White Jeans Round-Up<\/h2>\n

White jeans are like your very best frenemy. I think we all secretly have a love\/hate relationship with white jeans. Oh, you see the the women who wear the white jeans so effortlessly and somehow never get a thing on them. It inspires you to try again.\u00a0 But the reality for most of us is, we love the stylish affect they provide but often the implementation is problematic. I am here to help. I did the painful part and tried on fifteen pairs of white jeans and narrowed it down to four picks.<\/p>\n

Spring and early summer are perfect for white jeans. They provide warmth while brightening up your wardrobe. I have a few tried and true pairs that I usually rely on but this year when I pulled one pair out to wear, I found the rise to feel ridiculously low. When did that happen?<\/p>\n

Finally Liking the Higher Rises<\/h2>\n

As a woman who fought the return of the hi-rise because I have an extremely short waist, it seems as though I have finally succumbed to its allure and now find many of my old jeans (cause I never really get rid of jeans) way to low rise. It could also be that at almost 50, there is no way to avoid a muffin top if the rise is too low. Higher rise jeans are just more forgiving. And when you are talking white pants, who doesn\u2019t need a little forgiveness?<\/p>\n

Still, I was undeterred and decided I still want to find a good pair of white jeans. Honestly, a good pair of white jeans can elevate any outfit. So, I decided to hunt for a new pair. I tried on 15 pairs in the comfort of my home (thank you online shopping). Styles from Nordstrom<\/a>, Bloomingdale’s<\/a> and Shopbop<\/a>.\u00a0 Bloomindale’s is having their Friends & Family event with 25% off selected items running through 04\/14. It is a great time to pick up some white denim.<\/p>\n

White Denim Goals<\/h2>\n

My white jean goal is to find two pairs: a loose fit boyfriend style and a traditional skinny jean. Both pairs need to be flattering, not see through and with a medium rise.<\/p>\n

White Jeans I Tried:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Citizen of Humanity Drew Crop Flair Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – cute if flair cut is what you want.<\/li>\n
  2. PAIGE Sklyline Ankle Peg Skinny Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – PAIGE nails white jeans. These are just a bit too low rise.<\/li>\n
  3. AG Prima Ankle Cigarette Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – could have been a contender. Felt a little stiff though.<\/li>\n
  4. AG The Ex-Boyfriend Crop Slim Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – beware two whites. One not so white. Great fit.<\/li>\n
  5. Mavi Jeans Becca Tie Front Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – paperbag waist isn’t for me but great quality jean for the price.<\/li>\n
  6. Citizen of Humanity \u2018Emerson\u2019 Slim Boyfriend Jeans<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>– not really white kinda blueish. Low rise.<\/li>\n
  7. Paige Hoxton Ankle Skinny Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – ah! Practically perfect in every way.<\/li>\n
  8. AG Ankle Legging Raw-Hem Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – runs crazy small.<\/li>\n
  9. rag & bone\/JEAN The Dre slim boyfriend<\/a><\/strong> – wish I could find my size.<\/li>\n
  10. rag & bone\/JEAN Dre Raw-Edge Cropped<\/a><\/strong> – too low rise for me.<\/li>\n
  11. rag & bone\/JEAN Skinny Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – runs crazy small.<\/li>\n
  12. Madewell High Rise Skinny Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – a great option for the price.<\/li>\n
  13. rag & bone\/JEAN Ankle DRE Ripped<\/a><\/strong> – great ripped option.<\/li>\n
  14. Levi\u2019s 501 Skinny Jeans<\/a><\/strong> – super quality for the price.<\/li>\n
  15. Joe’s Jeans The Charlie High Rise Ankle Skinny<\/a><\/strong> – no pockets!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First, I just have to get this off my chest. \u00a0When did not giving you actual pockets in jeans become a thing? Seriously, pockets are essential. I understand that they often avoid them in white jeans to avoid the added fabric bunching but pockets are useful and I won’t buy a pair without them. Now, on to the winners all with pockets!<\/p>\n

    The Winners<\/h6>\n

    Boyfriend Style Jeans<\/h3>\n

    After all that, I can only recommend four pairs. First, the boyfriend styles I love – Levi’s 501 Skinny Jeans<\/a> (pictured below) and the AG The Ex-Boyfriend Crop Slim Jeans<\/a>. The Levi’s are only $98 so a total score on price. To get the fit like on the model, I had to size up two sizes. They are a tad higher rise than I like but Levi’s has mastered the art of light-weight denim but not see through.<\/p>\n

    I also decided to keep, the AG The Ex-Boyfriend Crop Slim Jeans which run TTS. Important to note, AG has two white colors in this cut. One is 01Y Tonal White which I tried first. The color is really a yellowy white and it just isn’t good. The other is 01 Year White cause that isn’t confusing at all. The 01 Year White is a true bright white and after trying the other from Nordstrom, I had to order the bright white from AG directly. Both of these are really a boyfriend style, cropped cut perfect for summer.<\/p>\n
