How To Wear White Jeans For Fall And Winter
I know a lot of us grew up believing that once Labor Day rolls around, the white jeans are put away until after Memorial Day. I’m here today to free you from the past and drag you into modern times by showing you how to wear white jeans for fall and winter.
My Favorite Qualities in White Jeans for Women
Before we talk about HOW to style white jeans, we should talk about WHAT white jeans we should wear. I have tried out many pairs of white jeans (a pro of being a fashion blogger, haha!) over the years in every style possible. My main requirement for a pair of white jeans is that they aren’t see-through! I combat this mainly by wearing nude underwear and looking for pants made of high-quality materials. I also love finding pants that help to repel stains since white jeans seem to be a magnet for lipstick stains and spilled coffee like these made with no-stain fabric from Chicos. The jeans I’m wearing in all the outfits are made of this fabric, and I’ve worn them all summer long with no issues.
How To Wear White Jeans For Fall And Winter – Neutral Colors
One of the easiest ways to wear white jeans for fall and winter has to do with the colors you choose to pair with them. Wearing your white, natural, ivory, or ecru jeans with traditional fall colors, like this rusty brown colored long sweater, keeps your outfit looking seasonal. Neutral colors look fabulous when paired with white. Beige and white are two of my favorite combinations because they look so chic and classy.
I love wearing no-stain jeans and pants from Chico’s, and that is where this pair is from. These are the No-Stain White Denim Ankle Jeggings, and I sized up from a .5 to a 1 in them. I usually size up one size when wearing white jeans and white pants because I don’t want them to be so tight that you can see through them.
The layering Shell sweater is the perfect taupe color, and it is perfect for wearing with white jeans. I’ll wear this shell in the summer with shorts and chinos, and I never put away my shell or tanks in the winter. I ordered a large, but I think the medium would have fit better. The shell was too big for me, especially under the arms. I wanted to show this photo because it shows what a difference that adding jewelry makes.
How To Wear White Jeans For Fall And Winter – Denim Jacket
If you don’t already own a denim jacket (or two, or three, or four), we can change that today! I wear a Denim Jacket all year long, yes, even in the summer. If I made a list of clothing that all women (no matter the age) should own, a denim jacket would be high on the list.
I paired the denim jacket with a Mongolian Cashmere Polo Sweater in a gorgeous brown color. It is perfect for wearing with white jeans, but I’ve also worn it with regular blue jeans and even a slip skirt. It is available in many colors, and I also bought the faded denim version. Both of these sweaters can be worn in spring and summer, so you’ll get your money’s worth from them.
I have many denim jackets, but my favorite is the one I bought from Amazon. You could have knocked me over with a feather because I wasn’t expecting to love this jacket. But it has plenty of stretch, so I’m comfortable, and it looks great with everything!
How To Wear White Jeans For Fall And Winter – Try On Haul
Light-wash jeans, like this pair, look casual, while dark-wash jeans look dressier. The natural color I’m wearing with the funnel neck striped sweater can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for creating a winter outfit. A funnel neck works for those who have trouble wearing turtlenecks during the winter season.
If you like soft, comfy, and cozy clothing, you’ll love this Crewneck Sweatshirt in the Splendid Dots prints. This is another whimsical outfit without the holiday vibe. I’ve always been a sucker for polka dots, and apparently, so has Megan.
Look how the white jeggings bring out the white in the sweater. I needed to have sized up in the jeggings since they have a slimmer fit. These are similar to skinny jeans, which seem to be coming back in style.
This Fair Isle sweater has the same colors as the cashmere sweater above but in a different pattern. I like Johnny Collar shirts and sweaters, but this one is too large. They didn’t have my size, but I wanted to try it on anyway.
How To Wear White Jeans For Fall And Winter – Casually
A column of white (the jeans and a white linen shirt) would look casual with the denim jacket or the deep navy blazer. Cashmere elevates every outfit, but it can be pricey, but Quince is known for affordable cashmere, and this sweater is only $29.90!!! This sweater is lightweight, and is available in several colors. I wear a large in most Quince cashmere sweaters.
