Best White Denim for Women Over 50
White denim pants have become a staple in my wardrobe all year long. The first time that I wore a pair of white denim pants before Memorial Day, I expected the fashion police to come knocking on my door. But with age comes confidence, and fashion rules are meant to be broken! White denim is so versatile that it looks great with just about anything. Here are some of the best white denim for women over 50.
My absolute favorite time to wear denim pants is during the spring and summer because they are the perfect backdrop for all of the bright, colorful tops I tend to select for those times of the year.
In an effort to find my new favorite pair of white denim for 2024, I ordered several pairs to try. They include a wide variety of styles ranging from slim fit to wide leg. Check out the try-on session below, and let me know which pair is your favorite in the comments. P.S. My dog wanted to be a part of the try-on, so you may see a cute little guest in the photos below!

White Denim For Women Over 50 – Flare Jeans
Flare Jeans in White
The first pair I am trying is the Spanx Flare Jeans in White. You girls know I love clothing Spanx (like these Perfect Dresses I recently reviewed and my favorite bra). When I saw these flare jeans, I immediately clicked add to cart!
These jeans are constructed without a button or zipper, so you pull them on (or shimmy, as their website says, haha). This helps the front to lay flat without any added bulk. They are high-rise, and the best part is that the fabric has built-in tummy shaping to help hold the stomach area in.
I grabbed them in a size large, and they fit true to size. They are available in an XS to a 3x. You can also grab them in petite and tall lengths. I am 5’6″ and ordered a regular. They are the perfect length when paired with a heel, but if I wanted to wear them with a flat sandal, I would probably need to grab them in petite. My white denim for women over 50 posts would be incomplete without a pair of flare jeans.
Ankle Straight Leg Jeans
The second pair of denim you see is also from Spanx. These are their straight-leg ankle jeans in white. They have several similarities to the first pair, like the no-zipper, no-button pull-on design, and built-in tummy shaping. The fabric has just enough stretch to make them super comfortable without feeling like they are going to stretch out too much by the end of the day.
I really like the versatile style of this cut, especially for the warmer months. They can be dressed up with an elegant top and a heel or dressed down with a more casual shirt and flat sandals. I ordered my regular size large in these, and they fit like a glove.
White Denim For Women Over 50 – Wide Leg Pants
If you’ve ever wondered if a woman over 50 can wear wide-leg pants, the answer is YES! These are the Wide Leg Jeans from Talbots. I would probably consider them more a trouser than a jean. I’ve been wearing a lot of wide-legged pants over the last year. I like this style of pants because they conceal the shape of your legs, so they’re great for camouflaging heavy thighs. I also think that wide-leg pants add balance to my broad shoulders.
I always consider proportions when I am styling an outfit. The rule of thumb is wide on the bottom and tight on the top. Basically, that means that when you wear a flowy skirt or wide-leg jeans, you should wear a fitted top.
I grabbed these in a size 8. The relaxed fit is very comfortable, and the fabric has plenty of stretch. These may be too short for me to wear with heels this high, but they would be an excellent length for a flat shoe. These are great examples of white denim for women over 50 looks fabulous.
Slim Ankle Jeans
I own sooo many pairs of white jeans; I just love them. The White Slim Leg Jeans from J.Jill is a great compromise for those who love skinny jeans, and they look great with flats or heels. I’m wearing them with a pair of neutral espadrilles, one of my favorite styles of shoes for Spring and Summer.
I like Slim Ankle Jeans from Talbots that show a little ankle, and the length also helps show off your shoes. This pair has a built-in invisible slimming panel to help slim and smooth, which I appreciate, and I bet you all will as well!
When looking for a new pair of pants, I suggest trying on a variety of styles. Whether you prefer wide-legged pants like the last look or a slim fit like this pair from Talbots, both styles can have a place in your closet. I find the slim fit style of these pants super versatile, as I can just as easily pair them with sneakers to run errands as I can with a pair of espadrilles for church or a lunch date!
I’m wearing them in an 8, and I think they fit a little loose, so I would be interested to see how a size down fits. My dog was really getting interested at this point in the try-on, haha. I thought this picture was so funny but also so cute.
Frayed White Denim Jeans
My favorite way to dress is Elevated Casual, and this gorgeous outfit is exactly that. It’s still casual and comfortable, but it looks elevated and put together.
The Tweed Jacket looks great coming and going. The frayed trim and polished buttons are details that make this jacket a standout item. It will be the star of every outfit, and you’ll get lots of compliments on it. This jacket looks fabulous with the white No Stain Girlfriend Fray Hem Ankle Jeans, but it would also look great with a pair of Wide Leg Jeans.
The No Stain Girlfriend Fray Hem Ankle Jeans are powered by Stain-Repel, Bright-White™ technology. They stay white longer and repel water-based spills. Come on…who doesn’t love that? I love the fit of these jeans, which are slightly relaxed but not loose and baggy.
