6 Pairs of White Jeans You’ll Want to Wear All Season Long

By

While we heartily endorse everything from inky indigo denim to slim black jeans, there’s one pair of men’s jeans we have yet to add to your rotation. So, for this spring and summer, allow us to introduce you to white jeans.

White jeans, while a little intimidating to finally take the plunge and buy (probably out of fear of immediately staining them), are the perfect fashion choice to help usher in the warmer months. Which reminds us. When do you begin wearing white jeans, since you definitely can’t wear them in winter? A good rule of thumb: Bring white jeans out of your closet right when the grass turns green in your neck of the woods. Take white jeans out of your daily rotation in late summer (pre-Labor Day), but in the meantime, feel free to give them a whirl.

We think white jeans work particularly well for laid-back, summer day-drinking, or easygoing brunching and city strolling. But please, change them out before you head to nicer dinner or hit up a nightclub. Wearing white jeans to either of those events will make you look like a fashion novice and not the confident style stud you know you are.

To help you score some great white jean options, we rounded up the best from a few great brands below – and at a variety of prices.

Why You Should Rock a Pair of Flannel-Lined Jeans
Flannel-Lined Jeans

Ah, shoulder season, the purgatory period of the calendar year. It’s cold, it’s windy, it’s gray, and most of all, it’s mercurial. You can wake up to the sun shining and think winter is finally over, only to learn upon leaving the house that snow flurries are expected later in the day. Not only is this psychologically onerous, but it presents a deep quandary when getting dressed. If you can’t predict the weather, what are you supposed to wear?

Choosing your wardrobe from the waist up remains relatively straightforward in shoulder season — just layer up or strip down as needed. But alas, there’s no such solution for your lower hemisphere. It’s either put up with a few more months of bulky base layers or grit your teeth as the cold blows right through your Japanese selvage denim.

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion. 
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.