My favorite way to wear white jeans for fall and winter is anything casual. Since I don’t work outside the home, I spend a lot of my days around the house and don’t have to get all fancy. I love wearing white jeans with a tee, an oversized sweater, or a great chambray shirt.
This shirt checks off two of those lists since it is oversized and chambray. Like a denim jacket, a chambray shirt is an essential fall fashion item, and it looks great worn in many ways. I love pairing it with a sweater or cardigan, but one of my favorite ways to wear it is with a wool plaid blazer. Here are a couple of blazers the shirt would look fabulous with.
This oversized striped cardigan is one of my favorite purchases from Amazon. I love how soft and comfy it is, but the oversized look is what I love the most. It is currently out of stock, but this one looks similar. I think it looks great with the NYDJ white ankle jeans, and yes…you can wear them in the fall and winter.
A Column of White Using White Jeans
I love wearing a column of color because it is a classic style. When you dress in a column of color, you look taller and thinner, but you want to make sure that you don’t look boring. One of the easiest and best ways to add some pizzazz to a monochromatic look is through colors and patterns.
This outfit is a classic example of effortless style with a modern twist. The column of color created by the white jeans and crisp white button-up shirt is clean and sophisticated, making it the perfect base for layering. Topping it off with a lightweight v-neck cashmere grey sweater adds warmth and an extra touch of elegance without being too heavy. This look is polished yet comfortable, making it ideal for everything from casual outings to more refined occasions.

I am so trying to wear white, but it is so hard to pull off. I feel so conspicuous! I also loved that you also size up in white jeans. They just show too much. like every dimple!! lol
Thank you for this wonderful blog, I’m a young 69 yr old!! <3
I started wearing white jeans about 3 winters ago and love them with a black sweater. I live in TX and not many people wear white jeans here. I’m going to start wearing them with white and khaki stripe sweaters, love all
the outfits you showed. Have a Happy New Year!
I want to wear WHITE JEANS in the fall & winter but such a hard sell for me. Those “no white between Labor Day – Memorial Day” fashion rules are deeply ingrained in me. I’m gonna find the right look and “just do it” “break the rules” I appreciate all the fabulous outfits you put together. Happy New Year!
After you do it once, it is much easier.
I love winter white all year long and yes you’ve convinced me to forget the old rules which I admit do try to guilt me from time to e
I love the idea of wearing white jeans all year long. Thank you for the inspiration!
My husband and I are on the hunt for wood furniture. Trying to slowly replace the manufactured pieces. It isn’t easy.
I love all these! I am going to a little party next week and considered white jeans but didn’t know how to pull it together. Thanks! This is great!!! (I just found you and am enjoying your blog)
I’m so glad you are enjoying my blog.
What about white cordurouys?
They are fine to wear, plus they are a little warmer.
Cute ideas to keep white jeans in rotation all year long.
Love all the outfits! Getting mine back on now! Thanks Tanya! Happy New Year!🎉🎉
I love the white jeans paired with the chambray shirt from loft, it’s in my cart. Thank you for your most helpful advice!
I like the white jeans with neutrals. I don’t wear them in winter because our summer is so long. Once it’s November and a bit cooler I don’t feel like wearing light colors in pants anyway.
I like the white jeans with the chambray shirt. I always struggle with what shoes to wear. I do not wear heels or wedge shoes.
I love cream colored corduroys but cannot seem to go all the way to WHITE. Old dogs and all that…..lol. I think white exaggerates your weight, lumps and bumps….all seasons. I rarely wear in summer either, for that same reason.
I love the idea of wearing white jeans/slacks year round. You have a lot of great ideas here for inspiration. I love your neutral looks (like tan/taupe with white, and the denim jacket) the best of them all. I think someone in the comments said they love the look of winter white with gold accents, that too would be something I’d love. I bet an all white outfit would look great with a camel coat or some leopard accessories. Hmmm! Time to experiment!
Carolyn, I’ve worn that combination many times, it is one of my favorites.
I promise that next I will leave my white jeans in my closet to be worn.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Barb
I’m glad you are open to trying them.
I’ve never tried the jeggings from Chico, I may need to after this post.
