These are all great -- the boots are really interesting! I think the 3rd one would work if the jeans were higher waisted -- then the shortness of the jacket would not matter. (My jacket's short in my pic, too -- a shorter jacket seems to work better with a higher rise pant).

Also that is a fabulous looking jacket!

LOVE your boots!
I like the outfit with the jacket best ...looks great to me

Great outfits! I love the first two especially. I think 3 might look more harmonious with a less edgy boot since the jacket is so tailored. I love juxtaposition of stompy boots with classic items but in this case I think the jacket might need to be more oversized for balance.

I love pics one and two on you. I agree with you pic three is just the tiniest bit out of proportion somehow.

Looking good as always. Not sure what is off about 3 but you’re right, something..... maybe no belt or lighter color belt, and a pointier or more delicate shoe? In theory it seems like it should work...

as usual, you have given me great ideas/solutions.
i do have a pair of white jeans with a higher rise, will try that..as well as swapping out the boots for something more polished. will also try this with a pair of white(ish) jeggings and my black riding boots...i really like those boots, but don't wear them as much as i think i should becuase they are slightly outside of my comfort zone, and this outfit was attempt to dress them up, will continue to experiment....

Don't give up on those boots--they're awesome. I would wear those with blue or black BF jeans rolled up or straights unrolled paired with a knit pullover--maybe a vest. I'd probably keep it low contrast--but more by default than choice. I don't have a lot of high contrast stuff.

Kellygirl..thanks I’ve found had better luck styling these boots pretty casualy, but continue to try to dress them up. I seem to good at taking dressy things and wearing them casualy but not so much going the other way

I like all the looks. Do you have white or whitish boots that would be low contrast to those jeans and continue the leg line visually? You have been given some good ideas. Kellygirl's idea of adding volume with rolled jeans resonates with me.

I love the jacket, too. I think Suz is right - high waisted pants would probably work better. Your outfit from last year still looks good!

You are a Winter White Jeans Wearing inspiration. The first two renditions are fabulous, and #1 is my fave.

I hear you how something felt off in #3 since I have the same blazer. It’s short and fitted. I wear it with a fitted t-neck and straight white jeans to create a very tailored equestrian look. I love it over dresses too. It will also work better with high waisted jeans.

Great outfits! 1 is my favorite, those boots are TDF. I am learning from all the good suggestions for #3 - I don’t have much with a high waist and struggle a bit with the proportions as I’m quite short waisted, but it is a really fresh look so I guess my eye is adjusting.

Great outfits, my fav is no 1.

Now I’m on a mission to tweak this and make it work next week! Stay tuned

Your white jeans are great! They fit you beautifully! I think Runcarla’s idea to try tall boots with the equestrian jacket is a good one. Maybe a white belt, so the color contrast doesn’t visually compete with the lines of the jacket would make a difference too.
