Today I’m excited to kick off a new {5 Ways} series with you! As soon as the calendar read September, I started getting a lot of questions about Fall style, and specifically, my thoughts on wearing white jeans after Labor Day.
Obviously you could swap in traditional denim, but there’s just something so chic about white jeans. You’ve heard me sing the praises of these particular white jeans before, after having tried no fewer than 20 pair! #whitejeansareseriousbusiness They were all too thin, too low, too high, or too pricey.
I can get away with thinner jeans in a dark rinse (love these!), but white jeans tend to show all the lumps and bumps if they don’t have a certain amount of thickness. #aintnobodywantstoseelumpsandbumps I also hate when the pockets show through!
But these are my Goldilocks of white jeans. I’d say Holy Grail of white jeans, but that might be a tad dramatic. The mid-rise hits at the right spot to be flattering, but still cover all the lady bits. They have just enough thickness and stretch to provide support, and a comfortable fit. And finally, the pockets stay hidden, and they don’t break the bank!! See? Holy Grail Goldilocks!
Fit Tip: I sized down one (I’m wearing a 0), and had them hemmed to ankle-length. They are definitely Women’s sizing, as opposed to Juniors.

Fit Tip: The jacket is lightweight cotton canvas, so it makes a great top layer for milder climates. It runs large, so size down at least one. I’m wearing an XXS.
When the weather cools off even more, add a plaid blanket scarf (love this smaller infinity version, too)…or if you just can’t wait that long, lose the jacket and add the scarf. Any combination with the striped tee is cute in my book!

Sugarplum Style Tip: Don’t stress about mixing white and ivory or off-white…it all goes! In fact, I’m mixing all the shades of white later this week!

I could create an entire {5 Ways} around just a striped tee, but this week is all about the white jean, and hopefully these posts will keep you from packing away your favorite pair! Where do you stand on white jeans after Labor Day? First I had {5 Ways} around the white jacket, and then the white tee...for someone who loves color as much as I do, I sure rely on white a lot in my wardrobe!