Some great ideas for white jeans in the winter! Thank you for sharing.
Love white jeans & a denim jacket! My grandma wouldn’t wear patent leather after Labor Day either! My husband only wants solid wood even if it’s old & scratched up. If you can find somewhere that sells Amish furniture it’s normally solid wood.
I especially love this post with so many great ideas for white jeans in fall and winter. Also love hearing from you and some others that skinny jeans are coming back.
Thanks!
these are very nice outfits. I really like them.
Love white with chambray. You look fabulous in them all. In Canadian winters though with all the snow and slush, white jeans don’t really work. I pull mine out in March or April when the weather is a little better. Happy New Year
Love the chambray and white jeans outfit!
I loved this post! I ordinarily don’t wear white in the winter though because I live in a cold climate and it looks a little odd with dark winter coats, but I will save your post for spring.
Can you please tell me which color of denim jacket you bought from Amazon? I have a dark dark denim that does not look good with black but I don’t know which of the lighter shades to purchase.
Many thanks.
I bought several since I love it so much. The Weathered version is the one I wear the most, but I also bought it in Olive and Drenched.
I have always put my white jeans away after Labor Day but you have given me some ideas! Thank you!
I have always put my white jeans away after Labor Day but you have given me some ideas! Thanks!
I love all of these looks! Chicos has the best white jeans. ❤️
I like the idea of white jeggings – but I don’t think I ready yet to wear white jeans. Definitely not in winter but not even in summer. They do look so nice and refreshing though. I like the denim jacket that you say is your favorite. I have a couple of stretch denim jackets, in regular denim and also a light blue that I haven’t worn in years because of weight gain. But I’m finally losing the excess weight and can wear them again and look forward to styling them because of you. I also like all the clothes you show us from Amazon. I’m amazed at all the nice things they have.
I wear white jeans all year as well!! I appreciated your tips, as I feel I’ve been in a rut! I’m definitely ordering the linen button up and cashmere sweater to layer and upgrade my normal look. Thank you.
Great post! What color denim jacket did you order from Amazon?
I bought several since I love it so much. The Weathered version is the one I wear the most, but I also bought it in Olive and Drenched.
I love “winter white”, too, especially a solid column with gold accessories. Great ideas today (yes, every day)!
So many great looks with white jeans!
Love the chambray!!! Happy Monday ❤️❤️❤️
I keep my white jeans out, but always chicken out wearing them in winter. but yours looks so nice I will just have to take the chance. I love the sweaters you paired with them.
I was sooo nervous the first time that I wore them. I thought someone would call me out, but no body paid any attention. Lol!
I love the white jeans.
Great post–I put away my favorite oatmeal colored jeans–thanks to you, I’m hauling them out again!
Tania,
I’ve always wanted to wear white in winter but never knew how to fit it in. Thanks for the tips on this!
I live in the north and there is snow and slush up here so wearing heals isn’t practical here (plus I can’t do heals). Can you show more outfits with “north country” shoes?
Great ways to style your white jeans! You and I wear the same size jeans from Chico’s and I also size up to a 1 in white jeans. Chico’s jeans actually fit me better than other brands. I’ve always loved a chambray shirt with white jeans. I live in Ohio and will wear my whites as far as October when it’s still warm.
Thanks for the post of wearing white jeans in the winter! It is a hard one for so many! Happy New Year!
Cute outfits! I love white jeans all year too!
Will need to try my white jeans with neutral colors. Thanx for the suggestions. As always, you look great in your posts.
Also look at Amish style shaker furniture for solid wood selections.
I purchased the oversized striped sweater from Amazon when you first featured it-one of my favorite Amazon purchases too!
As hard as I try I cannot wear white pants after Labor Day(unless I’m on vacation in the Caribbean or other tropical location)! 😂
Love the blue Johnny collar sweater best of all!
Hi, love the striped cardigan with the white jeans .………… very classic!
Thanks so much for all your great fashion suggestions.
I agree very hard to find solid wood
Did you find a dining room table? Please keep us posted. I am looking for one too.
We did, but it isn’t wood.
