White jeans- yay or nay?

[Anonymous]

I like the idea of white jeans for spring/summer but never follow through on buying for fear that they would stain too easily (I have kids) or are just too limiting in terms of when you can wear them . Are they classic or trendy?? I try to avoid items that will look dated in a year or two.

If you like white jeans, Andy recommended brands/styles?

I always have a pair. I waited until my kids were out of the toddler years, but I do wear them often. They go with a lot of different tops and IMO are flattering.

you do have to be careful about and get tide on it quickly if it does stain.

Had a pair from Rag and Bone that I wore for years until I got a bike chain grease stain on them that seems permanent.

recently replaced them with a pair of Levis. Love them so far.

I’m not into them. I don’t like wearing jeans in the heat of summer, and they have a look I don’t like—kind of “wine mom.”

I have white jeans but they don’t look as nice on me as they do on my friends. So it depends is the answer.

Classic IMO. I don't wear them because I have a toddler, but they look cute on others.

I like the idea of white jeans, but have never actually liked them when I try them on. Even aside from showing dirt easily, they never look good on me. (I have no problem wearing blue jeans of all styles so it's definitely just the color --it's just too much transparency on my bottom half or something.)

I never bought them until 2 years ago. I do like them now, but still find them hard to style so I pretty much only wear them with a black-and-white striped t.

Same. If they're heavy enough for the pockets not to show through, they're heavier material than I'd like to be wearing once they're seasonally appropriate.

Think they look fine on others, though.

I love them. My favorites for years were from Talbots, but I bought a new pair this year — Mother.

Too heavy for me for spring or summer.

I used to love them and wear them regularly. I still love them in theory, but these days I am too comfy in athleisure lol. But I'm popping in here to say that I found them surprisingly not that hard to keep clean! Sure, they can get stains, but for some reason with normal wearing they rarely did unless I spilled something. I wouldn't wear them if I had toddlers though.

I have been on the fence about white jeans for a few years, so last year I bought a pair of very light rinse blue jeans. It's a Madewell color they don't have any more, but these are similar: https://www.madewell.com/the-perfect-vintage-jean-in-chesthunt-wash-NO873.html

I have liked having a pair of "summery" jeans that look good with lighter tops and tanks and don't look so heavy and dark. But I also like that they don't stain as easily as white jeans (I've spilled things on them and do address with a Tide pen, but don't have to be as vigilant as I would have to be with white). I also think they are a bit less of a cliche than pure white jeans, which I think look great on some people but can look a little precious and fussy on others (which is why I've stayed away, I think I'd look fussy in them).

Kinda of nay. They feel dated to me.

Only if you’re size 2-8 and brown or tan. I’m size 14 and pale so not for me.
